Which goggles for new Shoei helmet?

Post by HrcRacing »

I have a new Shoei helmet that my brother bought me but I'm having problems with the goggles being crammed in the opening and pushing on my nose.

The old Scott 89's, which I love, are impossible. The Scott High Voltage is better but still cramped for space and still pushing on my nose.

Any suggestions on a good low-profile goggle?

Thank you. :D

Have you ever tried not wearing goggles? I don't. Unless the conditions are on the rediculous side of dusty or muddy I wear glasses. I use eye pro from ICE, Willey X or Oakley...pretty much whatever I can get from work. I can't stand to wear goggles anymore. You stay so much cooler with glasses using goggles makes me feel as though I'm suffocating in a garbage bag. I've used a clear and shaded pair of these lenses for so long I haven't taken my Spy goggles out of the box in two years...

They've got a respectable ballistic rating so I'd be willing to bet they offer more impact protection than do most goggles. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that if you eat alot of roost these would be a big mistake. I have on rare occasion had a piece of dirt bounce off my cheek and go up behind the lens. Again, they even work well for all but the dustiest conditions.

You 'da man Mike! :clink: Just let me know what I owe you bro.

Mick, I never even thought about glasses. Pretty sandy where I ride (PaxTrax and Bostwick). :wink:
