Local Brothers Stick Together in Business & on the Slopes with REKKIE Smart Snow Goggles

The Pease brothers like to stick together—at work, at play and especially on the slopes. David, Henry and Fletcher Pease, three Cincinnati guys that like to ski, have developed a practical and affordable product to help friends and family find one another on the mountain—REKKIE Smart Snow Goggles.

Named after a British military slang term for reconnaissance, REKKIE helps you keep track of each other, while also keeping track of time, speed, direction, elevation, distance from friends, tunes and incoming messages. Coming soon: turn-by-turn navigation. The goggles are as user-friendly as they are high-tech, both lightweight and durable, completely premium but affordable. They are the perfect holiday gift for skiers.

Users navigate REKKIE’s Heads-Up Display with the simple turn of their head and press of a glove-friendly button. No more taking off your gloves to dig your phone out of your pocket. Instead of wasting time searching for one another, one quick look at the REKKIE dashboard helps you make real-time directional decisions and enjoy more time together.

The brothers’ direct-to-consumer company is a full family effort. They know each other well and their variety of skillsets and respect for one another’s disciplines make for an effective team.

“Fletcher does finance. I do project management and the website and Henry does hardware,” David explains. Their fourth partner, Anderson Vankayala, is a friend that rounds out the team with an expertise in software.

“It's really hard to start a business and we couldn't imagine doing it anywhere other than Cincinnati,” says David.

Shop local this holiday season to support the entrepreneurial Pease brothers. REKKIE is a gift for the whole family, giving you more time with your loved ones as you ski.
