Motocross Goggles - The Right Ones For You



Buying a new pair of motocross goggles is a relatively straight forward process. There's not a whole lot that can go wrong, but there are a few things to look out for that can add to your riding comfort.

For instance, if your goggles don't seal properly around your face and helmet, you can end up with so much dust and dirt around your eyes you'll resemble a raccoon that's just peeled a bag of onions - not a good look. And it certainly won't help your riding out in any way.

Most goggles come with removable lenses. This allows you to replace old, scratched lenses for new ones rather than buying the whole package again. This also means you can use different shades or tints depending on the weather for that particular day. Some of those glary, summer afternoons can really sting the ol' eye balls, and can have you squinting harder than Grandpa Joe trying to pass a sight test for his license renewal!

One of the biggest problems with any kind of dirt bike goggles or eyewear is fogging. Wrap your face up in some goggles... combine your elevated body heat with a cooler temperature outside... and bingo! You’ll be able to see as far as a possum caught in headlights.

Fortunately some clever sods have designed a thing called anti-fog lenses. These are usually supported by an efficient air flow system that allow the goggles to ‘breathe’, preventing any signs of a hazy lens.

If you are into your motocross or other types of dirt bike racing, you will definitely want to consider having a pair of goggles that are set up with a good tear-off system. This is where a clear film is held firmly across the width of the lens. When you can hardly see through all the mud that the bikes in front of you have spat on your face, you simply grab the tag on the tear-off and pull it off. This slides a fresh, clean film strip over the lens, allowing you to see clearly again.

Here are some features you can expect to find on a good pair of motocross goggles:

  • Double density foam - for a snug fit and added comfort.
  • Silicon beaded strap to keep the goggles from slipping off your helmet.
  • Anti-fog, UV resistant, and semi scratch resistant lenses.
  • Easy grab tear-offs.
  • Mirror lenses



Once again, you can shop for all of your favorite brands on the internet where you can pick up some really low priced gear.

Good luck!
