2019 Goggle Round-Up

With so many options available for the goggle-wearing rider, let’s take a look at what’s out there. Here’s a brief overview of various brands and models, their features, and price ranges.

Fly Racing

• Focus

The Focus goggle from Fly Racing may be the most cost-effective eye protection for the price-conscious rider. While it’s certainly a basic no-frills model, it does the job very well while coming in at less than half the price of the next level up the goggle food chain. The Focus is the go-to choice for bikers on a budget. MSRP: $21.95

• Zone Pro

The Zone Pro is the higher end of the Fly goggle spectrum. Its outrigger design, being tear-off ready, with mirroredanti-fog/scratch-resistant lenses are qualities that justify the price.A spare clear lens is included, which is a nice touch. MSRP: $59.95−$64.95 FlyRacing.com

Klim

• Viper

 

The Viper is Klim’s more affordable goggle choice. But it’s no slouch with features like triple-layer comfort foam, sweat control, and their FOV frame geometry which provide a wide and optically excellent field of view. MSRP: $49.99−$69.99

 

 

 

• Viper Pro

Moving to the Viper Pro gets a rider tear-offs, removable nose guard, mirror lenses, and outriggers for an even more comfortable fit than the regular Viper. MSRP: $89.99−$109.99 Klim.com

Flow Vision

• Rythem

Flow Vision may not have many goggle designs, but the Rythem is a serious product.It comes stock with triple-thick mirrored lenses, and triple foam with a relaxed nose fit for all day comfort. Dollar for dollar, these goggles offer a lot of bang for the bucks. MSRP: $56 FlowVisionCo.com

Ariete

• Adrenaline Profi

Ariete touts their ventilation design and we agree, it is excellent. The Ariete lenses are outstanding, too. MSRP:$64.95

• Mudmax

The Mudmax is another well-vented design of Ariete. This model comes stock with a mirrored lens and an additional clear Lexan lens. MSRP: $69.95 Ariete.com

Leatt

• Velocity 6.5

While we’re not going to test the “bulletproof” assertion on their box, the Leatt’s are by far the thickest and strongest we examined in this lineup. They boast an impressive ballistic rating for their lenses. They also feature an extremely easy quick release for lens changes, wide field of view, and the relaxed foam in the nose area make these an excellent overall choice, and this writer/rider’s personal favorite. MSRP: $79.99 and $99.99 with roll off. Leatt.com
