Video Recording Ski Goggles

The ski goggles are a must for every sports lover. It doesn’t matter whether you’re involved with skiing and snowboarding or you are an extreme sports lover and you sky dive every weekend you have a chance, the top quality goggles have to be part of your equipment. Goggles protect your eyes against small particles that may put your life in danger, not to mention inclement weather conditions. When you ski, you’re almost always wearing your goggles, so how cool would it be if you had a video camera built into your ski goggles? Introducing the Video Recording Ski Goggles from Hammacher Schlemmer.
There are so many gadgets out there that you can almost catch everything on camera these days, therefore the video recording ski goggles sound like the ideal piece of equipment that combines two important aspects of every extreme sports lover – you’ve got protection for your eyes and your entire experience is captured on video. The 5 MP video camera is an HD (high definition) camera and in order to get a good sound too, the microphone has a protective cover to mask or filter out the rushing sound of wind or rain.
You’d like to capture video of your outdoor experiences, and you usually have to ask your friends to take the pictures or videos from a distance. With the Video Recording Ski Goggles, you shoot the video from your own perspective, exactly what you’re viewing through your ski goggles. Now that’s even better!
With 4 GB of memory, you can record over 100 minutes at a high resolution video. If that’s not enough, just get a compatible microSD card and your problem and with the additional storage, you can capture even more. However, the battery only lasts for a couple of hours before you’ll need to recharge.
When it comes to its original purpose of protecting your eyes, the video recording ski goggles perform just as well as other high quality ski goggles. The lens have UV and anti fog protection, plus they can be fitted with helmets as well.
In order to view your video footage simply plug the goggles into your computer with a USB cable and download the videos. Keep in mind that the Video Recording Ski Goggles only come in one size, but they are adjustable and one size fits most, so you shouldn’t have a problem with fit.

Well seems an interesting and cool gadget but what about the price i have around a dozen of eye gear that bought from eyeinform.com, but not of this kind. Actually all my eyeglasses are avid fashion type, and I’m not a that kind of skiing lover, but the video recording application is really cool and would love to know about the price and if there are similar kind of other eye gear as well. All in all a cool piece.
