Protective Riding Eyewear FAQs

Why are dirt bike riding goggles important?

Not being able to see clearly while riding a dirt bike is an obvious safety hazard. Good quality dirt bike goggles protect your eyes from dust, debris, and the elements so that you can see clearly no matter the weather. When looking for a good pair of goggles, look for anti-fogging ventilation and large lenses to maximize peripheral vision. It’s a good idea to choose your helmet before you buy your goggles to ensure a more secure fit. Read our blog on dirt bike riding gear to learn more about important protective gear.

How do you wear riding goggles?

First and foremost, put on your helmet and secure it in place. Next, place the strap of the riding goggles around the back of your helmet, positioning the goggles into the opening around your eyes. Tighten the strap around the helmet so the goggles are snug and secure, but not too tight. Make sure the goggles are positioned correctly and do not obstruct your vision before you start your ride.

What are enduro goggles?

Enduro riding goggles are a specialized type of protective riding goggles designed for off-road riders who participate in endurance (or long-distance) races and rides. They are built to withstand challenging terrain and conditions and protect the eyes from dirt, debris, and other environmental obstacles. They tend to have a larger field of view, anti-fog coatings, and extra padding for maximum comfort during long rides.

Is there a difference between ski goggles and dirt bike goggles?

Yes, there are several important differences between ski goggles and dirt bike goggles. While ski goggles are designed for cold weather and are built to withstand snow and wind, dirt bike goggles are designed to protect against dust, dirt, and debris. Additionally, dirt bike goggles typically have a wider field of view to accommodate the riding position on a dirt bike.

What should I look for in ATV riding goggles?

While some ATV helmets come with face shields, most have a large face opening to make space for protective goggles. When choosing ATV goggles, look for shatterproof goggles with a foam seal, designed to keep out dust and dirt while allowing for sufficient airflow to minimize fogging. High-impact goggles should have a rating of at least V-8, VESC-8, or Z87.1. You also need to ensure that they fit your helmet. Click here to learn more about ATV riding gear.
