Can you recommend a decent set of roll offs? ive tried rip n roll but i cant stand them. get plastered in mud and all you get is a small strip of clean to view, and if it rains the rain gets behind them an stays there no matter how much i roll.
at least with tear offs i get totally clear vision from mud and rain, and even when the rain gets under them i can lose them all an use a rag to clear them.
any better brands would be great!!

Ive used Smiths / cheapest / never had a problem.
I understand what you say about the strip, but it is something you get used to / have to get used to.
Ive only ever used for racing so the red mist tends to make up for the lack of vision - tee hee.
There are little things you can do to fettle them, ie a bit of insulation tape suitably folded sorts the water between etc.
I always ride with the "Quick strap" system, that way if you get an instant faceful, quick flick (if you are lucky!), and vision is restored - provided you dont get a second instant faceful, in which case you are f*******d.
Other than that keep them spotless between races, store in freezer bags and use the defog stuff on the inside.
All parts are available from OROnly, so not a disaster if string breaks etc.
I dont use them for trail riding - waste of money, just stop, clean them and then bury the rider who caused the problem in the first place - not TRF pc but we all know it happens.
Somehow always seems amusing - sad really, tee hee.
I couldnt possibly condone such childish behaviour.
