LeattMen's Gloves

Was on my 3rd pair of 100% Strata 2 goggles, used mostly at bike parks, but they would scratch so unbelievably easy I figured I'd try something else. I'm probably a tough critic, but man ... On a 5 day trip to Killington Bike Park I haven't even had to wipe them down once. They're light and fit very comfortably with my TLD full face. I don't wear glasses so can't speak to that, but the clarity was what most impressed me. I didn't realize how bad the Stratas were til I got these. Figured for only $35 they're pretty much disposable, but I couldn't even get through half a day before they'd scratch and smudge. So glad I gave these a shot, my first Leatt product and I'm impressed. They look sick, the tint and clarity are phenomenal, and while I wouldn't call them premium, they're constructed quite well and are MUCH higher quality than anything else at this price point (I paid $45). Overall I'm extremely pleased and strongly recommend!

Sadly, there appears to be no reviews of the base model Leatt Velocity 4.5 goggle. I purchased these from Amzon Prime for $49 delivered. I needed them for a trip to Spider Mountain in Burnet, TX. For $49 with the upgraded Iriz lens, I was very happy. If you don't care for the Iriz lens, they are only $39. I was very impressed with the optics and the wide field of view that is free of distortion. A key difference between the Velocity 4.5 and the 5.5 model is the absence of the outrigger system, the 5mm narrower strap which measures 40mm and only dual density foam and not three density foam. I had no issues with the goggles on my Troy Lee Designs Stages full face helmet. I did not experience any slipping and felt the despite the lack of an outrigger system, the goggle stayed secured against my face. While it was only 76-80*Fs (24-27*C), the anti-fog treatment worked well. When the day and my efforts heated up, a quick and temporary adjustment to my head angle moved more air to the top foam which cleared any moisture in the goggle. The frame is very sturdy and confidence inspiring. I would reference the Loam Wolf's April 2020 goggle shoutout. The Velocity 5.5 was their value pick and they note the 5.5's feature rich offering and solid performance versus more expensive goggles in the shoutout. Mentioned above, the difference between the 5.5 vs 4.5 is $30 more expensive for outriggers and 5mm wider strap. Those are the only differences in features. Full face mountain bike helmets like the TLD Stages, have an ample face opening that doesn't seem to require the benefits of an outrigger system. Your experience may vary. For $50 shipped, I'm very happy with the Velocity 4.5 and expect they will perform well for quite some time. Replacement lens are reasonably priced, varied in color and tint, and easy to swap on the Velocity 4.5s despite not having the easier lens switching of the Velocity 6.5. If you don't require an outrigger system and can live with 40mm of strap width, I think you'd be happy with Velocity 4.5. Also, the foam managed my perspiration fine, but it was not as hot as it can be here in TX. I will update the review if I experience any issues with the dual foam density. If you don't care for the Iriz lens and only need a clear or smoke colored lens, the Velocity 4.5 goggles are only $39. That's a lot of eye protection for not a lot of money. In my opinion, the Velocity 4.5 goggles are easily way better eye protection than what $40 would buys you from any sunglasses brand or model and still a lot more protection than premium full coverage style sunglases like Oakley Sutro, Jawbreaker, or Flight Jacket models. While I liked the Iriz contrast and felt it was more than adequate, it is not up to the level of contrast as the Oakley Prizm lenses. I'm happy with my purchase and was happy to find that I didn't give my goggles any thought while riding downhill trails. I think you want your protective gear to fall into the background of your thoughts so that you can focus on the task at hand, having fun and staying on the bike.

Unfortunately these goggles do not work as over the glasses goggles so I only wore them for one 20 minute (uncomfortable) rid. That being said, the strap is too tight even at the loosest setting, and the lens is not super high quality. Good for the money, but not up to par with the high quality goggles on the market.

Excelente ajuste y confort livianas, muy cómodas no se empañan ni se resbalan en el casco

Love them!
