About this book
Motorcycle goggles are sold by the thousands, yet most buyers cannot tell you why one lens is certified to a higher impact standard, or why a frame that fits a racing bike rider will fog up on a slow trail ride. This handbook fixes that. It breaks down the actual engineering of lenses, frames, foams, straps, and ventilation systems, then connects that engineering to real riding conditions: high-speed wind, dust, mud, rain, extreme UV, and temperatures from -20°C to 40°C.
The book walks through the complete decision process. You will learn how to read a manufacturer's specifications and identify which numbers matter and which are marketing noise. You will learn how to match goggle geometry to a rider's face and helmet, how to install a tear-off system, and how to clean a lens without stripping its coating. Troubleshooting chapters cover fogging, scratched lenses, broken straps, and foam degradation, with practical fixes you can do on the trail or at the workbench.
For professionals, the back half of the book is a business guide. It maps the supplier landscape from budget importers to premium European manufacturers, explains what private labeling actually involves, and outlines opportunities in rental fleets, mobile repair, and goggle servicing. A final section on standards bodies, certification schemes, and future materials ensures your knowledge stays current beyond this edition.
Reader Reviews
Margaret Hall
★★★★★I own a moto shop and have sold goggles for ten years without really knowing what I was selling. This book changed that. The chapter on lens materials alone was worth the price because now I can actually explain to a customer why one goggle costs three times another. It is a bit dry in places, and I wish the brand comparison section was longer, but as a reference it is now on my counter.

★★★★★Bought this for my husband who rides enduro, but I ended up reading it cover to cover myself. The troubleshooting section on fogging is genuinely useful, and I love that it gives you a concrete checklist to evaluate a goggle before buying instead of trusting some forum post. Only real complaint is that it's not heavily illustrated, and the photos or diagrams would have helped with the tear-off installation part.

★★★★★As someone who leads adventure tours and maintains a fleet of 15 bikes, the section on rental fleet goggles and foam degradation was exactly what I needed. The book treats goggles as engineering products rather than fashion accessories, and it shows. I've already changed our cleaning procedure based on the lens care chapter. It's not a light read, but it is a smart one. Four stars because I wanted more on future materials.
