'Shark Tank' Season 15 viewers disappointed over Mark Cuban's investment in Rekkie’s 'basic' smart ski goggles
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rekkie, an innovative firm specializing in smart snow goggles just made a stir on 'Shark Tank'.
Rekkie, founded by Henry, David, and Fletcher Pease, intends to revolutionize the skiing experience for skiers all over the world.
Following their appearance on 'Shark Tank' Season 15, the entrepreneurs landed a deal with investor Mark Cuban.
Rekkie's smart ski goggles provide more than simply eye protection. They use cutting-edge technology to improve the skiing experience, such as navigational assistance, performance tracking, and real-time data presentation.
This incorporation of technology into a conventional athletic item distinguishes Rekkie in the market. However, viewers of the ABC business show didn't seem to be stoked about the product.
On Reddit, one user wrote, "I don't know if it's the font but the display looks pretty dated. Reminds me of a GPS from 2005."
While another user chimed in, "I'd love to see this integrated into a hiking app."
One also quipped, "So it's Google Glass."
A fourth person noted, "I liked it until I saw the bulky controller on the one side. Also the font on the display makes it look like old tech."
While others said, "This seems pretty basic stuff with all the navigation apps that can show anything."
Customers have had positive experiences with Rekkie from 'Shark Tank'
Rekkie has received favorable feedback from both professional and casual skiers. Customers like the goggles' usefulness, comfort, and improved safety features.
Customer feedback has highlighted the ability to get real-time data without interfering with the skiing experience. The battery life is predicted to be 10 to 15 hours, and an app must be downloaded.
Where to buy Rekkie from 'Shark Tank'?
The main product costs $349 on the company's website. Because of the cost, they just need to sell 2866 copies to make $1 million!
Snow goggles, a long-sleeve performance shirt, hoodies, and a sweatshirt are all available. Their heads-up display technology patent is still pending.
