Review on 🏍️ Bertoni Italy Motorcycle Goggles AF113A - Anti-Fog Lens, Adjustable Strap, Mat Black, Smoke Lens | Windproof Motorbike Goggles with Outriggers by Justin Malkowski

Appears to be new on the market. I just bought a pair and thought I'd share my observations. What makes them interesting and outstanding is the use of "outriggers" to attach the strap to the goggles. In the photos on the product page you can see how each strap attaches to a wishbone-like pivoting device that pivots in holes drilled above and below the lenses. This allows the rims of the goggles to fit your face snugly, even when you put the strap on outside of the helmet. For me this is a win. I like the 3/4 helmet and goggles but I don't like that the strap is inside the helmet which makes things like stopping, putting on the goggles and reading the map difficult. With a strap on the outside, I just slip the goggles around my neck and get to work without removing my helmet. motorcycle designs they have. Bertoni doesn't call them outriggers or give them much importance, but I think they should. The glasses were delivered to me by direct delivery in about 5 days straight from Lonate Pozzolo, a suburb of Milan, at 1am in the morning. (additional) fee as I am a Prime member. Bertoni's website says they're made of polycarbonate, with 100% UV protection and an anti-fog coating, and they don't appear to be polarized (which I think is a good thing). I consider this cantilever system to be one of three notable developments. in the use of goggles with helmets since the early 20th century. In short, the story is this: the first goggles (used in the automotive industry, including cars, motorcycles, and airplanes) were simple leather straps designed by the Lone Ranger, with a lens insert. By World War I, pilots adopted thinly lined leather helmets. Goggle cases were also developed at this time with lens cases having goggle straps attached to the front edges of the boxes to help hold the goggles snugly against the pilot's face where the strap goes through the helmet. Helmets stayed current throughout World War II and goggles changed only slightly. The Stadium Mark 9 goggles, which I believe date from the end of the war, had cantilever strap mounts that protruded about 3/4 inch to provide leverage to hold the goggles flat on the pilot's face at the connection to hold the helmet. This innovation probably happened when thicker helmets were introduced. After World War II, military pilots switched to hard shell helmets with built-in visors, and after that, no one really cared about goggle design. Some riders still use the Mark 9 (I had one as a teenager) which isn't designed to fit in the face gap with large modern helmets. Motorcyclists who wanted to wear goggles began wearing them inside the helmet (unless wearing a helmet, leather flight helmet, or pudding shell half helmet). Mark 9! The control arm outriggers work better than the Mark 9 consoles and don't feel more intrusive in sight. (However, I think there is some reduction compared to a clean windshield.) This Bertoni product isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Enjoy one before they are withdrawn for lack of sales. (Motorcyclists don't generally seem to be too picky about these things.) Bertoni also makes some other, nicer goggles that have frames wrapped in leather or calfskin and suede where the goggles meet the rider's skin. Maybe one day they will make a model with outriggers and some of those luxury features. In general, her glasses are impressive examples of Italian design.
