Goggles

[LittleE]

I was just wondering if I am the only person who absolutely hates goggles. I mean I just can't ride for crap with them on. Everything just feels wrong. :ahhh: I have a set of progrips...Does anyone have suggestions as to if better goggles would help or do I just need to make myself get used to them? Thanks in advance.

I had a set of progrip goggles too and hated them. I stick with the traditional Scott 89 series. They have a better periphial view.

Try riding behind a friend with a lot of roost, and u will start loving your goggles. I use spy targa goggles and they are great, but i dont think you problem is bad goggles. Its all in your head.

I use Spy alloy, as does my boy. I don't particularly like wearing goggles, but it sure beats trying to get crap out of my eyes.

Get a quick strap too. It is a google strap that hook to your helmet on one side and velcros on the other. You can tear the goggles off real easy when you stop and put them back on with one hand even while riding.

I recently bought a set of Progrip LS (light sensitive) goggles because I wanted to see if the lense really changes colors fast enough to be of any use in woods riding. I don't think much of the light sensitive lenses, but I love the fit. I have used Scott's for years and the Progrip's fit much better. Any goggles limit your side vision, but it is foolish to ride without them.

Dick Burleson (many time USA enduro champ & ISDT hero) rode with some sort of safety glasses. I tried it but my eyes watered too much.

Yea - On the new AMA track 15 minutes from here, the dirt is perfect . . . Unfortunately, that means that even with a full face helmet and Scott 89s, I still catch roost in the nose and mouth - it gets between the helmet and the goggles.

I guess I'm gonna have to get one of those attachments to the bottom of the goggle to cover my nose.

You might check out the Oakley O Frames, I found that they fit real nice, and don't limit my peripheral vision too much, and you can score the nosepice for those days in the rocks for not much, if your helemt has a big eyeport you might try the Smith Fuel series, they're big, wouldn't fit in my M2R.but I'll bet the peripheral is exceptional.

Look at the Simpson GS3 helmet, it is a motocross helmet that has a full face shield instead of goggles.

This might be what your looking for.

I also ride with the ProGrip LS goggles and love them. Lens changes tint very fast for the woods. I would never buy anything else but the LS lens. I mean I can almost picture myself on the podium next to RC; looking down on BlingBling with my LS ProGrips around my neck sipping on a cold Monster- could life get any better NO so go with LS

I have the progrip light sensitives too. I road today and forced my self to where the goggles...by the middle of the ride I was feeling much better with them on...actually I don't really mind them too much at all. I kind of have to get warmed up and comfortable before I put them on though.
