Title: Dust in Eyes Problem
Post by: PEZBerq on July 08, 2016, 08:43:48 pm
I am getting peed off with getting dust in my eyes every Moto. It is beyond a joke.

I run a new Arai helmet (which has a smallish Google opening) and use 100% goggles. I have also tried Scott goggles with the same issue. It also happened with my previous Thor helmet with larger goggle opening.

Apart from riding quicker and not getting roosted and dusted ???? what do people recommend for a goggle that seals well? I may simply have a weird shaped face. Think it gets in near the nose check area.

Any other tricks of the trade that might help?

Cheers

It might sound a bit odd but a thick  smear of vegemite on the foam of the goggles should seal it up real good  ;)

I have a pair of Scott goggles that are adjustable in the nose area, might help if you haven't already tried them

Lozza isnt far off. vaseline likes dust to stick to it. id be checking the foam on your goggles and how they sit on your face. for air to get in air needs to be displaced so you must have two gaps.

Use a goggle with an "out rigger" style strap system. They sit in the google opening better. Most brands make them.

Obviously this solution would also require you to wire a bugzapper onto your bike.

I had a similar problem,  and if I had the strap too tight it would put too much tension on the googles thus pulling them off you face ... ie goggles sides did not sit proud but a little recessed

The beauty of this idea is that you always have a trail snack if you get peckish.....................
