About this technology
Overview
Sierracin Corporation has incorporated NASA technology onto their electrically heated ski-goggles that provide fog-free sight where activity demands total vision. Defogging is accomplished by applying heat to prevent moisture condensation; electric heat is supplied by a small battery built into goggles' headband. Heat is spread across lenses by means of invisible coating of electrically conductive metallic film.
