ZOWA VISOR GOGGLE
The lens on the Zowa Goggle
is taller and wider than most
traditional goggles, allowing
more of an unobstructed
vision.
PRODUCT EVALUATION
This goggle does look abnormally large
and fits strangely on your helmet, but it
is comfortable, and the bigger range of
vision is nice to have.
❏ Eye protection is always needed
in extreme sports like ATV riding.
Goggles come in different shapes,
styles and sizes. They all have the
same goals in mind, which are comfort, clear vision and protection. Zowa
created a goggle with the largest
range of vision we have tested here at
Dirt Wheels. Introducing the $58 Zowa
Visor goggle with the biggest lens in
the business.
VISION
The Zowa goggle offers a range of
vision that is larger than any goggle
we have tested. The lens is very wide,
which allows your peripheral vision
to not be obstructed, allowing you to
take in more of your surroundings as
you ride through them. To make this
possible, the goggle does not fit on
your face the same as a traditional
goggle would. The top of the Zowa
Visor goggle rests on the front of your
helmet directly above the open face
of your helmet and below the visor.
The bottom of the goggle rests on your
face like the bottom of a traditional
goggle does. Since only the bottom of
the goggle rests on your face, it is very
comfortable to wear and barely feels
like you are wearing goggles at all.
The main aspect that could change
our opinion on purchasing this gog-
gle would be the fact that air flows
through them a bit too well. They are
perfect for warm temperature riding,
but in the cold, the high flow of air can
dry your eyes out quickly, which can
make it difficult to see. After wearing
them for some time, your eyes will
adjust to the sensation, though. The
Zowa’s lens is coated with an anti-fog
formula, but they can occasionally still
fog up. The looser fit below your eyes
leaves the possibility of dust getting
through, but it is not enough to make
us not want to wear the Visor goggle.
VERDICT
We tested this goggle in many dif-
ferent riding areas, including a moto-
cross track. If you can get past the
looks you will get from other riders that
see you wearing an abnormally large
goggle, this Zowa goggle is a great
product to have. The larger view you
get from them can be very beneficial,
the airflow during warm days keeps
your face cool, and they are very com-
fortable. The $58 Zowa Visor goggle
comes in three colors—cyan, red or
black. You can purchase tear-offs for
them at a price of $14 for a pack of 20
tear-offs. www.zowaoptics.com ❏
