My dad bought these...he's a sucker for new gadgets.

They're pretty cool. All the data tracking works properly, and the maps feature on the computer is pretty cool. Downsides, they are big. And they look big on a person's face. Also, you don't really want to be looking at the screen while you ski...more for looking at your top speeds on the lift haha.

That said, I think they're pretty sick to have. Especially if you travel to large mountains and want to track your day. We did this when we traveled out to France.

as everyone else said you have a few options on goggles with the technology your looking for, if you have an opportunity id say try to find a shop with any of the goggles your looking for and compare,or at the very least do a bit of research before buying them only looking at them online, good luck with your chioce
cheers

im sorry but those things are fucking stupid, why would you want to try to look at a bunch of numbers in front of your face mid line? theres plenty of other devices out there that do the same thing if you really need it like gps's and ski watches. And id bet that a normal pair of goggles is going to work better as goggles as those.
