Mountain bike goggles

How to choose your mountain biking goggles?

Essential element in a rider’s gear, MTB googles are similar to skiing goggle in terms of construction. Used for extremes disciplines like DH or Freeride they protect your eyes from the wind, the sun, light rains, mud, dust or any projections. MTB goggles offer an extra wide field of view to be on the lookout for any obstacle while being comfortable thanks to a foam that fits the shape of your face. Different models are available, they are differentiated by the type of lens. The majority are equipped with a clear lens (Category 0) mostly suitable for downhill riding in a shaded environment. If you know for a fact you are going to be in the light during the whole run you can opt for either a category 2 or category 3 lens. A brand such as Oakley offers on MTB goggles its flagship Prizm technology to boost contrasts on trails to a maximum.
