Thanks to Oakley’s Airwave 1.5 goggle skiers and snowboards won’t have
to wonder how fast they’re going, which way they’re headed, or where
their friends are the next time they’re bombing down a Colorado
mountainside. The Airwave 1.5 will beam all that info – and quite a bit
more – onto the inside of the goggle lens with a heads up display (HUD) powered by Recon.
Aside from being a top-of-the line Oakley goggle (with interchangable
anti-fog lenses) the Airwave 1.5 comes loaded with tech features. It has
GPS, Wi-Fi, thermometer, and MFi Bluetooth built in, allowing the
goggles to display speed, location details, temperature data, and – for
the truly rad – the Airwave 1.5 will even measure height, distance, and
hang time off jumps. There’s also a “Buddy Tracking” function that shows
friends who have opted in where everyone in the crew is on the
mountain, and the HUD comes pre-loaded with over 600 resort maps. The
common concern that it might be awkward to have a computer display worth
of info shoved into your eyeholes is alleviated by positioning the data
at a resolution that appears to the eye like a 14-inch monitor from
five feet away.
