MTB Mask
Get your mountain bike masks, get set, go!
Alpinstore offers you masks specially designed for mountain biking. Thanks to their technical features, mountain bike goggles ensure more incredible descents than ever, with sharp, precise vision. But why opt for a mask instead of glasses? We tell you more...
Mountain biking
Mountain biking is all about taking on nature. From its very beginnings in the 1950s, mountain biking has been designed to get off-road and over obstacles. It was in 1970 that mountain biking made its mark, with the first timed downhill runs. Little by little, the sport became more popular, and the first mountain bikes were produced.
These bikes feature wider, notched all-terrain tires to grip all types of trails. The fork is fitted with suspension to absorb shocks and be more efficient on descents.
Naturally, the bike is adapted to suit the discipline in question. Today, the best-known is the classic mountain bike, also known as Crosscountry, which consists of racing on a defined circuit, with demanding climbs and descents. But be careful! Whatever your riding style, you need the right equipment.
Mountain bike goggles for extra protection
Today, all riders wear helmets to protect their heads. But the question often arises: should I wear sunglasses, or a mask instead? The answer is simple...
The mountain bike mask provides complete protection for your face, as it integrates perfectly with your full-face helmet. Downhill or uphill, stones and dust fly, and it's hard to perform when you're in the way. That's why a mountain bike mask isolates your eyes from outside elements, so you can stay focused on what you're doing.
Note that a mountain bike goggle is different from a ski goggle! Optimum ventilation and finer foam make for a more comfortable cycling mask in high temperatures. So, for example, the glass of a Poc mountain bike g oggle is adapted to mountain biking. It won't protect you from the sun's rays, however, as dark screens could penalize you during your race.
