This GPS enabled Salomon ski goggle ensure safety is a button away

Backcountry skiing is adrenaline packed, snow-oriented frenzy that certainly isn’t for the faint hearted! As with all adrenaline-fueled activities, there is an underlying element of danger that keeps participators on their toes but is ready to catch them off guard at any moment… with backcountry skiing, this threat is avalanches.

The Salomon Vector offers a heightened level of safety over your standard pair of ski goggle; packed into the striking design is GPS module that, when activated, communicates with the paired mobile app that your family and friends will have installed on their phones.

Activating the alert is nothing short of an intuitive fuss-free method of interaction; a single, large button is positioned on the top face of the goggles, when the user feels as they are in danger they simply hold the button down for five seconds… and wait.

This pair of sleek, stylish and safety-focused goggles have the skiers safety at the forefront of their design!

No More Unbearable Side Cramp Whilst Running!

Running is a pastime enjoyed by many, but for others it is a loathsome activity. This negative outlook often stems from the discomfort that is brought on by a stitch. A popular piece of advice for dealing with this inconvenient pain is to ‘run through it’, this is much easier said than done! However, Nike+ Runaid, aims to change that.

After registering the user’s pulse, the handheld device relays a series of appropriate breathing patterns to the user through small vibrations, keeping them on track and assisting them through non-intrusive feedback. The pebble-like form with its rounded curvature keeps fits comfortably within the user’s hand, while a thick strand of rope always keeps Runaid with the user. The sleek, minimalistic design on the top is contrasted by the patterned underside, which has been introduced to increase a stronger grasp through textured finger grips.
