October 15, 20178 yr Hi all, I'm looking to pick up some road legal goggles for trials/enduro helmets? Im sitting my bike test in a week and my instructor told me mine weren't road legal and wouldn't be allowed to use them in the test. what goggles to people use for trials/enduros that involve some road work? Like the Scottish 6 day? Thanks in advance.
October 16, 20178 yr First result in Google: "If you ride with a visor or goggles they must either: meet a British Standard and display a BSI Kitemark, or meet a European standard offering at least the same safety and protection as the British Standard and carry a mark equivalent to the BSI Kitemark ( UNECE Regulation 22.05)" If you buy some from a reputable bike gear shop they should be up to spec, for road riding you can get sealed sunglasses to look cool with I have an 'adventure style' road legal full face helmet for when I'm on the road, I'd rather put up with slightly less visibility* off road than take the risk of loosing my chin on the road (17% of head injuries occur to the chin / front of face in road accidents). *hardly any loss of visibility, has a visor and flip-down sunshield, and can take MX goggles, which is all handy for longer jaunts
October 16, 20178 yr Can't remember when I last saw legal goggles in a shop. Just don't wear any? For the speed/distance involved you should survive. Or wear sunspecs, to which the rules do not apply. Not sure if this would be the case with safety specs.
