Description

Right now, you're looking into the future—that's a fact.

There's no doubt that the Zeal Z3 Live Goggle is from the future. Just one of these features should should be enough to convince you: an integrated and digital heads-up display behind the lens, built-in GPS tracking, seamless smartphone integration to display notifications, photochromic tint that automatically adjusts to match light conditions, and a prime-quality lens handcrafted in Japan. This is the most high-end winter goggle ever offered by Zeal, and perhaps even the snow industry as a whole, hands-down.

  • Recon MOD Live GPS system tracks speed, altitude, location, jump stats, temperature, and it integrates with the functionality of your smart phone
  • Live Tech enables caller ID, text messages, buddy tracking, and mountain navigation from a heads-up display that you see in front of your eyes in 16:9 widescreen format
  • Photochromic lens technology allows this lens to dynamically adjust the brightness of its tint to match the available light, so the lens tint is lighter on dark days and darker on bright days
  • Polarized lens coating eliminates glare that reflects off snow, metal, and other shiny or wet surfaces
  • Optimum Lens is Zeal's finest lens design, crafted from top-shelf materials and shaped to provide crystal-clear optics
  • Lens design includes multiple vents and an anti-fog coating that keep your vision clear of moisture
  • Over-the-glass lens shape allows you to wear this goggle over your prescription eyewear
  • Impact-resistant frame flexes to absorb the hardest hits
  • Dual strap system allows for plenty of adjustment so you can dial in the most comfortable fit
  • Solid Stitch construction utilizes heavy-duty thread to increase the durability and longevity of the goggle strap
  • A double-beaded layer of silicon keeps your goggle strap securely in place on a helmet or around a hat
  • Zeal is proudly based in Boulder, Colorado in the United States

First off, the optics are absolutely amazing. Undeniably the best pair of goggles I've got. Super crisp in a variety of lighting conditions -- absolute great depth of field. Not overly bright Or dark. Just right...

Sadly, though, the HUD and it's associated service are dreadful. The browser plug-in crashes with alarming frequency. The app doesn't stay paired to the phone -- literally everytime you use it, you need to pair the phone to the goggles. The clock doesn't stay set. I've as of yet been unable to upload any of my runs.

Save your dough, get a pair without the Recon Mod Live HUD disaster. And run Alpine Replay on your phone instead.

Agree 100% with this review. Used mine for 3 days and couldn't take it anymore the last day. As mentioned, you literally have to pair the phone every time you turn the unit off OR if the unit decides to turn off on its own (yes, it happened to me once when I fell). I was able to load my runs to the computer but know that the interface used is web based and is VERY slow! The battery life is dreadful as well. If you plan on leaving the screen on to guide you on the slopes, then be prepared to recharge somewhere after 2-3 hours. If you put the screen in sleep mode, then the battery life increases to 5-6 hours without turning it on more than 5 minutes. Another bad point about these googles is that it is VERY difficult to replace the lens once you take it out to adjust the HUD. There are no instructions anywhere either.
Besides that, this would be an awesome product if they could fix the above mentioned problems.

Do these have a camera inbuilt or is it...

Everything is working perfectly with the iPhone. I am running the iphone 5 and you will need to download their app and update the goggle.

As for the optic itself. I am blown away. I have a pair of Smith IOX photochromatic and they can not touch these lenses. I also find these to be much more comfortable than the smiths. The frame of the Z3s to me is better made. It screams quality, not saying the smiths do not but there is a difference and to me it is noticeable. However, the Z3s do not come with a hard case. I had to call Zeal and order one. Their service is top notch. I say get a pair and see for yourself. Im very happy with this purchase.

I'd sure like to know about the peripherals in these. No one is yet to comment on the subject & the z3 gps model gets bashed on for lacking it. Any words of wisdom would be helpful.

Just an update. The goggle was already updated and I did receive the new remote to work with the iPhone in case people were asking. I also find that the goggle needs to be worn just a tad bit higher on the face some. I have been playing with the screen to get it in the right spot. It is kinda hard to get it just right, but with some playing around you will get it. Their are very few apps at the moment. The GPS works perfect. I walked around with it on and it was changing in real time.

The electronics are cool but the lens to me is crazy good if your looking for a photochromatic lens. I have a pair of Smith IOX photochromatic's and they don't change like the Zeals do. The view of the Z3s seems to be pretty good if you ask me. They seem to be almost as as wide as the IOX but the IOX is wider view. I will say the Z3 is a bigger goggle for sure. I also tested the anti fog. I breathed hot air on them and the fog/moisture dissipated very fast if not instantly. My only real complaint is they do tend to ride high because the nose so if your use to the roomy nose area of smiths you may be let down. However this is very minimal but some may see this as an issue.

As I get more time with them ill report back.

These goggles are insane! Great lens along with crazy technology. Control it with your phone and rumor is, they are continuing to update software through the SDK platform the recon system is built on. A MUST have for the techy!
