100% Accuri Forecast Mud goggle review
RRP: £69.99 / $75.00
Contact: www.ride100percent.com
Warren’s been all very flash
sporting his new Scott
Prospect WFSs on our recent
rides, but actually I’ve not been envying
him as I’ve had a new set of 100% Accuri
Forecast Mud goggles to wear, and as
much as I can see Warren has some of
the best kit on the market, these 100%
goggles, for approximately half the cost,
provide an excellent service.
The thing about 100% is that they
have a huge range that is dedicated
to moto. And while I’m wearing them
for trail and enduro I’ve seen JB very
happy riding in his 100% Racecraft
goggles for adventure. The quality is
good, both in terms of frame (comfort)
and lens (optically). I’ve previously
tested their entry-level Strata goggle (in
a blue frame with a clear lens) which
at around £24.99 ($25.00) is still a good
performer. Meanwhile, these Accuri
Forecast Mud goggles are near the top
of their range priced at around £70 /
$75 complete with roll off system. I also
like that 100% use the same lenses in
all their ranges and with replacement
lenses starting at just £7 / $10 for a clear
lens this again makes their offerings
very affordable, no matter which frame
you have.
Now the Forecast roll-off system on
the Accuri goggles is in essence the
same roll-off system that has been
around for years on other makes of
goggles but in this instance 100% have
made the film wider and the roll-off
action smoother, so it’s really not that
far off the Scott WFS system Warren’s
been enjoying. It works well, although
I’ve had more dust than mud to
contend with!
Now I note these are a mud goggle
and for that reason the foam is very
light to allow good airflow and this
combined with the anti-fog coat on
the Lexan lens should make for clear
view in the worst conditions. But for
dry dusty conditions I’d swap to 100%’s
Racecraft goggles which have an
upgraded three layered foam around
the frame to keep out the dust, and, if
I’m honest, also fit me better.
The 100% range of goggles are very
good value for money and do what
they are meant to. And with my high
rate of use I can’t afford to constantly
wear out expensive stuff. So for me,
they’re a go-to choice on both price
and quality.
