Sporting goods maker Smith Optics is offering I/O Recon goggles for winter sports enthusiasts, which combine Smith’s premium anti-fog lenses with GPS and Bluetooth technology. A heads-up display is integrated into the frame design, allowing users to log and view information without taking their eyes off the powder.

According to Smith Optics, the frame design maximizes field of view. With the heads up display, skiiers and snowboarders can see the speed they’re going, the height of their jumps, and track and follow their friends on the slopes. The Bluetooth allows connection to a smartphone.

List price for the goggles is $650.
