Shred Soaza Dirt goggles


THESE GOGGLES FROM SHRED Optics certainly stand out in this bright green ‘Zerozero’ colourway. The lenses are easy to change, offer a more than adequate field of vision and have lugs so tear-offs can be fitted if needed.

There’s sufficient foam padding to make the fit relatively comfortable and secure, but the stiffness of the frame meant the Soaza Dirts didn’t conform to our faces as well as some other goggles. Ventilation is satisfactory – they don’t fog up except on uphill slogs and during sustained periods of rain. The loud styling may not be to everyone’s taste though, and the price tag is rather steep.

Price 99$
