Hi Chaps,

I've spent the last couple of weeks trying on helmets with my Jawbones / clear lenses, and am failing to find anything that provides enough back of head protection, and doesn't cause issues with the arms of the glasses.

The only lid I've tried that fits the bill is my Urge Enduro-Matic - but the fit isn't great.

So, my last resort is to goggles now - this is for riding DH and enduro trails in the tweed.

I'm down this route as every ride I end up with mud in both eyes, ad picking it out for the next two days afterwards.

What does everyone else run with a half shell?

Cheers

Ricks

Oakley O Frame. Fairly cheap and aren't too big, so don't push the lid up.

I'd ask Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo what they use 😉

Oakley, Fox, Dragon, Electric, Spy, etc, etc all have cheap models and work pretty much the same as each other

Cheers everyone, I was expecting three things:

1. Turtles in a half-shell, Turtle Power!
2. They're all the same
3. I hate Enduro

Bing!

I modified (cut in half) the pad in the back of the Urge to make it fit better.
