    I have both. The airbrake is one of the clearest and most comfortable goggles I have ever worn. They also fog up worse than any $20 pair I have ever had. The armega is just as good and fogging has never been an issue. Maybe the mountain bike version is better but I ditched the airbrakes and I'll never get another set.

    Visibility is a pet peeve of mine. Weather it's a car windshield, my driving shades, helmet visor, or goggles.
    Airbrake is, by far, the best goggle I've tried. I have 3 pairs and half a dozen lenses. If you catch them on clearance when a design/color scheme is discontinued, you can get them for as low as $110. The cheapest Prizm lens is $45, which makes a new goggle worth considering. I've snapped one frame when I crushed the goggle with my bike. Because of the rigid lens, it still works fine! And because of the modular design, I've swapped outriggers and foam to the nicer frame. Quick lens release is a game changer for me, as I bring a microfiber cloth with me on rides, and clean my lens 5 or 6 times a day.
    I have 2 Mayhems, as well, with the same Prizm lenses. It's a good, affordable alternative but they run narrower. And I prefer the rigid frame. Lenses for Mayhems are even more expensive. Definitely better buy another goggle than swap glass.
    I also have Leatte 6.5 goggles. They are way too deep. I don't like the feel of the frame being so far away from my face. Though visibility is fine.
    Another goggle I run is the Scott Prospect. It feels like a cheap toy compared to the 3 above. It really solidified my love for the molded, polarized lenses. Looking through lexan is ok for the first 5min on a fresh lens. But it quickly turns into, what feels like, looking through a cellophane produce bag. And God forbid you touch it with your finger. The smudges can only be replaced with permanent swirls.

    I have the Armega's and they are by far the best goggles I have ever used. I do think that the outriggers pull them against my face a little to much but it does keep the dirt off of you. I will always buy 100% from now on. The lenses that I use is great for blocking glare and increasing color, their lenses are also interchangeable with 100%'s cheaper goggles.

    I've had the Airbrakes for years, a few sets for various uses: racing w/roll offs; training w/out rolloffs; MTB version for slow trail riding in winter. Fogging is the only problem with them but there are 2 'tricks' I've learned: 1. The MTB version is great but dust can be an issue; 2. for any version of Airbrake, install a new clear lens each winter. The anti-fog really does work BUT it really does wear out. For $30 (Australian), a new clear lens is cheap and due at 12 months, it solves the fogging problem for all but the slowest-stuck-and-pushing type riding, where the MTB version rules.

      I got my first motocross helmet yesterday for my dual sport, been riding with my street helmet for a while. Found my snowboarding goggles from 2003 and they worked out ok. My first thought was that I prefer a face shield and googles suck. So much wind and noise and it's getting cooler here. I knew the noise would increase but wow. I'll have to get some better goggles and see how it goes.

    I have airbrakes with the prism lens. Absolutely love the vision, fit, and how easy they are change lenses. I also love the option of the lens protector for the lens (basically a phone screen protector in the shape of the lens). However the airbrake is a bit prone to fogging up on colder days for me.

    Airbrake all day something about the Oakley brand just feels so elite on the track. I’m in California so I never had fogging. Also best peripherals on the market to prevent running into another biker going 40 mph when you fold on the track.

  • @MrJeffharper47
    @MrJeffharper47 Рік тому +1

    After using mediocre goggles, I wanted a premium pair. I was dead set on the Oakleys because their Prism tech is incredible. But when I heard of the fogging issues there was no way I could get them.
    I had a cheaper pair of oakleys (bought years ago for something else) and they would fog if I wasn’t moving which aggravated me to no end so I bought a cheap pair of Thor goggles until I was ready to buy something premium.
    I ended up ordering the armega with red Hiper lens. Very excited

    The 100% breathe so much better! I did a back to back test and I can just breathe much better in the Armega compared to the Airbrake. This, price, and the sealed tear offs all are cherries on top compared to the Airbrake. I've also ridden in the Scott Prospect and need to try the Fox's out and see which I like out of all of the top Goggles. So far, the 100% Armega is the best out there!

    I used armegas for the last 4 years, just last weekend I switched to Scott prospects. The Scott goggles are 10 times more comfortable. It’s a little harder to change lenses especially the first time but once you figure it out it’s really easy. The nose piece in the prospect is unmatched. Armegas kind of pinched my nose shut and the prospect is opposite. I have a moto 10 helmet and the armegas barely fit it.

    I have the airbrakes and i love them. The only downside i have about them is that there is a thin film on the inside of the lens that scratches really easily. I noticed it when i tried to clean my lens. I have clear lenses now so im not sure if its only on those but I just bought a new prisma lens and a 2 pack of the lens shields so i can protect both sides. Hopefully this will prevent the inside film from scratching🤙🏽

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  9 місяців тому +1

      Any goggle would do a good job at keeping the dust out. Much better than any pair of sunglasses. They would also be able to adjust to pretty much any adult sized head, so no worries there. If you are looking for something specifically designed for really fine particles there are 'Sand' specific goggles that have a more dense foam around the frame. They won't breath as well and have a higher risk of fogging, but they will do better at keeping more fine dust particles out. 👍🏼

    • @rmatvmc

    Going to share my experience here as well.
    I used the TLD Prizm airbrake and the Armega Hiper.
    The Oakley had a much nicer fit on the face. Very wide as Chase mentioned. Felt nice and flat across the face.
    The 100% goggle, gave me 2 uncomfortable pressure points on the outside of my eyes from the narrow fit also. Which seems to be common even in their lower lines.
    One thing I did not like about the Oakley is the lens. It does bring up the contrast however your tint of everything is very strong. I felt it almost negated the contrast at times (Rose Lens). However, with the 100% the contrast was increased but the colors remained neutral and thoroughly enjoyed that balance the most (blue lens).

      We have ran into the same issue when riding slower and more technical terrain. They do make an MTB version that has more porous foam on top and bottom. It helps prevent fogging a little better.
