What a collaboration. Two of the biggest names around have got together to produce possibly the most wanted goggle of the year. Fox and Oakley have already worked together on Fox’s eyewear line of sunglasses but now their highly anticipated goggle range is here. Oakley engineering, technology and manufacture with Fox design…it is a marriage made in heaven.
There are two models, the Main (shown) and the Main Pro. The Main Pro differs in that it features Oakley’s Crowbar style strap mounts and it comes with a nose guard and seven laminated tear offs as part of the package. The Mains that we had on test fitted perfectly inside a Troy Lee D2 that we had in the office and of course they are a precise fit for Fox’s own Rampage lid (and yeah, they fitted over my glasses fine).
Both models are made from a material called ‘Unobtainium’…presumably because it is unobtainable to anyone except Oakley! I’m not going to list all the features here because you should know that if Oakley and Fox get together then the product is going to have it all. They have every feature that you could wish for.
Design wise the Fox logo is bold on the strap and subtle on the frame. The frame definitely has a more angular look to it than the traditional Oakley ‘O’ Frame, as we said, this is Fox’s own design. The different frame shape does mean however that normal Oakley replacement lenses will not fit but Fox do have multi packs of coloured lenses, single lenses, laminates and even nose guards available that are specific to the Fox range only.
There are some great colour choices, the Red matches the Rampage lid perfectly but my favourites have to be the White with blue lens that we have here. Quality, style and a good price. What more do you need?
Price: Main £29.99, Main Pro £49.99
