Once you've found the perfect helmet at Raceway for your motocross riding, next you will need to choose good eye protection. Contrary to what you may have been told, a full-face visor on your helmet, although it helps to repel debris, is not protection for your eyes.
Small rocks and debris can be thrown in the air by other vehicle's tires - also called "roosted" - and fly through the air with a high velocity of speed and if they happen to get lodged in your eye, it can damage or even destroy your vision. Even if no damage is done, the impact can cause a momentary lapse in sight that can cause an accident. Goggle design has come a very long way in the past few years to include lighter weight, better sealing and much more comfortable goggles to wear when you're riding.
Always opt for a pair of goggles to insure that your eyes are completely protected from wind, dust, dirt, rain, insects and debris thrown from other riders around you.
Raceway has a good selection of goggles that are made from a good, thick plastic that is shatterproof and keep them as scratch-free as possible. Make sure if you wear eyeglasses or sunglasses that your goggles can accommodate your eyewear. Also, goggles should give you good peripheral vision.
Many riding goggles have facial fitting systems built in now so they create an airtight seal to the rider's face so no dust or debris can get under the seal of the goggle while also allowing ventilation to prevent fogging of the goggles. Always check your goggles before you ride for major scratches and imperfections in the sealing material around the edges, you don't want to get out on the track and discover you have a problem.
