Thrashed: EKS GOX Limited Goggle

EKS GOX Limited Goggle

By now you could say my EKS GOX Limited goggle, from a company I'd never even heard of six months ago, has seen a lot of play and is likely to continue to see a ton more. It's not unusual for me to run ragged a set of goggles after three to five times of hard riding, especially when tackling hard terrains in wet conditions. The interesting thing is the GOX Limited goggle has been with me for about 10 hard rides at this point and shows very little wear and tear. The foam has remained intact, the band has not stretched beyond use, and the reflective lens is not scratched beyond my ability to see clearly through them. In addition, this goggle is probably the best fitting goggle I've used in years as it fits inside my helmet without being blocked from the size of the helmet's cutout.

The GOX Limited line comes with a shatter-resistant, anti-scratch and anti-fog coated lens, which explains why my set does not have any scratches. I've actually experienced some fogging, though it hasn't been overwhelming. The GOX Limited is both lightweight and durable because of the urethane blend frame, which possesses a firm yet pliable feel. While the 100-PPI "reticulated" vent foam allows airflow in and keeps dust out, it also wicks away sweat and moisture. To top it off, the goggle comes with an anti-static smudge-resistant bag for protection and cleaning. I'm now a fan of this new goggle and will probably look to EKS again when my current arsenal starts to show its age. -Thad Josey
