MarauderSE
The “smaller edition” (SE) of our best-selling goggle, the Marauder SE packs top-tier tech into a goggle fit for small-to-medium size faces. This small(er) but mighty new style is made partially of plants and features a sleek frameless lens, maximum venting power, helmet compatibility, and SPY+’s ultra-secure-and-easy magnetic Deadbolt™ lens change system. They come with an extra HAPPY™ low-light lens. This goggle is guaranteed to take your next ride to a whole new level.
The make-no-apologies Marshall has gotten a major attitude adjustment. We’ve taken the revered goggle that everyone knows and loves and added a toric lens that delivers insane visibility. A wider strap creates an improved fit, while SPY+’s Rise Ventilation System creates a vacuum effect that pulls hot air from behind the lens and quickly releases it to be sure your vision stays free of fog throughout your ride. Built with partially recycled materials, the Marshall 2.0 is a universal fuss-free goggle with legendary style.
Megalith
A low-profile frame with high-profile style. The Megalith is a retro-inspired goggle that provides crystal clear views to the edge of your peripherals. From afternoon sessions to full days on the hill, this goggle packs ultimate comfort into a badass frame with a cylindrical lens and a helmet-compatible fit. The sharp edges and beveled details give a nod to their single-lens sunglass counterpart, the MONOLITH. Equipped with SPY+’s therapeutic HAPPY™ Lens and made partially from plant-based materials, the Megalith has checked the vibe so you can focus on the ride.
