INMO GO3 AI Glasses
The INMO GO3 fundamentally reinvents glasses by putting a translator, teleprompter, navigator, and AI assistant directly in your line of sight. Designed for work and travel, the lightweight AI glasses translate dialogue, calls, and photos with output across 98 languages, including the ability to store up to nine languages for offline use. A binocular MicroLED display with 640 x 480 resolution and a 30-degree field of view projects translations, directions, and prompts without constantly reaching for your phone. AI-powered meeting transcriptions and translations extend their usefulness from foreign streets to the conference room, while a teleprompter keeps talking points within view during presentations. Despite the tech heavy loadout, the GO3 weighs approximately 58 grams with slim 8mm temples, while swappable 270mAh batteries help keep it running beyond a single charge.

Moving higher, the Daystorm Horizon GTX combines full-grain leather, GORE-TEX® waterproofing, and a rugged Vibram® lug outsole for everything from wet city streets to the trail. At the top of the lineup, the Caribou Horizon GTX modernizes SOREL's winter icon with 200 grams of insulation, seam-sealed leather, a GORE-TEX® membrane, and Caribou-inspired Vibram traction for snow, slush, and cold-weather exploration.
