MTB Glasses Vs Goggles // What Is The Best MTB Eyewear - MTB Glasses - MTB Goggles

What is better MTB glasses or MTB goggles. We all want to stop the wind, dirt and grit getting into out eyes and to protect them from harmful UV rays but what does the best job- MTB glasses or MTB goggles?
Here are my thoughts on this, what do you think?

[@ryanmcdonaldmtbakaselectdi2096]

Goggles for downhill and winter (full face), glasses for enduro and summer imo. The winter fogging is a massive compromise tho, spot on vid mate👌🏽

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

Cheers mate, yeah I suppose goggles being more robust makes sense when it comes to downhill. Thanks for your feedback it’s great to know what other people think.😁🤙

[@struanrobertson1315]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one! Found myself laughing at the funny points so you got that spot on! You did you a good job on this one mate! Well done 👏 👌👌

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

Cheers mate- can’t help shoving in some nonsense every so often. 😁🤙

As I wear glasses anyway, I was thinking of opting for a prescription pear of the chromatic glasses, have never seen prescription goggles but think you can get a prescription insert but not keen on that, food for thought and thanks for sharing Donald! 😎🚵‍♂️🤙

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

Cheers Gary. Yeah I got my glasses from a website called RX Sports and I think you can get prescription glasses on there...don’t know about prescription goggles though. 😁🤙🤙🤙

[@littledevil7473]

Aye I use old military goggles that have an insert for glasses, so you can wear your glasses under the goggles

[@redlancer7263]

Going to do my first Enduro race this summer. I think I'd rather have the Goggles just so they don't fall off and give that extra protection. I can also strap my Goggles to my pack on the climbs. Does that sound reasonable? I have some regular safety glasses for the shorter rides

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

Yeah definitely reasonable mate. I still use my goggles, they are definitely better suited to muddy and windy conditions. Ive never had any issues with the glasses falling off. But I have had issues with mud splatting up between my glasses and cheek hitting my eye. That wouldn’t have happened with goggles. I just find them more convenient for normal trail conditions, once they’re on I just keep them on but with my goggles I only like wearing them when I’m actually riding a trail once I’ve stopped or am climbing I always want to take them off my face. Plus mine fog up quite a bit which I find annoying. It’s just my personal preference, both are good. Good luck with your race mate.👍🤙🤙🤙😁

Goggles in the winter and muddy days rubbing a bit of washing up liquid on the in side clean it off helps with them steaming up

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

Cheers for the tip mate, I’ll try that...I still use the goggles so that’s good to know.👍😁🤙🤙

[@Niberspace]

came here because I can't nose breath with the goggles pushing on my nose, maybe I'll try glasses

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

I know what you mean. Glasses are really good but I do still use my goggles if it's really windy or if it's really muddy as I have had mud get in my eye under the glasses.🤣🤣🤙🤙🤙

[@AaronCurtin]

If you take your goggles off, dangle them on the back of your neck. Don't fog up! And buy some anti fog spray

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

Thanks for the tip mate!👌👍🤙😁

[@Liverpoolarcool]

I wear glasses for trail and goggles for enduro and downhill

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

That seems to be a very popular approach to eyewear mate. Ive been doing that myself, since making this video, it’s been great to listen to people’s advice and take on board their recommendations. Thanks for your advice buddy I appreciate it.👌😁🤙🤙🤙

Thank you! 😁🤙🤙🤙

[@treeman1988]

I wear contact lenses ,so i need to wear googles , or my contacts are blown away fast 😅

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

I never considered what it must be like if you are wearing contact lenses, sounds like goggles are the sensible choice for you mate. It can be scary enough going down trails as it is without suddenly doing it half blind!!!😳🤪🤣🤙🤙🤙

[@treeman1988]

@@muddymongoosemtb9873 I like glasses better and i'm using them while road biking, but in trails it's not working , like You said that suddenly it's all in fog 😅

[@michie2510]

Glasses for me, goggles steam up too much. They also help me see better.

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

I’m the same, I do like my goggles and I’ve used them loads but the fogging up is really frustrating. Think I’m going to stick to the glasses unless it’s really windy. 😁🤙cheers mate😁

[@michie2510]

@@muddymongoosemtb9873 The glasses I use are actually Bolle safety glasses that I bought from Screwfix for 12 quid. They are high impact, scratch proof, have changeable clear and tinted lenses, vented padding around the lenses and a safety band that secures them around your head. They look good too; absolute bargain!!

[@mtbscotlandjameswilson6548]

The fogging issue has always put me off buying goggles. Some of the glasses are crazy prices.

[@muddymongoosemtb9873]

@@mtbscotlandjameswilson6548 you are right mate the prices for effectively pieces of plastic are ridiculous...saying that the photoreactive lenses are really great- just wish they were cheaper. What do you wear if anything?
