RockGardn GDX Goggle Review
Goggle Body
The RockGardn goggles are pretty simple looking with a few different colors available for the body. The body has ample ventilation and isn’t too flashy looking. The face foam feels comfortable and has a multi-layer face foam that includes a sweat layer.

Body Highlights
- The goggle strap has silicon strips to make sure the goggles don’t move once on the helmet.
- Two layer foam to help combat sweat and wick it away while still feeling comfortable.
- The body is flexible torsionally.
- Ample ventilation on the sides of the goggle body.
- There is ample breathing room inside the goggles. The face foam doesn’t sit close to the eyes so breathing inside them along with airflow is quite good.
- The quantity of vision of the RockGardn’s are really amazing. They had some of the biggest peripheral viewing of the goggles we had.
- Headband easily comes off the goggle body to clean or replace.
- The lenses attach via three large main contact points in the frame which makes installing new lenses easier than the standard motocross style goggle.
- The GDX has a long helmet strap that make fitting on any helmet easy.
Some improvements to the goggle body
- There is no optional rock guard/nose piece.
- There are no prescription inserts.
- While the body does bend torsionally easily, bending the goggles froward or backward was quite stiff so it doesn’t sit as flush against the face as some other goggles. This increases the overall ventilation of the goggle, but also hurts it when sweating a lot or trying to fit them inside smaller faced helmets.
- Fitting the goggles inside some helmets might prove a little hard as these goggles have a pretty large frame and could be a little more flexible in the nose area.
- While the lenses are easy to change, they can get snagged on the body and pinch/cut the body if you’re not careful.
- The goggles do not come with any cleaning cloth, or storage bag.
- More color options would be nice for the frame colors.
- It would be nice if the goggles had face foam that was removable.
- There is no anti reflecting material on the inside of the body to reduce glare and reflections.
