Hiya,

As per title really, looking for some new goggles, will be wearing with a Fox Rampage. Budget is around £40 ideally. Anyone got any recommendations, or know any that don't work very well with this helmet? Or are they much of a muchness at this price bracket?

    Oakley O Frames are pretty good, or Fox Main. I have a pair of each and other than the colour they are identical, even take the same lense.

    Sweet, I'll probably just go with what I can find cheapest then! Thanks for the recommendation.

    O Frames aren't bad but Crowbar's are so much better. More comfortable on my face, yours might be different though, bigger field of view and don't fog up so easily. You only need to look at the amount of people using them to realise how well regarded they are although there are plenty of good alternatives out there nowadays from the likes of Smith, Spy and 100% as well as many others.

    Crowbars are very good but double the £40 budget.

    Agreed. Considering I will only be riding DH maybe once a month I think I'll stick within the budget, and look to upgrade if I don't get on with them. I suspect they'll be more than enough for my needs.

    Maybe the snow ones, the MX ones are easy to find under £40, CRC are selling some for under £35 and I got mine, admittedly a few years ago, for £30.

    You're not wrong - good spot.

    Order placed - thanks for your help.

    On the downside, it now appears I'll have to find another piece of equipment to blame my poor DH abilities on.
