We are very particular about the goggles we wear here at Motocross.com. After all, when you're on the bike, arms pumping, burning off laps, they are your window to the world. It's important that your eyes stay protected, your vision stay fog-free, and that pool of sweat in your lid doesn't end up in your peepers.

If the "King of Supercross" trusts his eyes to these googles, you would too, right?

In our never ending quest for better gear we asked Spy to ship us over a pair of the new McGrath 2009 Upperclassmen Magneto's to evaluate (thanks!), and truth be told: we like 'em.

The frame of the goggle itself is quite large, giving the rider a very large viewing pane. This keeps peripheral blockage at a minimum, but also runs the risk of fitting snugly into your helmet. As tested, we socked these goggles into a Shoei, Arai, Vemar and Bell and didn't have any trouble with fitment, so neither should you.

The foam, like the lenses, on these gogs' is replaceable too. They come pre-fitted with tear-off posts and the scoop ventilation system really does keep your view free of fog.

Another great thing about the Magneto line is the enormous amount of color-way's available, 26 in total! Everything from the McGrath line pictured above to Bradshaw, Windham, blues, blacks, etc. Something for everyone, plus they're available in the Motocross.com shop at a great price.

Goggles are good to wear. They protect your eyes. And if you only have one eye they will still protect your eye. The down side is you look funy when you take them off because your face stays cleaner under the goggle. These Spy goggles would work really well if your number is 007.
