PRICE: $34.95

KEY FEATURES:

According to EKS Brand:

The GOX Goggle is a product of over 25 years of eyewear experience. The world-class design of the GOX goggle has all of the necessary features that a high-end goggle requires to keep you seeing your way clear to the finish line.

A lightweight, “urethane blend” frame has a firm yet pliable feel for the ultimate in comfort and protection.

The GOX frame is equipped with the highest quality, Polycarbonate, shatter resistant, anti-scratch and anti-fog coated lens available. It has 100-percent UVA protection and it is the leader in lens attributes and function.

Lenses available in a variety of colors, as well as light sensitive.

Every GOX Flat-Out Series goggle package comes standard with a clear anti-fog coated lens in the box.

Tear off posts are integrated into the Polycarbonate, hard coat lenses for ease of use and function.

100-PPI “reticulated” vent foam allows the ultimate in airflow while keeping the dust and debris out. This special vent foam is designed to allow moisture and condensation to escape freely.

An adjsutable, double buckle woven strap is silicone backed for the ultimate in strap placement and hold.

17mm thick, four-layer face-foam is backed with a moisture wicking fleece lining providing the best anti drip, sweat protection available.

Anti static smudge resistant bag.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- EKS Brand goggles have a very flexible, medium-sized frame that fits a super-wide variety of face shapes and sized

- the GOX Flat Out fits easily inside every single helmet we have tested

- the goggle foam is plush and comfortable, and it absorbs a ton of sweat. Of all our testers, only sweat-king Bayo Olukotun has ever succeeded in sweating a pair out.

- the lenses are very easy to remove and reinstall. There is no special technique required.

- the anti-fog coating on the inside of the lens really works! Some of us ride at night after work and fogging has never been a problem.

- the GOX Flat Out goggle comes with a spare clear lens, and a goggle bag that is great for cleaning the lens.

- the available tear-off systems are excellent. Though we like the laminated set-up the best, the standard tear offs and super-thing standards work equally as well.

- the EKS Brand GOX is easily the most affordable high-end goggle available.

WHAT WE REALLY THINK:

The EKS Brand is the newest player in the goggle market, but the GOX Flat Out series goggles are easily one of our all-time favorites. When it comes to fit, function, and styling, there really isn’t a better value. At $34.95, the GOX Flat Out is a “flat-out” bargain.
