I must say that I am a VERY safety orientated person. I won’t even ride my quad unless I have all of my gear on... and I am going to be the same way when I start racing mowers…..
Any ways, eye protection is at the very top of my list of safety gear, just below a helmet. Since my Motocross helmet incorporates goggles all my needs are met with basically one piece of equipment.
I just can’t help but notice the openness of the same area in this picture.
I may be wrong in assuming that the shield is up. Maybe you are wearing something else under the shield and it’s just up for more ventilation.
