Mountain Bike Goggles 2023


Mountain Bike Goggles 2023
deliver everything any rider could need to tackle any line with the clearest vision possible. From cross country trail riding to the downhill MTB park MTB Goggles offer increased protection and coverage than your standard performance sunglass frame for mountain biking.
What Makes A MTB Goggle Differ From Snow Goggles?
Engineers for Mountain Bike Goggles 2023  generally focus on superior ventilation with less frame and more lattice type frame construction that promotes airflow and decreased chances of fogging. MTB Goggle frames are more lightweight, more airflow & in many cases use a single lens vs a double lens.
Ventilation
Most mountain bike goggles put a big concentration on ventilation so riders can ride with a fog free experience.  Promoted airflow is achieved by opening up the frame in a lattice style construction that promotes airflow from all directions, this also reduces weight of frame delivering the lightest frames possible. Less frame with more ventilation!
Single Lens Construction
Mountain Bike Goggles 2023 use more of a single lens construction vs a double lens construction. Reasons for this include reduced weight & ease of use.  Most mountain biking is done in warmer temperate conditions where a single lens will perform, not have internal fogging and combined with strong ventilation will stay fog free. Double lenses on the other hand perform better in snow focused goggles with lower and more variable winter temperatures.
Lens Interchangeability
Mountain Bike Goggles have interchangeable lenses and most brands provide lens options that can be purchased for different light conditions from low light to bright sun performance. At Action Sport Optics we specialize in replacement lenses for MTB Goggles from industry leading brands.
Mountain Bike Goggles & Accessories For Them
Mountain Bike goggles depending on the brand come with many accessories that can enhance the rider experience.
-Roll Off Kits are a system that attaches to a goggle frame and allows the rider to have a clear film system that covers the outer lens that can be advanced as needed to reveal a fresh dirt & mud free path of sight, they include cannisters of clear film that are easily advanced when needed.
-Dust screens are a removeable screen that cover the bigger frame ventilation holes while still allowing airflow effectively reducing the amount of dust or dirt that may be able to get inside. The dust screen is easily attached to frame and just as easily removed when not needed.
-Nose guards are a removeable accessory that attaches to the nose bridge area of the frame effectively protecting your nose and providing UV protection from the sun.
– Tear Off Lenses are a similar system to the roll off kits but different.  With the same purpose of being able to reveal more clear vision instantly when your’re negotiating dirt, mud & dusty conditions.  Goggles with a tear off lens system have posts on the installed lens that can easily attach a “tear off ” lens that can be quickly and easily torn off to reveal a fresh clear lens immediately.

Low Bridge Ski Goggles – What Are They?

Low Bridge Ski Goggles, what are they?  Formerly known as asian fit ski goggles the goggle industry has taken a new & better approach with a more correctly named term of Low Bridge. Low Bridge Goggles are engineered with more foam in the nose area to accommodate those who need an alternative fit style.  Some face shapes have a lower bridged nose & when using a regular ski goggle it can create a gap of air between the nose and the goggle foam when being used. Low Bridge Ski Goggles solve that problem by being engineered with more foam in the nose area to eliminate the gap that regular goggles can create. Low bridge goggles deliver a customized fit to those who need it & eliminate the air gap while delivering a plush & comfortable fit.

Low Bridge example with more foam in nose area of frame:

Regular fit example w less foam in nose area of frame:

At Action Sport Optics we stock the widest variety of Low Bridge Ski Goggles from every major brand including Oakley, Smith, Dragon, Anon & more!
