Brothers Fletcher, David, and Henry have been skiing together for years. Unfortunately, they often get split up on the slopes, which is exactly why they created their smart snow goggles company, Rekkie.
Their goggles aren’t only smart, but they also feature a transparent ‘heads-up’ display technology. The cool thing about the display is that it projects onto the lens, and appears to float out in front of your forehead.
You simply glance up, and the display appears. This allows the user to find their friends, and also to listen to music, check notifications, and even see which direction they’re heading.
They can also make and receive calls easily, and even see how fast they’re moving, all without having to remove their bulky snow gloves.
However, the display does not block one’s view. In fact, in terms of clarity, anti-fog, and contrast-boosting lenses, they’re using state-of-the-art technology.
For the avid snow sportsman, these goggles are game-changing, especially in terms of staying connected to your group, or multi-tasking as you head down the slopes.
We’ve partnered with six companies to put together a Shark Tank Stocking Stuffer Box that’s worth $100! Here’s everything that’s in the box:
- Sheets Laundry Club Travel Packs x2
- Honey Bee Bars - 12 Pack
- Snactiv Finger Chopsticks
- FryAway Cooking Oil Solidifier
- Pizza Pack
- Nature’s Wild Berry Sampler Pack
At this point in the pitch, the sharks are given goggles to check out, but Lori Greiner shares a concern. She doesn’t understand how if she’s skiing with another person, and they take off in a completely different direction, she would then be able to find them with the goggles.
Fletcher explains that you and your group would join their app, which has location tracking. Although, if you’re skiing somewhere with bad cell service, the goggles also feature long-range radio capability.
In terms of sales at the time of filming, they just launched late last year, and have so far done about $175,000 in sales. All of their sales are direct to consumers, and the product retails for $349.
Manufacturing is a bit pricey because each unit costs $130 to make. That said, they think they can eventually get that down to around $100 per unit.
Further, customer acquisition is around $120, but their average order is around $475.
Daymond John wants to know if they have any competitors. David says not really, and that nobody is doing what they are doing in goggles for action sports.
Barbara Corcoran is concerned about the price compared to other goggles. The brothers replied that good quality, basic snow goggles cost around $300.
Despite this, they ultimately believe that their goggles are the very best on the market, even without the display features.
Daymond asks about patents, but Fletcher says their patent regarding the display is still pending.
Additionally, they are fully self-funded, having invested $200,000 of their own money. They also received a $40,000 grant from a local company.
Lori thinks the brothers are amazing, and the product is great, however, she’s not into cold-weather sports. For this reason, she is out.
Kevin O’Leary offers $300,000 for 20% equity, with distributions of $0.20 for every dollar taken as income.
Barbara would have liked to see a feature on the display that shows precisely which run or lift your friends are on. Because the goggles don’t have this, she’s out.
Mark Cuban offers $300,000 for 15% equity in Rekkie. The brothers counter him for 12.5% equity, adding that they hope to expand their technology to law enforcement and military equipment.
Mark likes their idea and agrees to the deal. The Pease brothers leave with a shark and a deal, but what do you think happened following the show?
