Product description

A pair of truly personal snowboarding or riding goggles. Originally these are US military ballistic goggles, designed to keep bugs and nasty weather phenomena away from your eyes and make you look sexy as hell. These are unused surplus goggles with some patina from storage: The foam part around the goggles has crumbled.

Revision Military Eyewear manufactures different kinds of high-quality protective goggles for military use. Desert Locust is their flagship model that comes with quite a bunch of fantastic features, from anti-fog coating to high-impact and UV protection.

The latest batch came out of the factory about 10 years ago and never saw use, these have been in storage for over a decade. Upon inspecting some samples, we found that the included anti-fog wipes are completely dried out and the foam filters on the frame crumble into dust from poking with a finger. These features lower the price, of course. You can also replace the foam by yourself, and the goggles will be good as new - get some foam and glue, and get to it!

Come with two lenses

The frame color is Foliage. They come with a black storage pouch, clear and smoke lens, and a microfiber cleaning cloth. The adjustable, elastic strap also features a lens cover. When you’re riding your bike in the suburb, you can easily picture yourself as an intergalactic bounty hunter or a post-apocalyptic road warrior.

Compatible with a helmet

These goggles were designed to be worn with a ballistic helmet so chances are they are good to go with your other sports helmet

US military surplus

Untouched stuff "New In Box", but no longer suitable for actual hard use due to aging and the deteriorated foams.

Bought a pair, replaced the foam, they work great in conjunction with a pro-tec helmet when I go skiing

Good stuff for that price. Be aware that they look enormously wide due to the design of the side loops for the strap. Not at all like the commercial streamlined ski goggles. Foam crumbled, but unless you are headed for the desert, this is not a problem. If you are headed for the desert, I am sure you can cut and glue bits from the thin foam baby washing cloth (Skumvaskekludde in Swedish, available in pharmacies) - regretfully not in black, only off-white. Or you can source some thin black foam from some packaging or dust filter or whathaveyou.
