haha, my dad actually has some of those on one of his old bell motos in his helmet case. I remember those from being a little kid when he was riding. I'll try and find a picture of those dorky things.

Those are still very popular offroad. I refuse to use them because they look so goofy. I have a running argument with several of my offroad buddies. I tell them how stupid they look and they call me a mx poser.

Normally the conversation goes something like.."hey, cool goggles, why don't you go ahead and lower your suspension and go totally "old man" on us"...the reply is usually, "where is your flat bill hat and black socks, bro".

They still exist I believe but you can only use them in conjunction with your Maeir cross bar mounted auxiliary fuel supply.

Hahahhah! That sound opening up those when buying candy as a kid was awesome. Used to think I was so bad ass, I'd rip it open just for the hell of it

Posers galore...your too cool for school mentality is going to limit you from experiencing Berkinstocks, Quads in the mud or snow, wrecking the rut on a big bore and Quick Straps...yep they're a pleasure.

that's all I ever used.quick straps. they work great for eyeglass wearers.they limit the pulling of eye glasses when removing goggles.

I used them a few years ago for trail riding. Problem is if your velcro dies when your out, your screwed.

Unless you are talking about the Velcro loosing its strength,then its time to replace.

I think that was 1987. Velcro goggles aside, seat bouncing in that era was new, I agree, dude above is on the gas and a badass Cool

Stopped using them when I lost a brand new pair of goggles w/roll off set up while ridding a enduro, a very costly mistake.
