Our Online Store is Open in North America!

SHOP open for biz

The day has finally come. For those of you that have been virtually waiting around outside our "store front" we apologize for the wait. 

We're stoked that MOD & MOD Live are finally available to the public. It's been a lot of hard work this year but extremely exciting as well getting these products built, and partnering with some great brands to create recon-ready alpine goggles

Building on the success from last year's Transcend model we've built a Micro Optics Display that can snap fit into a variety of Recon Ready goggles from Alpina (R-Tech), Briko (Veloce) and UVEX (G.GL9). As well, Zeal will be offering their Z3 model this year pre-built with a MOD inside. 

We've relaunched our website as well and have some great sections to check out like info on our new MOD & MOD Live products, social help community, events and don't forget the career section too if you aspire to work with us. 

So the ribbon has been cut with those giant imaginary scissors and our online store is now open for business and able to ship across North America. We'll be adding a European store in the coming weeks and will make sure to keep everyone updated on that. There is also a growing list of retailers carrying MOD & MOD Live. Check out our find a retailer section for more info. 

Here's some info from our Press Release:

“The transition to modular based optics allows us to expand our reach exponentially,” said Darcy Hughes, Chief Marketing Officer, Recon Instruments. “The snap-fit design, Bluetooth interaction, combined with the ever-evolving Android platform, is a game changer for the action sports industry in terms of connectivity, real-time information direct to eye, and community sharing. 

Other new features this season include a fasten-anywhere Bluetooth remote control, 33% larger widescreen optics, and an adjustable optics arm for a truly custom fit. Recon Ready goggles are already available from Uvex, Briko, Alpina, and Zeal Optics, with several more leading goggle brands scheduled to come onboard this winter and spring.
 
Recon’s HQ Online community extends your Alpine experience after a day on the slopes, with sharing, bragging, and exploring everything the mountain had to offer long after your day is over. Skiers and riders can re-live and learn from their trips and runs, add images and video to create a highlight reel to share with other community members or with friends and family via Facebook and Twitter.
 
MOD and MOD Live are available now for $299 and $399 MSRP respectively at leading sporting goods retailers."

It's very brilliant to have the MOD if it could permit women to have a better fit whith the goggles.  The Zeal transcend is a bit too large for my face.

 

Other Comment:  what will you do to permit those whith IPAD to download the data of the day.  It is not very convenient to bring a big Pc when you go in a ski trip.  Considering the luggage limitations, I prefer to bring my IPad.
