If you’re looking for a good cheap pair of motorcycle riding goggles to get started with or as a backup to your main pair, you are not going to go wrong with the Demeixs Motorcycle Goggles. Like the Oakley above, these are primarily aimed at the off-roading bike and ATV riders among you but we are confident they will be able to provide ample protection when used for other outdoor activities as well.

First and foremost, these look great, right up there with the best looking on this list in our opinion, so if looking the business is a priority for you, these should definitely be checked out. They are actually very comfortable for the price too and will also easily fit a pair of glasses underneath. We found them to be incredibly sturdy too, but then you would expect that from any type of gear that is there to protect you.

Where the real value for money comes into play is when you consider that these offer similar features as goggles that are three or four times their cost. You’ll get lenses that offer complete UV protection and are also scratch, dust, and fog resistant to boot. For the price you are paying that is pretty impressive it has to be said.

Overall quality is not quite there compared to more expensive goggles but these are more than capable of providing you all the protection that you need as you tear up the track.

Many of you will already know that Oakley is one of the biggest names in eye protection both in terms of sunglasses and when it comes to sports such as motocross and skiing. These guys know how to make a top-quality set of goggles which is why the Oakley O-Frame MX Goggles are one of the most expensive on our list of recommendations.

You are not only paying for the brand, however, as Oakley are worn by professional Motocross and supercross riders across the globe simply because they offer the best protection. Don’t believe us, ask Ricky Carmichael, the world’s most successful rider in history as to why he always chose Oakley.

Designed with racers and off riders in mind, the O-Frame are also more than able to be used for everyday riding and even for other sports. These good-looking goggles come in a variety of designs but it is the build quality and the many features that will appeal to most of you.

A flexible-O-Matter frame with three layers of face foam around the rims is there to ensure optimum comfort while the highly durable scratch and impact resistant lenses will allow you to compete in the toughest of races without worry of damage. Anti-fog features will mean that you will not have to worry about your lenses steaming up even in the most humid of conditions and you can even swap out lenses for different conditions.

All in all, if you’re looking for some of the best motorcycle goggles around, especially for off-roading, the Oakley O-Frames just have to be considered.

Why wear your glasses underneath a pair of regular motorcycle goggles when you can just buy some prescription motorcycle goggles like the Bobster Cruiser 2 goggles? Just send your goggles off to Bobster with your prescription details and they will fit your Rx lenses before sending them back to you.

Designed to be an all-rounder, these goggles can be worn whether you are bike trailing off-road, hitting the motocross tracks, or if you are taking to the road. Reasonably priced, the Cruiser 2 by the popular Bobster brand are aviator motorcycle goggles that offer a snug and comfortable fit, offer UV protection and the lenses are shatter-resistant.

What we, and we are confident that you will find appealing is that the lenses can be interchanged very easily. Within less than a minute you can pop out one set of lenses and put in another. Even better is that they even provide you with three different polycarbonate lenses, each suitable to different levels of daylight, as part of the deal. You have clear, amber, and smoked lenses to choose from which means that you’ll be able to enjoy clear visibility and added protection no matter what time of the day or night.

If a wide peripheral view, comfort, and the ability to wear over the top of glasses is something you value over the neon-design thrills of other goggles, the Biltwell Moto 2.0 Goggles are where you should begin your search.

While the design is quite basic, Biltwell offers no apologies for this simply because the Moto 2 have been built to perform rather than to look good. A large eye-port offers a great field of view and space beneath to wear prescription glasses while the polycarbonate anti-fog coated lenses are scratch and impact proof.

These are at the top in terms of cost compared to our other suggestions but it has to be said that once you see and feel the build quality, comfort levels, and the durability that these goggles provide on top of their obvious safety benefits, you will quickly agree that they are worth the extra.

While the vain among you will probably want to look elsewhere, those of us that are not as aesthetically-blessed will be more than happy with the obvious quality that the Moto 2.0 goggles provide. Oh, did we mention that you can easily purchase and fit replacement or additional lenses too? Bargain!

Firstly, do you see what they have done there? Birdz Eyewear? If you are struggling, think frozen foods and you are there. Brand name aside, however, their Eagle goggles are actually very impressive considering their budget price tag.

Designed to look like aviator goggles, these actually look quite stylish too when you factor in the yellow lenses. These are not there purely to look the part though, the yellow lenses have actually been designed specifically to be ideal when driving in low-light conditions such as in the morning. Those lenses are polycarbonate, shatterproof, and offer complete 100% UV protection which is pretty impressive considering the low cost of these goggles.

If you take your off-roading seriously you might want something that offers slightly more in terms of durability but they are certainly an able backup. These are more suited to road riders on their way to work in the morning and on their way back home in the evenings. They are a little small, not really suited to wearing spectacles underneath and are prone to scratching but once again, once we point you to their price, they still represent good value for money.

If you love getting down and dirty…on the off-road race track guys, get your minds on track, then you are going to need some goggles that can help keep the dirt out of your eyes. The 4-FQ motocross goggles will do just that while offering plenty of other advantages too.

What will first impress you with the 4-FQ is how they look, they really do look good and we’re confident that they will go with almost any style of helmet that you have. Made from PU resin, the goggles themselves feel nice and sturdy while also offering plenty of bendability and flexibility to ensure good levels of comfort. We also love the fact that the nose protector is detachable but that might be because most of us here have rather large snouts.

As for the lenses, which as we all know is what separates the great goggles from the good ones, these offer up UV protection and are fog, scratch, and dust resistant. They are also mirrored which just adds to their great looking design and we certainly have no complaints about the level of tinting used as it is perfect for those bright days.

These are advertised primarily as motocross goggles but really they could be used for many extreme sports such as off-roading, snowboarding, or skiing. For the price, they even make a good investment if you are only going to wear them each winter when you need to plow the driveway.

Now with the Scott Recoil Goggles, you either love a bit of pink in your gear, which of course, there is nothing wrong with that in this day and age, or you need some goggles for the girlfriend or wife. Either way, you are getting a pair from a well-trusted brand that is known for developing quality at a great price.

Suitable for use on the motorcycle either when off-roading or on the roads, these goggles offer up good levels peripheral view, protection from UV, and of comfort, even for those of us with oddly shaped heads due to the adjustability that it provides. Fitted with a Lexan lens they are also particularly difficult to scratch and are built to be extremely durable.

While these will not be able to compete with goggles much higher in price, they do offer an excellent option for anyone looking for an entry-level pair or simply some as a backup option. Many have also commented on these motorcycle goggles on Amazon claiming that they work perfectly well when snowmobiling or enjoying other winter activities.

Generally, lower cost goggles are not going to bring much in terms of performance when compared to their older priced peers but this is the second pair we have recommended from 4-FQ and for some very good reasons. While they are fairly cheap, they offer up the sort of protection, comfort, and build quality of products double or even triple their price.

Sure, if you’re a professional motocross rider you are going to go for something a bit more advanced but for the rest of us, these are more than adequate when enjoying a bit of biking action.

Standout features of the G4 are a silicone strap that is non-slip and highly adjustable, a tight fit that prevents any foreign objects or moisture from getting in, and highly transparent lenses that are difficult to scratch and polarized so protect against UV. In terms of how they look, they don’t do too badly here either as they have a nice design that is big enough to offer the protection it does but not too big so that it feels like they cover your entire face.

Fox Racing has been in the MX business for longer than most of us have been alive and their Fox Racing Main Race Goggle is a great place to start if you are looking for quality at an affordable price.

Better looking than your than your best looking friend and more reliable than your ex-girlfriend, these goggles will become a welcome addition to your motocross gear. With a broad field of view, extreme comfort due to three layers of foam, and a Lexan lens, you are unlikely to find better in this price range. In fact, we would go as far to say that these are among our favorite on our list of recommendations.

An additional bonus is that these have a post built-in that will allow you to implement tear-offs which will appeal to the more serious racers out there. Furthermore, offering complete UV protection, the ability to easily replace the lens, and a variety of different designs, just adds to the attraction. Despite being specifically designed for MX and off-roaders, the main race goggles will be more than adequate for road riding too.

Another cracking set of motorcycle goggles in our opinion is that of the Pacific Coast Airfoil 9305 Goggles. Designed to be the ideal choice for us four-eyed folk wearing glasses, these goggles also offer up plenty of other advantages that go some way to making them somewhat of a bargain.

Produced by Pacific Coast, as you might have already guessed, they have come from a company that has been making glasses and goggles for more than 30-years. After so long in the business, you would have to assume that they know what they’re doing and in this case, you would be right. These goggles are the latest in a long line of ranges that have become popular among a wide range of motorcyclists.

They can fit almost all sizes of glasses underneath quite comfortably and the actual comfort felt on the face is at a high level as well. The glasses you’re wearing are not pressed right into your face like many other supposedly ‘glasses-friendly’ goggles do and your vision is not affected by having to look through two sets of lenses.

Those lenses offer 100% UV protection and are unlikely to fog over due to a tight fit frame which is also well ventilated.

If you are on the hunt for some budget motorcycle goggles, you are not going to find much better than these Bobster Bugeye Goggles. These might not offer you the durability and protection levels of goggles that are two or three times the price but they are surprisingly good for their price tag.

While you will be using these goggles primarily when riding your motorcycle, you will find they can also be used when skydiving, snowmobiling, skiing, and even the most dangerous of them all – lawn mowing. Being wind and impact resistant, even the toughest and most stubborn of grass will be able to penetrate them and get into your eyes. This will allow you to focus on completing your wife’s orders in a timely and hopefully nag-free fashion.

Joking aside, the Bobster Bugeye Goggles are fairly basic in design and will not win any awards for style, but they perform very well and are actually really comfortable to wear. They offer 100% UV protection, come with a choice of three different colored lenses, are well ventilated, and are adjustable enough to fit heads of all sizes.

Another that we consider being among the best motorcycle goggles is that of the Big Ben Goggles from Global Vision Eyewear. These are priced a little more than most on our list but we and many other of their customers have nothing but good things to say about them and believe that they are well worth the few extra dollars.

Sporting a flexible frame that allows it to conform to your head shape seamlessly and UV lenses that are scratch and fog proof, these goggles will provide you with high levels of performance and comfort.  Though a little small in size, they do not look too bad either and can even fit many sizes of glasses underneath them too.

One thing that you will instantly notice as you remove these goggles from their packaging is that the overall build quality is very impressive. They are extremely durable but flexible at the same time and you can just tell that these are going to last a good number of years.

For all you penny pinchers out there, the Freehawk Motorcycle Goggles will be another consideration for you to make when looking for a budget pair of goggles for use on your motorcycle. Having tested them out vigorously, we have to say that we are mightily impressed at how they perform despite their low price tag.

Offering good comfort levels and lenses that offer UV protection as well as being scratch and impact resistant, these Freehawk goggles are great when you consider they can be had for less than ten bucks. You also have the option of four different colored lenses when making a purchase with those being brown, orange, yellow, or clear.

An adjustable strap will make it possible to fit all sizes of heads and helmets and in terms of comfort, we are sure you will be very impressed. They are more comfortable than some goggles that are twice their price and they also offer up a peripheral view that is barely impaired at all. Furthermore, despite being quite small in size compared to other goggles, these will still allow you to wear over the top of prescription glasses.

If you are looking for something a little more quirky, you might want to consider the CRG Sports Aviator Style Motorcycle Goggles. These might look like something you might wear when flying a biplane in your latest WW1 video game or as you pretend you’re in control of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang but these are actually legit modern day motorcycle goggles.

They do look fantastic it has to be said with so many different colors and styles to choose from and they will provide a great talking point. They are not just style over substance, however, as they offer 100% UV protection, scratch, and dust resistance, and are extremely comfortable to wear.

Vintage motorcycle goggles may not be for everyone but those of you with a fun and witty personality that like to be a little different from the mainstream, these are a great option at a very good price. They might not offer quite as much quality and protection as some of the more expensive brands but you really cannot knock them at this price.
