“I live, I die, I live again.”<\/p><\/div>\n
I have, in the past, used those wonderful neck-socks. And they work \u2013 mainly by providing the rocketing insect or tumbling rock a type of mattress to land on, thus dissipating its force on my face.<\/p>\n
But then someone very clever at Scott affixed a ventilated plastic lower-face-shield to a pair of very fine goggles, and my face is no longer a knob-beetle\u2019s trampoline.<\/p>\n
Scott has long made superb off-road gear for men who like to throw their motorcycles at the sky. And its goggs have always been top-notch.<\/p>\n
They are treated to be permanently no-fog, and aided in this by very good ventilation, which extends right across the actual top of the lens. The Trueview double lenses are 100 per cent proofed against UVB and UVA rays, and you can swap them out if you need to.<\/p>\n

“Return my treasures to me!”<\/p><\/div>\n
The two-layer foamy bits are thick, rich and soft. They sit snug on my face and provide good peripheral vision, which is important if you\u2019re using them in traffic. And when you fill the foam with the sweat of fear, it\u2019s wicked away by some kind of sorcery, allowing you to produce even more of it in perfect comfort.<\/p>\n
Four-eyed people cannot wear their glasses underneath the goggs, but that can only add to the thrill of their ride.<\/p>\n
The adjustable silicone strap is gummy on the back so it doesn\u2019t slip off your lid, and I have personally had them on my face at speeds of over 220km\/h without an issue.<\/p>\n

Made in Austria. Which is not a province of China, India or Africa.<\/p><\/div>\n
The inside of the face-shield has a foam pad, and sits very lightly on your face allowing lots of air gets through the eight gills. You can still lick your lips and access your mouth and cheeks for scratching if they itch. When it was cold, I added a face sock underneath and rejoiced in the result.<\/p>\n
I also rejoiced at the fact that I looked a bit like Immortan Joe pursuing his sexy wives across the desert.<\/p>\n
And on no planet is that a bad thing.<\/p>\n
Scott Safari Goggles \u2013 great product.<\/p>\n

It’s best not to ride with them like this. They fall off your head.<\/p><\/div>\n
\u00a0FAQs<\/strong><\/p>\n Do they work in the rain? <\/em>Yes. You can still see through them. They don\u2019t fog up, but if the rain is heavy and you\u2019re belting along, water does seep onto the inside of the lens. No biggie.<\/p>\n Do they work with all open-face helmets?<\/em> I do not own all the open-face helmets available, but they work with Bell, Nolan, Held and some cheap rat-bastard thing I refuse to throw away.<\/p>\n Does the lens scratch?<\/em> All lenses scratch. Depends what you drag across it. Try to get out of the habit of wiping a dirty lens without washing it first.<\/p>\n \u00a0Is there buffeting?<\/em> What? Like from a badly made fairing? No. There is no buffeting. They sit snug on your face and you can go very fast and even turn your head and they just sit there.<\/p>\n Can you talk while they are on?<\/em> Yes. But always make sure you have something interesting to say.<\/p>\n
