Helmets & Goggles:

I favor my Oakley Goggles and I am really hooked on the yellow inserts. Many times we drive through shaded areas of the forest and the yellow inserts always keeps things bright – but yet not too bright for my old peepers. Inserts can be changed when you prefer a different color and tear offs are a really great item to pack with you for those really dusty days. (For you NEWBIES – the helmet strap goes on the outside of your helmet. Believe me, I tried to do it the other way! Harvey saved me from stupid stupid!) The first time you gear up is an interesting endeavor – at least it was for me. ♥ Nancy

Helmets: The helmet is a MUST have. Wear always when riding. Gals, it is worth the helmet hair afterwords. Your mate is so absorbed in the fun, your wild and flat hair won’t be noticed! Just bring a hat to hide your hair for after the long days ride or don’t sweat the active woman look. I have been caught with flat hair when we decided to stop for a nice Mexican dinner after the ride! (I just hoped nobody I knew would recognize me :-) )

Mayhem Pop Art Goggles Mayhem Pop Art GogglesOakley Mayhem Pop Art Goggles Action sports are controlled mayhem especially the kind that taunt fate at every turn. That rsquo;s why the champions of Motocross and Supercross trust their eyes to Oakley not just for guarding their vision but for a level of performance that keeps victory in focus.

We created rigid O MATTER reg; strap outriggers to distribute pressure evenly and we devised a quick release that makes strap changing fast and easy. MAYHEM comes with a removable nose guard and a pack of seven high-performance Oakley laminated tearoffs.Now let rsquo;s talk optics. We expanded the lens size for an even greater field of view. Every frame comes with two interchangeable lenses Dark Grey and Clear and our F2 anti-fog technology helps keep them from steaming up in the heat of competition. You can also get accessory lenses with IRIDIUM reg; coating to balance light transmission and reduce glare. All lenses are made of durable LEXAN reg; so even our Clear lens blocks all UV.
