All of the goggle lenses should be a little difficult to change unless you want them to fall out when a rock hits it.

100% goggles are junk and not easy to change a lens at all compared to some of the other brands. Their best attribute is their ability for sand to pass through the vent foam atop the goggles.

I've got the forecast roll off system for the 100% goggles & it's really hard to install the lens, drives me up the wall.

Well I'll buy that 20 dollar goggle then. 99% of the tracks in Holland are sand so no problems with rocks hitting lenses and stuff.

Maybe it's just my area, but most guys seem to be wearing 100% nowday. I used to see a lot more Oakley and Scott.
Because most know its goggles.

I wear Eks or the plain Oakley Pro Frames for 35 bucks.

I have some old Scott 89s and all work the same.

Those are full-size NFX goggles...aren't they?

Like wrapping an I-Max screen around your face.

My opinion changed very quickly when a rock cracked my 100% Racecraft lens.

I'm happy to pay 100-150 for a pair of goggles that actually are safer than the cheaper alternatives, i can't buy new eyes.
Did it crack or blow through ? I wear 100%. Used to always wear spy. But love the tear off posts on100% and the Vision. Nose protections etc. plus they fit my face perfect.

The only problem with Airbrakes is no nose guard. I use em with a 6D and I have a perpetual scab on my nose now.

Everytime I duck a roost to block with my visor I catch it on my nose.

Other than that I love em

I need a goggle that has 5 mm thicker foam than average to fit in my Fly helmet.
I've been using $30 goggles from 100%, Fly, Smith, and Oakley L frames. Every one of them lets roost in between the foam and my cheeks with the goggles bottomed in the helmet.

Im still using the same pair of Scott 80's i bought in 2009. Lenses are under $20 and a pack of 20 tearoffs are $9. Ive never had a single ounce of problems with these goggles and they have the largest FOV i have put on my face. Raced hundreds of times eating roost like candy in these goggles and have never had a vision problem. I love Scott goggles

I've found a place online that sells the Airbrake with roll offs really cheap. Do they fit Shoei helmets ok?
