Review: 100% Strata and Accuri Goggles

10 June 2013  |  

100% are without doubt one of the hottest goggle manufactures in the game at the moment and for pretty good reason to! They have absolutely loads of colour options and they come in at an absolute bargain price.

The Strata's comes in at a market leading £24.99 rrp and the Accuri's £34.99... Best of all they don’t look half bad either!

Check out our First Look at the awesome Strata And Accuri goggles from 100%

Strata

The Strata goggles from 100% are their current bottom of the line offering but whenever it was universally decided that “bottom of the line” products shouldn’t offer equal performance to their higher end lines, 100% clearly didn’t get the memo.

Goggles serve 2 purposes in the world of mountain biking. Keeping mud out of your eyes when going fast and the vastly more important job of looking as factory as possible at all times with goggles that perfectly match your riding kit.

The Strata’s have nailed both of the above.

100% Strata Goggles

Needless to say the Strata goggles will keep (excuse the pun) 100% of mud out of your eyes and provide you with perfect vision in all conditions and if required they are compatible with both tear off and roll off systems.

They are also available in 10 different frame and strap designs with a selection of 24 different lens colours and varietys to mix and match with that are all available as aftermarket extras for far cheaper than any other goggle manufacture.

100% Strata Goggles

The Strata goggles are constructed from a flexible and durable Urathane frame with a 40mm wide silicon coated strap to ensure they are always staying in the right place on your helmet.

Plush dual foam ensures that the goggles keep a good fit on your face at all times and makes the most of the massive field of vision that the Strata goggles have to offer.

The anti-fog lens is made from a Lexan coated scratch resistant flexible plastic with the tear off pins already in situe to load them up and hit the race track.

Conclusion

The goggles on the whole are pretty comfortable on your face and the dual layer foam does a good job with sweat management. They are simple and cheap and do a marvellous job of keeping your eyes clear!

Accuri

The Accuri goggles are 100%'s middle of the range offering that are available for what I consider is still a bargain price of £34.99.

You may wonder what makes 1 pair of goggles worth more of your hard earned cash than another pair… It’s subtle differences like the thickness of foam to and general shape of the goggle that ensures a better fit. Manufacture's also tend to hold back some of their more elaborate and funiker designs for the more expensive models much like this camoflauge number we have here!

100% Accuri Goggles

The 100% Accuri goggles are constructed from the same flexible and durable urethane as the Strata goggles but feature a slightly more complex shape that gives a much better fit around the nose.

The Accuri’s are available in 18 different colour combinations some of which are quite a bit different to the mainly primary coloured strata so if your looking to make a real statement with your camo or fluro yellow goggles the Accuri’s will be the ones for you.

They feature a strap that’s 5mm wider than the Stratas making them 45mm but that’s nothing to write home about. Both goggles strap feels of reasonable quality and will comfortably last a season of abuse.

100% Accuri Goggles

Another point to make is that 100% use exactly the same lenses across their entire range so the Accuri’s are actually using an identical lens to the cheaper Strata goggles which for one means they offer the same fantastic field of vision. The lenses are also pretty good value and start from £7 for a clear replacement.

I have always had real trouble finding a pair of goggles that still allow me to breath when riding due to recieving one to many hits in the face with a rugby ball as a child. The Accuri’s were the 1st pair of goggles I've ever tried that didn’t pinch the bridge of my nose. On a personal level I don't think I will ever be running anything else!

Conclusion

Perfect if your after some slightly more lairy colour combinations or struggle to find goggles that don’t pinch the bridge of your nose.

So there we have it... 2 fantastic looking and high performing goggles that will fit in with even the tightest of budgets. You'd be mad not to run them!

100% are distributed in the UK by the lovely people at Decade Europe.

100% also have one of the single sickest looking websites I think I’ve ever seen so it’s worth checking that out and admiring the full range if you have a spare 5 minutes! www.ride100percent.com
