RipClear Moto Goggle Lens Protection Product Review
If you may choose one annoying thing about having your gear ready, what might it be? For me it’s changing goggle lenses; even though some goggle brands (like Oakley and Scott) are easier to change than these, I still never enjoy installing a brand new lens. Well RipClear makes protective lenses for nearly something that needs clear vision, from Go Pro’s, goggles as well as cellphone screen protectors, RipClear has something for everything. They reached over to Keefer Inc. Testing to ascertain if we would be considering trying some goggle lens protectors as well as Keefer has watched me fumble with lenses several times he sent them my way. In the pack of lens protectors there's 2 universal fit goggle protectors, two wet wipes, one micro fiber cloth and 2 dust removal sheets together with step by step instructions. To be 100% honest, my first time installing a protector I messed everything up along to junk one before finding out the whole process and fitment. Seeing as they're universal fit, depending on the goggle, you might want to trim the edges to suit between the tear off posts on your lens (at the very least I did around the Scott Prospects). Once the protector was trimmed I ensured the lens was perfectly clean and carefully installed the “RipClear” following instructions closely.

One thing I noticed was that I had to be careful making sure the perimeters were all the way in which down and to ensure that the bubbles were out from beneath the protector before riding. If there are any bubbles or possibly a lifted edge and you venture out for the ride, it collects debris and makes the high spots noticeable within your field of view, that may be annoying for some riders. If everything is installed correctly you can ever so slightly see the edge of the protector although not enough to become bothersome. The reason RipClear started selling goggle lens protectors is really because no-one likes changing lenses constantly (and it’s expensive). These can make your lenses go longer and are also claimed to generate the lens stronger (although I never tested the theory). After some time while using RipClear protectors I have to appear definitely more scratch resistant (specifically in the Costa Rican mud in which you might have ran away from tear offs, thus forcing said rider to need to wipe the lens with muddy gloves) than your bare goggle lens and I haven’t had to change lenses as frequently. After sunglass lens protection film and abuse they start to peel up around the edges and that’s when it’s time to replace them. You can simply take over old one, clean the lens and install a fresh RipClear. While the outside the lens stays much more scratch resistant, the interior remains to be the standard lens.

I noticed that after being able to use my lens for durations of energy, the interior of the lens really actually starts to take much more of a beating (especially in dusty conditions). If I needed to put lots onto it I would point out that a lens lasts 1.5 to at least one.75 times over lacking a RipClear. So depending on how much a lens costs for your goggle (from $10-$40 nowadays) a couple of RipClear Lens protectors ($20 for any pack of 2) may be worth a purchase for you to get a bit more life away from your lens (plus you won’t be cussing for your goggles or perhaps your wife and changing lenses as frequently). I would say my main gripe concerning the technique is that it’s slightly difficult to get the protector on perfectly and still have no bubbles relating to the lens and protector. As of today RipClear only supplies a universal protector that matches relating to the tear off posts, but after talking with all the company they want to to discharge few goggle specific (for that widely used models) protectors soon, that will have holes for tear off posts and reach further towards side of the lens. The company inform me that so long as there exists a interest in something which requires a protector, they'll be happy to generate it. I think for more hardcore moto riders this isn't always the ideal product because let’s tell the truth, some moto riders are divas about field of vision and may have an overabundance money than your average blue collar off-road rider. I first are derived from an off-road background and I can really see a requirement of making lenses keep going longer, especially when conditions get nasty.
