Team descision. they told him he has to run scott goggles I believe this was due to a goggle issue at A1.Pulpmx were talking about this on the last show.

One would think that would have resulted in a Just1 strap on some other brand of goggle.

He had a goggel problem at A1, the team told him ditch Just1, and he did, he may end up changing again, it was in kickstart Glendale I believe.

Not the first time Kawasaki has done this, I believe I remember hearing them make Wil Hahn switch when he had an issue with whatever company he was with. I also think they did it with Grant in 2017, he was wearing Von Zipper and then one week he showed up with Oakley's.

Actually, Josh Grant didn’t switch mid year but he did switch after VZ dropped the majority of their Moto division and weren’t going to pay anymore.

He wasn’t wearing Just1 at Anaheim. He definitely had 2 pairs on.

From how last weekend went, I am wondering if he will end up switching helmets too.

Just think of his head.

Do you really trust a brand like Just 1 to produce a safe helmet? I wouldn’t buy their t shirts let alone a helmet.

Too many good companies making good products to put my trust in an unknown brain bucket.

Most sponsors will defer to a rider's main sponsor. In other words, if Kawasaki requires him to wear a certain goggle, Just 1 won't fight it too much.
As for Joey, he basically has to, as you say, take it on the chin (and hopefully has some kind of goggle compensation built into his Kawi contract instead). That is, unless Just 1 will pay him anyway. (Not likely.)
I'm surprised this wasn't figured out by Anaheim 1.

What is with people and their goddamn obsession with goggles? There are more goggle related threads than James Stewart or Chad Reed. WTF!?

Did you say the same when 6D started making helmets?!

If they adhere to the safety standards whats the issue?

The helmets are probably made by the same Korean manus that a lot of brands use

Probably designed and produced in the same asian factory as ten other better known brands...

Not sure how contracts are written these days but awhile ago there were performance clauses on most products. Though debatable as mentioned no upstart is gonna fight a factory or their time will be

That doesn't mean shit. Who cares where they are produced, it's what is produced that matters.

Just 1 makes no claim to care about helmet safety. 6D had safety as their main selling point/design.

Just 1 has been in the helmet business for a while. Remember Blake Bagget running them a couple of years ago? My understanding is they are just branching out into producing riding gear.
