Adidas Pinner goggles


THE PINNERS CERTAINLY aren't cheap, but they fitted in every full-face helmet we tried them with and the silicone gripper straps on the back of the strap help ensure they stay put, no matter what the weather's doing.

The lens is easy to change, and for a good few rides did an admirable job of staying fog free. Keep cleaning it though and the lens soon starts to deteriorate rapidly, scratching easily and looking a little too well used, too quickly. The Pinners are comfy enough and look good, but that price tag is a tough one to stomach.

PRICE 130$

Scott Stego MIPS helmet

Scott’s top-end aggressive trail helmet is only available with MIPS, as the Swiss brand were early adopters of the system. The EPS extends low at the rear without clashing with the retention system and the strap attachment points are external to the liner, maximising the amount of material around the temples. This is the closest-fitting helmet on test, with very little clearance inside the liner. Despite this, and although the Stego has fewer vents than some other lids here, we never felt too hot-headed. Scott spent time developing the ventilation system using a wind tunnel and it seems to have paid off. The thin pads don’t offer quite as much comfort as some competitors’, and while the short peak is removable, it doesn’t offer any height adjustment. Weight 340g Sizing S, M, L Price $180
