The eight goggles
1. 100% Racecraft 2
The 100% Racecraft 2 uses an anti-fog coated polycarbonate Lexan lens. A 9-pin system holds the lens in place, and the nose guard comes off. The 45 mm silicone-coated strap is meant to stop the goggles shifting.
The Loam Wolf, a mountain bike site, reviewed 100%’s Racecraft line and was less kind. Its testers said the lenses scratched easily and the anti-fog treatment lagged the others at low speed. They also found the nine-pin lens change fiddly and prone to fingerprints. They liked the fit and the stack of tear-offs in the box. Read that as a styling-first goggle that is not the best on lens care.
2. Oakley Airbrake MX Prizm Seasonal
The Oakley Airbrake MX pairs a Plutonite lens with an F3 anti-fog coating. Switchlock lets you swap lenses quickly. The rigid exoskeleton frame and triple-layer face foam complete the build.
The Loam Wolf called the Oakley Airbrake its pick for performance. It credited the injection-molded Plutonite lens with the best vision of the group, and said Oakley fit well and was easy to re-lens. Oakley also sells an MTB frame with more ventilation to reduce fogging on slow climbs. That is a different frame from the MX one listed here.
3. Fox Racing Main Drive Sluf
The Fox Main Drive Sluf works with Fox’s Variable Lens System, so lens swaps are simple. Triple-layer foam and an anti-fog lens handle comfort and clarity. A 45 mm non-slip silicone strap holds it on. It is aimed at motocross riders.
4. Biltwell Moto 2.0
The Biltwell Moto 2.0 has a clear, impact-resistant, anti-fog polycarbonate lens and triple-layer foam. The strap adjusts. It is one of the more affordable pairs here, and buyers praise its wide view and comfortable fit.
5. Scott Split OTG
The Scott Split OTG is made for riders who wear glasses. The over-the-glasses shape leaves room for frames. It has NoFog lens treatment, 3-layer face foam and a silicone strap. If glasses are the reason you are shopping, start here.
6. Thor Sniper Pro
The Thor Sniper Pro has an anti-fog, anti-scratch lens, triple post tear-offs and triple-layer foam. The 40 mm strap is the narrowest on this list. Buyers like the tear-off system and the durability.
7. Spy Woot Race
The Spy Woot Race pairs an anti-fog, scratch-resistant lens with triple-layer Isotron foam and a silicone-ribbed strap. The frame is flexible, which helps the fit. Buyers praise the clear view and comfort.
8. Leatt Velocity 4.5
The Leatt Velocity 4.5 lists a Wide Vision 170-degree lens, an anti-fog treatment and a wide strap over triple-layer foam. Its product description calls the lens bulletproof. The Loam Wolf reviewed the newer Velocity 5.5 and said that model was designed to pass the Military Ballistic Impact Standard.
Its notes on the 5.5 are useful for the family. The frame has an opening at the bottom so mud and water drain off. The anti-fog treatment is built into the inner lens polymer. Testers said it fit some helmets badly, restricted nose breathing a little compared with Scott and Oakley, and gave less view at the top and bottom of the lens. They still called it a strong all-rounder and a value pick on Leatt’s goggle page.
What a mountain bike roundup found
The Loam Wolf’s goggle roundup covers mountain bike use, but the lens and fit points carry over. It ranked the Oakley Airbrake first and the Scott Prospect as the best value. In its view the Prospect edged the Leatt Velocity on field of view. The Prospect also has a Lens Lock System, articulating outriggers and a three-layer No Sweat foam with a microfiber layer. It ships with a spare clear lens. Testers did not like the green chrome lens on bright days.
The same site tried Scott’s more ventilated Enduro LS and disliked it. The brow vents reduced fogging on slow trails, but they cut the view on steep descents when your head tilts up. Dirt bike and enduro riders who spend time on climbs and descents should weigh that trade-off.
It also tried Melon Optics’ Diablo, a customizable goggle. Testers found the frame thin and the Chrome lens hard to read terrain through, and suggested clear or smoke lenses instead.
If you wear glasses
The Scott Split OTG is the pick above that is made for it. The Loam Wolf also liked the Shred Amazify, which is designed to fit over prescription glasses. Its frame is 100 mm tall and 185 mm wide, and Shred recommends at least a medium helmet. It is the only goggle in that roundup without outriggers, so the strap attaches straight to the frame. Testers rated its optics above 100% and Melon.
What to check before you buy
GogglesNMore’s road and track guide lists four things, and they match the spec table above.
- Impact resistance: polycarbonate lenses are light and take hits from small stones and insects.
- Fog control: look for an anti-fog coating or a vented frame.
- UV and glare: UV protection matters on long sunny rides. The guide also mentions polarized lenses for glare.
- Fit: adjustable straps, cushioned padding and a flexible frame help the goggles stay put.
Add one more check from the mountain bike testers: make sure the goggles sit properly in your helmet. They reported fit problems with some helmets. Our guide on how to fit a motorcycle helmet explains the helmet side of that. If you are still building a kit, the beginner motorcycle gear checklist shows where eye protection sits, and our helmet picks cover the lid you will pair with them.
