LOS ANGELES, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Outdoor Innovation, the industry’s most robust recognition platform for the innovators and leaders of the Outdoor and Sports Recreation Industry, today announced that PROVUU, makers of outdoor wearable technology, has garnered “Snow Product of the Year” for its XR Goggles in the 3rd Annual Outdoor Innovation Awards Program. PROVUU is the world’s first XR snow Goggle that offers enhanced visibility in all weather conditions. The company’s patented VIEW-XR technology offers a real-time image processing engine that increases terrain contrast by up to 75% and allows users to see up to 5x further, even in a whiteout. PROVUU XR Goggles allow users to "see through" the weather and clearly identify the hidden contours of a mountain. PROVUU's enhanced visibility supports skiers with reduced contrast sensitivity or age-related vision changes, extending their "skiing life" and making the mountain more accessible for those who would otherwise be sidelined by challenging conditions. The goggles come with an easy to use button switch that turns VIEW-XR off for clearer moments, or turns on enhanced visibility whenever needed. Users can also record video clips and share the action. The Goggles are lightweight with less than 100g additional weight compared to standard goggles. The detachable handheld unit with rechargeable battery is easily stored in a pocket, and the battery and electronics are protected from damage and extreme temperatures. “PROVUU’s XR Goggle solves the visibility gap in winter sports. The odds of injury in winter sports are three times higher during poor visibility. The danger comes from the environment itself - flat light, fog, and white-out conditions force even the most experienced athletes off the mountain. Traditional optics that rely on passive tints to manage light can’t solve this problem,” said Travis Grant, Managing Director, Mindful Awards. “By integrating computer
