脗聽
I’ve had a chance to use the GOX on脗聽two脗聽races – Sea Otter and Woodward West.脗聽 The lens provided unsurpassed clarity as I raced through the dusty conditions.脗聽 The anti-fog coated lens worked really well during my eary morning practice runs脗聽at Sea Otter.脗聽 The fit of the GOX was脗聽well balanced accross my face and the pressure was evenly distributed. It stayed in place at all times with no slipping.

I like the reflective lens, makes you look more legit than you already are.
Is it just me or Joe looks ‘big’ (with the pads and whatnot) and his Intense looks bit ‘small’ for him?
BTW, what shoes were you guys wearing at WW and Fontucky?
Joe’s just buff…that’s why everything looks small.
I wear 5.10 hitops, they have a super sticky sole that allows me to ride platforms and they are also very comfortable and they do a hell of a job at protecting your toes and ankles.
Great! Moe I assume you’re rocking the Impact 2? Or is it the Rennie? Are they too hot to wear for XC-type riding? for DH I am sure the full leather is a necessity for protection but its a bit overkill for XC and trail use.
Yeah, I ride with the high Impact 2s. Since you can’t add cleats to the shoes, I’ve never used them for xc/trail riding. I imagine that yes, they are a little overkill for such use.
I do love that reflective lens…looks really cool.
