Scott Prospect goggles


You’d expect a lot of goggle for just shy of $105, and thankfully that’s what you get with the Prospects. Both tinted and clear lenses are included, and Scott’s ‘Lens Lock System’ mean it’s easy enough to pop and lock whichever lens suits the conditions in a matter of seconds.

The deep strap (we’re talking around 10mm more than most other goggles here) gets two strips of silicone on the inside, which helps to keep it secure around your lid, while the three-layer face foam ensures they’re some of the comfiest goggles around. On the hill, the massive lens offers a wide and deep field of vision with nothing poking into your peripheral view to distract you. Even on warmer days we had little issue with the lens fogging up. After numerous cleaning sessions out on the trails, the clear lens remains scratch free and still polishes up like new once all the mud is removed.

Price $105

SPECIALIZED P.STREET 2

S pecialized’s P.Series bikes have been much loved hardcore/ jump hybrid contenders for years and this 2014 nugget is no exception. If you’re after a really well priced and well sorted complete bike package for jump, street and even better-groomed trail centre action then the P.Street is outstanding. Its rock solid responsiveness and short-stroke fork make it seriously unforgiving on rougher trails though.
