Who doesn't wear goggles? How the heck can you even ride without them?

Reminds me of when I had a 2ft stick about 3/4in wide inbetween my eye and nose. Doc said if it were 2mm over I would have been blind in that eye. :eek2:
Still don't really wear goggles though. even after that.

I can't stand wearing goggles. It makes me feel so.. congested. Like im trapped in my helmet. I can't stand them.

Personal preference I guess.... but I'd rather feel a "little congested" than have a stick/stones/dirt/tree limb in my eyeball.

I always wear goggles and have never had an issue with them nor do i have an issue with people who dont wear them, its just a preference. But i dont really think googles matter all to much with such situations as having something like a stick or whatever go thorugh your eye since the force it needs to penetrate your skin is much greater than needed to go through the goggles.

i think its always good to wear goggles because if you're going fast then suddenly cant see and theres somthing that could make you wreck and you hit it......personally i wear them whenever i can but sometimes when itspuring down rain in the dunes during winter they just get all messed up and i cant see so they come off and i just squint while im ripping haha

I cant ride without them. Bugs, dust, mud, and tree branches hitting you in the face. I dont even take my goggles off my helmet so theyre always on it.

Breathing in the dust from the wheeler in front is bad enough, can't imagine 4wheeling without eye protection.

Try some different brands. When you find some that fit, they won't bother you as much.

Not wearing goggles and running the risk of being blinded for life is as dumb as it gets.
If you lose your eye sight du to your ignorance then I don’t want you collecting disability for your dumb *** mistake.
I see people riding without them all the time. It’s obvious they don’t have a clue what it would be like not having vision.
Go ask someone who has lost there sight because they didn’t wear safety glasses and see what they tell ya!
