Vintage Motorcycle Goggles

Finding a good pair of motorcycle goggles is necessary to protect you from dust, dirt, rocks and bugs flying into your eyes. These goggles should be able to withstand all the common weather conditions to give you an optimal safe and comfortable feeling when riding on the road.

Motorcycle goggles can be found in many different styles. In this article we will take a closer look at the vintage style motorcycle goggles. To make your vintage biker look complete, you must include a nice pair of classic styled goggles. The two most popular types of vintage motorcycle goggles are the Red Baron goggles and the round lens goggles. They can be perfectly worn in combination with an open face helmet.

During the first World War, the Red Baron (Manfred von Richthofen) established his name as one of the greatest flying aces ever set foot on this earth. His great air combat skills delivered him over 80 victories.

The goggles worn by these air fighters in those days were the inspiration to the aviator goggles, also known nowadays as the Red Baron Goggles.

These vintage motorcycle goggles are excellent to create an old fashioned look. The cool thing about them is that have an adjustable strap so they can fit almost everybody.

Another way to create a vintage look is with round lens goggles. These goggles have mostly a smaller bridge and don't have the face cushions that you see at the Red Baron models. The round lens models have a lot of features like you see them on most welding goggles: round lenses, thin bridge and adjustable straps.
