When you get into riding ATVs, you will hear a lot about safety. You already know about wearing your helmet and gloves and protecting your arms and legs when you ride your ATV. But a lot of people overlook the importance of goggles.
Many people don't wear goggles with their ATV helmets because they have a pull-down visor on their helmet. And a lot of people think a full-face helmet can take the place of goggles, they have obviously never experienced the sheer joy of trying to remove a splinter of wood from someone's eye who thought the very same thing. For the cost of a trip to an emergency room to remove debris from your eye, you could have bought many pairs of goggles (and have possibly damaged your eyesight which you can't put a price on).
Many people state goggles aren't comfortable, expecting them to feel roughly like glasses or sunglasses. Goggles for ATV riding fit tightly. It's so that they don't slip and interfere with your vision. When you're riding your ATV, you want your goggles to stay exactly where you put them on your face. They should have a snug fit. You don't want to be driving over your favorite hill and have your goggles suddenly hanging around your neck or flying off your head.
Goggles used to fog up and interfere with vision when riding your ATV, this put a lot of people off wearing them and this was a common and valid complaint. Nowadays, there are anti-fog sprays and even handy foil wrapped wipes you can use on your goggles that stop the fogging up completely. Goggles are an important part of making your ATV riding experience as safe as possible and with the strides made in their design, protection your eyes when you ride your ATV is easier than ever.
