Morning all.

Has anyone had experience of the above ?
The ability to be able to change the shade setting at the push of a button would appear to be the answer to all our woes :D

Oooo excellent idea and interesting technology but two main problems at the moment...

- That price ($200!) will get you two pairs of top quality goggles... or some decent frames and 2 or 3 lenses, for example.

- The lens is cylindrical rather than spherical (I'd assume that's a current limit of the LC technology?).

So wait for the Mk2, sensibly-priced and spherical lens version I reckon...

...now if they added auto light sensing that would be cool - imagine skiing down a sunlit run and then into shade through the trees and having your goggles react instantly to the change in light...

Firstly Admin.Hi there and thanks for the swift reply.
You can now obtain these goggles for $169 .Not too bad I reckon.
I have had a conversation this morning with a guy who tells me they are the "badgers nadgers" :D
Any idea when Mark2 are arriving ?

Sounds gimicky to me.. for now I would get some good quality goggles with a couple lenses for different conditions?

If you are dead set on it-go for it! If you live in London and are ordering from the US you may have to may UK vat.
