What is the difference between mtb goggles, snow goggles, and mx goggles? I have snow goggles and I was wondering if it made any difference or if it Is just a marketing thing.
the way the straps are attached to the goggles, make the goggle sit better into the helmet opening and your face.
the straps on mx goggles are usually attached more towards the front of the goggle frame so the goggles sink into the helmet, as snow goggles have the straps more towards the back of the frame.
they also have tear off posts.
as far as lens materials, most use a lexan lens, Oakley now uses a poly-carbonate lens on their new goggles, which has super clear vision, way way more impact resistant and wont shatter.
snow goggles might not fit best into a helmet some times as they are designed more to be worn with just an open face helmet, some might have better field of vision, and tend to be a little more money than MX goggles.
I used to wear some cheap snow goggles too when I started biking, didnt know better, and it worked for me at the time.
just make sure its comfortable and it works well.
my 2 cnts,
that brings me to say now that i have taken out the inner lens i just have one lense inside my goggles without the foam covering up the vents. Do you guys think i can ski with it like that or will it fog up extremely bad and ill have to buy a new lens for $50?
thanks
best anti-fog period!
