Downhill and enduro MTB masks

Downhill and Enduro

In downhill and enduro, a full-face helmet comes with a goggles, which protects the eyes from dust, mud, branches and flying stones, better than glasses. Its soft frame fits the face and sits inside the helmet opening, while its wide strap goes over the shell. It stays in place, even on the roughest trails.

Other protections

Bicycle protections also include:

• Glasses.
• Full-faces.
• Knee pads.
• Elbow pads.
• Shin guards.
• Accessories.

All protections can be found on the protections page.

Tint and ventilation

Under the trees, where the light changes constantly, the clear or slightly tinted lens is the most versatile. The mirror lens is reserved for sunny trails and open bike parks. The anti-fog treatment is essential, as the effort uphill warms the face. A multilayer foam absorbs sweat, and vents on the frame release moisture.

Against the mud

In wet weather, mud thrown up by the front wheel settles on the lens. Tear-offs, removable clear films, can be pulled off one by one during the descent. The roll-off system advances a film with a simple movement. Check the compatibility of the frame with your full-face helmet, and clean the lens with lukewarm water and a microfibre cloth, without rubbing the inside surface.

Frequently asked questions

Goggles or glasses for mountain biking?

Glasses are enough for cross-country and trail riding. With a full-face helmet, in downhill and serious enduro, the goggles offer better protection against splashes, dust, and branches, and stay in place on rough sections.

How to prevent fogging in mountain bike goggles?

Choose a lens with an anti-fog treatment and well-ventilated foam, and avoid wiping the inside, as this damages the treatment. When stationary or in a long climb, lift the goggles on the helmet to let the moisture escape.

What lens tint to choose for riding in the forest?

In wooded areas, a clear or slightly tinted lens keeps ground details visible despite the contrast of shadow and light. A smoked or mirrored lens is reserved for very sunny bike parks and open trails.

Are mountain bike goggles compatible with all full-face helmets?

Not always: the frame must fit into the helmet opening without leaving a gap at the top or pressing on the nose. So, try the goggles with your own helmet, with the strap passed over the shell.

How to clean a lens after a muddy outing?

First rinse off the dirt with clear water, without rubbing, then dry the outside by dabbing with a microfibre cloth. Let the inside air dry, as rubbing the anti-fog treatment damages it.
