No need to wonder where you are, how high, how cold, how fast you’re going, or how far you jumped. Nope. With the new Zeal Z3 (with Recon MOD GPS and Polarized Automatic lens) all that data will be displayed right up in your face on a 16×9 widescreen display that only you can see. It can be paired with a Smartphone to allow you to see who’s calling you maybe, read text messages, all without even touching the phone.
The stunning GPS capabilities of the MOD Live can pin-point your location to within a meter, tracing your every move on the slopes. The on-board altimeter shadows you to the summit, where the thermometer informs you of the alpine conditions. . . As you set off, carving through the backcountry, your path is followed from mountain peak to ski lodge. Long gone are the days of soggy paper trail maps. You can now find your way around resorts easily aided by intuitive navigational features.
We didn’t believe it until we tried a pair on at the SIA Show in Denver last winter. We didn’t think it would work with our contacts on, but the Recon heads up display was in perfect focus. There, but not at all distracting.
