Mountain biking: an adventure sport
Mountain biking is a sport that's all about taking on the great outdoors. From its beginnings in the 1950s, mountain biking has been designed to get off the beaten track and over obstacles. It was only in 1970 that the discipline made its mark with the first timed mountain bike descents. Little by little, the sport became more popular, and the first mountain bikes were produced.
These bikes feature wider, notched all-terrain tires to grip all types of trails. The fork is fitted with suspension to absorb shocks and be more efficient on descents.
Naturally, the bike is adapted to suit the discipline in question. Today, the best-known is the classic mountain bike, also known as Crosscountry, which consists of racing on a defined circuit, with demanding climbs and descents. But be careful! Whatever your riding style, you need the right equipment.
Mountain bike goggles: essential protection
Today, all riders wear a helmet to protect their head. But the question often arises: should I wear sunglasses or a mask? The answer is simple... The mountain bike mask offers complete protection for your face, as it integrates perfectly with your full-face helmet.
Downhill or uphill, stones and dust fly around you; it seems hard to perform when we're hampered by these external elements. That's why a mountain bike mask isolates your eyes, so you can stay focused on your performance.
A mountain bike mask is different from a ski mask! Its optimal ventilation and finer foam make it much more comfortable to wear in high temperatures.
Buying the right mask: Buying guide
When choosing your mountain bike mask, there are a number of criteria to take into account:
- Size: Make sure it fits comfortably under your helmet without creating too much pressure.
- Anti-fog system: Opt for a model that offers good ventilation to prevent moisture build-up on the screen.
- Interchangeable lenses: This will enable you to adapt your equipment to changing weather conditions.
- Lens color: Choose a tint suited to the light conditions in which you frequently ride.
And don't forget that brands such as Smith, Scott and Bliz offer a wide range of products tailored to the specific needs of mountain bikers.
