Guest Omega Man Posted December 6, 2013 Share Well that settles the matter. Motion denied.It still seems like an unsolved engineering problem to me.Ja agree. Don't stress tho. Someone is going to come up with something that works and looks cool very soon. The market is too big to be ignored. All it would really take is a few more vents in existing DH lids. My Airoh is close I think. It's got HUGE vents which can be closed if it rains and the chin piece foam is removable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowta Posted December 6, 2013 Share I somehow thought this wasn't going to go down well with the purists! AFAIK the MET Parachute had a problem with the chin guard breaking off and possibly causing more problems than they stop. This one might be the same. It all depends on how strong the actual join is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted December 6, 2013 Share are there any goggles that will allow me to wear my spectacles in them, or have the lenses changed to prescriptions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted December 6, 2013 Share are there any goggles that will allow me to wear my spectacles in them, or have the lenses changed to prescriptions? Depending on the frame of your glasses, I have found that most goggles can be worn over them. As for optical inserts, the Adidas iD2s come with that option, but they're not cheap (about R1800 without inserts). Honestly though... contact lenses. If your eyes are able to handle them, get contacts. Way better than wearing any form of prescription glasses the trail. Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
