Spy’s ‘Happy Lens’ technology is designed to enhance contrast and make colours more vivid by letting in more long-wave blue light. They reckon this also promotes serotonin release, making you feel happier. We can’t say we noticed any improvement in our mood, but the lens definitely helps to give trail obstacles better definition, apart from in dark woods, where we found the silver mirror tint a hindrance. Thankfully, a clear lens is included for these situations. With its deep dual-density foam and sweat-absorbing fleece, the Klutch frame is super-comfy on your face. It’s quite narrow, so the field of vision isn’t the widest, but once you get riding you soon forget about this. Full-face helmet compatibility is pretty good but, with no outriggers holding the strap, these goggles don’t sit on the face quite as well as some. The lack of outriggers does mean they look better with open-face helmets than some other options, although the fairly chunky frame can clash a bit with deep-fitting enduro lids. We love the orange frame and ‘Realtree’ strap combo, and Spy have loads more cool designs in their catalogue too. The Klutch goggles aren’t cheap though.

LOWS
- Chunky frame obstructs vision slightly
- We’d expect strap outriggers at this price
Rad-looking goggles, but the chunky frame reduces the field of vision and can limit helmet compatibility
