I search-barred but came up with nothing. Anyone seen these new Oakley goggles?

"After long wait, and months after Smith hinted at its I/O Recon Goggles, Oakley comes out with its Airwave Goggle. Arriving in time for the holidays — not to mention the snowboarding/skiing season — theOakley Airwave makes use of the latest HUD technology from Recon Instrument — giving riders an in-depth reading of information including distance, airtime, temperature, speed and altitude. The goggles will also be able to connect to mobile devices via Bluetooth, showing incoming calls and text messages — while at the same time, allowing full control over the device’s music player. As this technology is still rather new to the market, the price is set at a considerable amount, retailing for £499.95 GBP (approximately $800 USD)."

Some of it seems unnecessary, but the feature where you can see where your friends are could be really helpful for backcountry.

But maybe you could jerk off manually while you watched poem on your goggles in an xxxxxxl suit. No one would ever know.

Oakley should just ship it as a gift. Don't think Canada would even care.

That video also gave me the feel that the goggles will be available independently.

Why would anyone pay that much for something that unnecessary and ugly.

Not that I would ever buy a pair of these goggles, but if you have the money, why the fuck not? Why buy a Ferrari when a 1983 Honda Civic can get you where you need to go?
