Always wondered this about the pros. Lawrence coming off the track after the last moto and ripping three tear offs? I know those goggles will never get used again. So, why three? Looks cool? Nervous energy? Just want to litter?
This is actually a good question.
I suspect it’s just a small habit type of thing, like when you get in an elevator and press the button 2-3 times in case the first press didn’t work.
I want to say I heard one of the come gators say they stacked 20 tear offs. That sounds like a lot of ear offs to me. I quit racing before they were invented lol. I only ride practice, no racing but use one with the tab cut off to protect my lens and one over that with a tab just in case. Mine get blurry at three lol.
Since he's already over with the mechanics, looks like just taking your goggles off would suffice.

I usually put 3-4 on my goggles and pull them all off at the same time, right after the first corner…also nervous energy..
I've heard that before too. They must have some super special laminates because the ones that I buy can only use about 5 or 6 before I start seeing globbety gook.
The ones I have for my old Fox Main goggles are not laminated and they get blurry with more than 2. I have another pair of Fox googles with a tinted lens and seems like I bought laminated but haven’t put on more than two. I’m not buying the 20 tear offs I heard the commentator said or what I thought he said. I do know Jett tore off 3 or 4 and used that many on the track. He must be better that what I’m using.
You guys are aware that a pack of laminated is 7 per laminate and is as clear as one right? 21 laminates is like looking through 3, I do one stack per moto which is 7 tear offs
I don’t know, never used laminated. I claim old age.

Factory guys coming off the track with spare tear offs
This was me too. Put a stack on and then first pull too close and all come off at the same time. I was sponsored by Scott and had those lenses with the raised lip that allowed you to stack more tear off's... I think it was the "Quick Load" system. They were quick unload too. LMAO!!
Scott and 100% also have perimeter sealed laminates which keeps anything from getting between laminate stacks or between the last stack and the lens.
