Who uses what? Any to stay away from? and similarly any that are really worth buying?

Any responses will be appreciated, my budget is up to £35

I use Spy ones, I've a couple of pairs of Magneto's and they've been great. Don't tend to mist up, pretty comfy and not a bad price ... crc had 'em at the right money not long ago.

thanks,

Looking through my race photos a lot of people seem to be using Spy goggles, is this just due to how cheap they are?

go and try some different ones on in an MX shop, take your helmet too.

I chose Spy they seemed more comfy than other I tried.

Slightly over budget but Electric are the way to go! Awesome shaped frame which sits snigh inside and full face I have used.

Cheap lenses are readily available. Have you seen how much a spy lense costs??

Check the Electric jazz.. There mint!

O frames are nice and comfy Ive not used any other goggles so cant compare them but I have no need as the Oakley's are so good and have loads of different (easy to change) lenses available.

I found my spy's steamed up a lot in the wet. Got some oakley crowbars which seem better.

spy windham replica. or any of the mx replicas. harder foam stops them steaming up and improves fit/breathing. on offer at crc when i got mine.

man i love goggles.

Spy Magneto's and Blur B1's are both very good and cheap on CRC. I have used both and they are highly recommended! Maybe the Magneto's are just slightly better due to their venting.

these are the mx ones i meant. stiffer foam and a gap at the top for a wierd maxi pad thing. but you can leave it out and they still fit/breathe fine.

Spy here.

I tend to buy some when I spot a deal. Lenses were on offer not long ago - £3 for a replacement so I bought a load.

Always handy to have a couple, just in case 🙂
