What's everyone's favorite and why ? I'm currently using the spy omen googles and I like them pretty good. Cool style and comfort

Oakley Airbrake.

Yes they are pricy but the level of impact protection, quality, fit and comfort are amazing.

Plus it takes literally two seconds to change lenses out.

I race moto and woods. Knowing it will take an act of God to get something, rock, stick, whatever... through the lenses is very comforting.

I'll never go back to a lesser goggle.

I like 100 percent because all the lenses interchange. And with four people riding in the family the more universal parts the better.

They fit good and function as I feel they should. They hold up very good.

Well personally, my favorite google is the original, https://www.google.com/

As for goggles... I don't actually have a favorite.

I have a pair of Airbrakes, and damn, the non-laminated tear offs have to be the thickest things ive ever seen. They also fit so tight on the tear off posts that when I pull a tear-off, the goggles get pulled off of my face. I dont know if the laminated ones do that too but its pretty ridiculous.

But I have 5 pairs of 100% Racecrafts and love them, the nosegaurd is awesome, and they hold up super well.

Bought a few pair of Eks Brand that have seen some hours and I've been pleased.

I have never used the Dragon NFXS goggles, so i can't comment on them.


But all i have to say, go for Oakley Airbrakes. I saw that bto had the older RV colorway for 80 bucks. They are expensive but they are so good that i can't even describe how good they are. And before someone comes on here and tell me how stupid i am for paying 150 bucks for a pair of goggles, try them. You will understand. The Airbrakes are next level, you can't compare them to the normal goggle that has been the same for year and years.

I had 4 pairs of 100% racecraft goggles, then one day a rock penetrated the lens and i immediately sold them and got 3 pair of Airbrakes.

Have experienced the same thing with the tear offs. Pulled one and it moved the goggles during a race, then one ripped next to the hinge so I pulled the tap off, but not the whole tear off.

I prefer the cheap O-frames, but the airbrakes look awesome and apparently have a great level of protection.

I use laminated oakley tearoffs when i race and Rip n Roll tearoffs on practice days, the Rip n Roll tear offs are way thinner than the genuine oakley tear offs!

LOL grib, ok 20 seconds literally.

I don't like the laminated ones. I prefer the singles for the airbrakes... Or the rolls.

My favorite goggles are Dragon NFXS. They are awesome. The lenses are so easy to swap. Takes about 10 seconds. No fingerprints.

Plus the frameless design gives a wider range of view. They are great with the transition lens.

I have a pair for sale in the Bazaar if anyone is interested. Plus many more goggles.

O-frames for 15 years. You can get tear-offs everywhere!

My next goggles will either be Beer Optics because they say beer. Or 100% because all models use the same lense.
