Been out on the bike today secret offpiste goodness saw no one bar 2 people in the distance who had normal helmets and goggles. Not seen this in years is it a thing still or out of fashion like enduro racing? Used to do it a few years ago but now have some bike old glasses that are dead easy to stash on the back of the hemet and feel less sweaty than goggles.

I did don that particular combo once last winter, but to fair to me it was snowing horizontally…

Almost two years ago - but tbf, it's a convertible helmet and I did have the chin bar on later

I can't pedal uphill with goggles on me or my helmet as they just steam up.

There's a few folk out on my local enduro trails with goggles on, while riding e bikes.

Not saying they aren't working hard.....

Use Thor goggs with my Fox Speedframe helmet when I go to BPW, but glasses rest of the time.

I will do the goggle and trail lid if my in a which and plummet ride like golfie or the apls. I prefer the extra coverage and no chance of getting crud in my eye. I have to take them off for the climbing though as it’s too sweaty to pedal in them.
