Goggle Roll Offs vs Tear-Offs While Racing

Roll-Offs Work Better When the Weather Is Bad

When it’s raining, or the mud is flying more than usual, Roll-offs might be your best bet.   The rider is limited to how many tear-offs he or she can place on their goggles.   Modern tear-offs can be stacked laminations allowing the rider to have more tear-offs, but as the stack gets thicker, the vision quality goes down dramatically.

Since Roll-off systems allow for more “vision clearings” they are preferred in the muddiest of conditions.
