Ski goggles with built-in GPS that tracks all your stats in real-time?

Too good to be true right?

No, they’re here now! These goggles have an LCD in the corner that shows your speed, altitude, length of run, top speed, and lots more.

It’s small enough to not distract you but big enough to show you exactly what you need. In the future they are planning on integrating real-time information about where your friends are on the slope too. A must-have for avid skiers.

SwiMP3.1G is the name of this innovative product for the swimmer who don’t want to risk damaging their earbuds.

It is super-easy to attach this device to the strap of your swim goggles. It sounds much better than you expect. If I ever get started swimming as my doctor tells me to, I’m getting one of these.

Bone conduction sounds funky and some people might be shaking their heads but I think we are only seeing the beginning of this technology. I think Navy Seals would enjoy this one!
