The Zeal Optics Transcend GPS Goggle ($399) is probably the coolest idea for skiing or snowboarding that we’ve seen in a long time. It truly brings the future to the weekend snow warrior.

Coming out in early December, the Transcend has a built in GPS chip and offers real-time statistics such as speed, altitude, vertical distance traveled, and more. There’s an LCD display mounted inside the goggle so you’ll have access to all the information while bombing down the slopes. It also has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery so you’ll have plenty of juice for 7 hours worth of runs.

The Transcend has a built-in USB port so you can download and analyze your day. The included software has a Google Map overlay so you can plot and measure all your runs.

All in all it sounds a little excessive but wow we want one.
