Hot on the heels of the British trade event Slide, the annual international trade fair for sporting goods and sports fashion Ispo lands in Munich from 7-10 February and as usual there are some kit winners to unveil
 
Transcend Goggle by Zeal Optics, winner of the Ispo Boardsports Accessories Award 2010

Every year Ispo awards a number of prizes to products that have excelled in their area. Prizes up for grabs include the Ispo Outdoor Award, Ispo European Ski Award, Ispo Boardsports Award and Ispo Eco Responsibility Award, with individual categories such as hardware and textile available under each award.

Full details of the award winning products can be found at www.ispo.com, however our favourites include the Transcend Goggle by Zeal Optics, winner of the Ispo Boardsports Accessories Award and Arc’teryx’s Alpha SV Glove, winner of the Ispo Outdoor Other Award.

We loved the Top-Gun style “Head Mounted Display” system in the Transcend Goggle which allowed riders to call up data, jet pilot style, in front their eyes including GPS location and altitude. The Alpha SV Glove also got our vote for the innovative cut and seam construction fitting the individual pattern of each finger.
