We caught a glimpse of Sweet Protection’s new Deckard MTB Goggles at Sea Otter, and now they’ve officially hit the market. The Deckard is the brand’s top-tier MTB goggle built for aggressive enduro, bike park, and downhill riding. According to Sweet Protection, these goggles were designed to help you see clearly when the world is moving fast around you.

Not surprisingly, they’ve been designed to pair seamlessly with Sweet Protection’s Fixer 2Vi MIPS and Strayer 2Vi MIPS full face helmets. Those helmets recently received the top rankings from the Virginia Tech Helmet Test Lab for full face models. Now, you can pair them with the Deckard MTB goggles for a precise and stable fit and a wide field of view.

The Deckard MTB Goggles were designed to pair perfectly with Sweet’s full face helmets.

Sweet says they designed the goggle’s shape, outriggers, and strap to line up perfectly with their full-face helmet models. This creates a goggle and helmet system, of sorts, which eliminates any gaps or pressure points when paired together. And when fit, comfort, and stability combine, you can dedicate all of your focus on what’s coming down the trail. If you have another brand of helmet, we’re willing to bet they’ll probably work with that, too, even if the fit isn’t quite as precise.

The Deckard frame is made of durable TPU with an injected lens panel. Triple-layer face foam ensures on-the-face comfort, while open mesh ventilation ports promote airflow while keeping dust and debris at bay. The strap is connected to outriggers, which optimize the goggle’s position in the opening of the helmet and on your face. 

The Deckard MTB goggles come equipped with a 2.8mm sculpted cylindrical lens. The current lens options appear to be clear or the mirrored RIG Reflect. RIG is what Sweet Protection calls its contrast-enhancing lens technology. The RIG Topaz lens (orange reflective coating) comes standard on the RIG Reflect version of the goggles, and Sweet also sells a RIG Bixbite lens, which has more of a purple reflective coating. For those who ride in sloppy conditions, the Deckard is tear-off ready, too.

The Sweet Protection Deckard comes in three versions. The standard Deckard MTB Goggle comes with a black frame, black strap, and clear lens, and retails for $160. The Emil Johansson Signature model has a white frame, a white strap w/Emil’s graphic, a clear lens, and a $170 price tag. The Deckard RIG Reflect has a white frame and a white strap and comes with the RIG Topaz lens for $180.
