Oakley Airwave Goggles, MSRP $800, Bluetooth enabled

[Larz-the-Ninja]

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)."

[Literature]

Goggles don't need HUD.

[caddyshack]

[TACO-DOG.exe]

can i watch my favorite movies and tv shows on it too?

 

[Broook]

Dont understand this .. When the canadian doller is worth more nowadays.

 

[SteezyVandy]

seems all a little unnecessary but i would still kill for a pair of these

 

[bighomieflock]

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

 

[NinetyFour]

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

 

[cwillygood]

that seems much better

 

[7springsprod]

Lol

 

[NinetyFour]

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

 

[DosasNMimosas]

yo quiero

 

[blindside]

I can't believe this is becoming a real thing.

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

I really hope I see a gaper hitting up side booters with a pair of these on this season.

 

[Chubz.]

honestly, who would pay 600 dollars for a pair of goggles...jesus.

 

[JWeinstock]

hahahah this would be so great

 

[GnarNinja]

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

 

[.AR6rider.]

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?

 

[THUGwife]

the speedometer would be ideal for hitting jumps

 

[blindside]

Because it's gimmicky, gimmicky as fuck.

 

[dbchili]

these are actually sick IMO, would be very useful for riding backcountry

how are these any more gimmicky then the phones they connect to?

 

[tdollo]

so that means no more broken ankles on chads
