What it does
Low profile riding goggles from Bobster with a foam lined black frame, sold as separate clear lens (BA001C) and amber lens versions.
- Open cell foam around the frame to absorb sweat and seal out wind
- Vents in the frame to cut down on fogging
- Low profile shape that fits under a helmet
- Prescription lens versions are offered through RX Safety
A low cost pair of riding goggles for open face and half helmet riders who want wind and debris protection, with clear for night and amber for low light. The trade-offs are reports of lenses scratching and fit that varies from head to head, and each pair has a fixed lens rather than a swappable one.
