“Today’s goggles can display your speed and location, take pictures, show text messages and more, but all of that advanced technology is worthless if you can’t see,” says ABOM founder, Dave McCulloch. “We’ve tried all the ‘anti-fog’ technologies on the market, from hydrophobic coatings to electric fans, and none of them are very effective.”
McCulloch turned to his longtime friends, IP Attorney Howard Russell and inventor Jack Cornelius, for a better solution. After years of prototyping and testing, Cornelius and his team of engineers designed KLAIR, an ultra-thin, transparent, conductive film sandwiched between the inner and outer lens in the F-BOM goggle. When the film is heated up it works much like a car’s rear window defroster, removing fog from the goggles in seconds. A small, lightweight, rechargeable lithium-ion battery mounted inside the goggle provides power.
The F-BOM features a scratch-resistant, polycarbonate lens from Carl Zeiss to provide the best clarity with zero distortions, as well as 100 percent protection from UVA, UVB and UVC rays. Using an innovative and intuitive system, the lens can be easily interchanged with red, yellow and dark tints for different light conditions.
The F-BOM Kickstarter campaign has a goal to raise $50,000 before October 31, 2014. ABOM will also have a booth at the SIA tradeshow in January 2015.
