Good fit. A fine pair of motorcycle goggles should fit your face nicely. The goggles’ frame should fit your helmet’s eye port and it should stay snug in your head. To test this, you should bring your helmet with you when shopping for goggles. Make sure that the goggles do not slide down your face or pinch your nose when you wear them. Ensure that the foam is thick and feels comfortable against your face. There are some motocross goggles that have some sort of soft towel layer that draws sweat away from your face and prevent your sweat from running down the inside of the goggles’ lens during the heat of the ride.

Does not interfere with your vision. The motocross goggles should not obstruct your peripheral vision. Try it on and look down. The goggles’ top frame should not get in the way when you look down or when you are leaning forward.

Excellent quality. Cost does not necessarily translate to quality. Ask around your dirt biking community for the best type and the most durable brands of goggles around. Don’t listen to hype. Read up as much as you can about motocross goggles. Check for finishing touches. For instance, some goggles feature silicone beading that prevents them from slipping on your helmet.

Has a roll-off or tear-off system. For dirt bike racing, you would need a pair of motocross goggles that have some sort of a roll-off or tear-off system. Goggles with tear-off features work best for motocross racing while goggles that have a roll-off system are best for longer dirt bike racing events like Enduro and cross country racing.
