OF COURSE!

...why didn't I think of this?!

Brilliant!

Wireless goggle roll-offs. Press a button on your grip - voila' - it rolls on it's own and clears your vision!

Cool idea, but seems overkill when the Scott roll-off system is so easy to use.

Personally I think tear-offs should be illegal in DH unless they start making a short term bio-degradable version. I don’t have a problem with running a tear off to protect your goggle lens, but you should be required to dispose of them and not leave them on the trail.

the goggle is designed with the speedview system in mind, so it has about 50% bigger viewing area than a roll off system, also water/grit cant get under the film.

and of course you can put the used film in the bin after, no trail deposit

No way, I was thinking of a system exactly like this the other day, now someone's actually done it!! Sweet!

I agree with this man.

Interesting to see the 360° helmet cam idea crop up again. Either dirt weren't the first, or these guys were so impressed they stole the idea! :)

Sweet vid, quality choice of music. Anyone seen them for sale? What's the retail?

The only part of that I think is any better than anyone else electronic system, is the remote mount.



Just to add to the conversation, if you use something like these, you want to run a tear off underneath the system that you put on with the goggles very clean. Helps keep the mud from getting in between the film and the lens.

Looks like a good idea, not that good looking though, but roll off systems generally aren't. It's cooler though seeing a pro MX-er ripping off a tear off in air :)

Ditto.

Somebody needs to make a cellulose-based tear-off (think: clear rolling papers).
