Recon-Zeal Transcend Goggles: Get Ready for the Winter!

Alpine lovers and skiers, pay attention! Remember way back in February when Recon Instruments announced that it will roll out the first GPS-enabled goggles in October of 2010? Well, the good news is that Recon Instruments is on the mark – as planned. The highly anticipated Recon-Zeal Transcend goggles are now available. The excitement over these devices is highly understandable. They are positioned for a limited release for this year, and shipment is planned to ensure that they are ready once the snow starts to trickle in.

The Recon-Zeal Transcend goggles will be available in two models. The first one is the Transcend SPPX featuring the SPPX polarized and photo-chromic lens priced at $499, and the other one is the Transcend SPX with SPX polarized lens offered at $399.

So, what exactly are the big-time features of these goggles that make their release important news? Well for a start, they are not the usual Oakley goggles sold in many ski shops.

We can go on and on here, but what is certain is that the next adventure of skiers on the Alps will never be the same again. So, are you ready to hit the slopes with these Recon goggles?
