Scott Hustle Goggle - Dirt Rider Magazine

Goggles are goggles, right? Well, then everyone's face is the same, too. The contour lines a goggle must conform to on all the different mugs we possess is limitless. If there was a tough fit, the goggle has a tough task. Scott is not only a pioneer, it is innovating all the time, and the latest invention-a small cam-driven adjuster inside the lower frame of the goggle-may just be one of the smartest. The Scott guys took the hugely popular Model 89-based frame and lens, sleeked and slimmed the design (mostly to get it to fit into the eyeports of all the various helmets), then introduced four-position adjustability to the design. Moving only about 4mm with each position change (for a max of about eight in total, in two directions) in a circular pattern, the "clicker" can easily be moved with a flat screwdriver or a dime, even a tough fingernail can get the job done. It moves the shell along the lower bridge next to your nose to custom-tailor the fit.Everyone who tried the goggle could tell a difference and had personal preferences on where they wanted the goggle. I liked position two or four depending on the helmet I was wearing, and I even enjoyed switching the position on an all-day trail ride as that made it feel like I'd put on a fresh pair of goggles. This speaks volumes about the quality of the triple-layered no-sweat foam, which in itself makes a great fit even better. The foam is as absorbent as could be expected, it is durable and resists breakdown as good as any material I've put on my face while still feeling comfortable. But where you will really tell the advantage the Hustle has is when you take a big load of roost to the face and no dirt, sand or mud makes it into your eyes' zone. I tried and it was 100 percent solid. The goggle's band adjusts with double sliding clasps for quick and simple strap tuning and has a rubberized inside coating to stop slipping on the helmet to prevent very embarrassing goon goggles. The Hustle comes in a number of styles and includes options for tear offs and Roll Offs systems, plus plenty of lens tints. Prices start at $54.95 for solid frame colors and $64.95 for the "printed" fancy frames. -Jimmy Lewis
