Stew Baylor had a really cool goggle set-up for the last National Enduro.

I think it's a neat idea, but I think I can clean up the design a bit. I think I'm going to play around with it, because it looks like a pair like that might come in handy.

Is there still a lens in there? Does the screen affect vision being that far from the eyes?


Curly could have used a pair.....

It looks a little rough, but if it keeps the flies away...

Seriously the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time.

Hey don't knock it...... In rainy/wet events in the forest, this is one of the better ways to keep eye protection on and still be able to see. Regular goggles & safety glasses are hard to keep clean or free from fogging up. These don't have that problem
I first saw these used last fall at some wet enduros up here.

The only down side is that they still let bits of grit thru and your eyeballs can get kinda dry during an event.

Yeah, I agree. There are some race conditions that you just can't keep a regular pair of goggles or glasses on and see. Beats racing through the woods bare faced.

I have been wanting to try that for awhile. I ride too much without goggles and thought this would be a solution. I was thinking of cutting out the center of the lense and glueing the screen to the edges. I would then install the lense in the normal way. Should be neater than that.

Tear offs and a haber fan do the job, you only have 2 eyes and they need to last a lifetime.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe something along that line. Pull the foam off the vents and drill holes in the lens except over the part that actually covers the eye ball and add screen to the junk out.

Trouble with tearoffs, is that you need a couple hundred of them to get thru a sloppy, rainy forest enduro.

All the guys using these screens up here are pro racers that have tried the tearoff route & find it just doesn't work that well, hence the goggle screens.
A few guys made some out of stainless steel screen that they found somewhere. It's much stronger & tougher than window screen.

I pulled the foam out of a set of goggles, it makes a huge improvement. I used to have to keep some speed in order to prevent fog, now any motion at all does it.
