Sweet Protection has added the new Deckard goggle to its MTB line-up. It is clearly aimed at gravity riders who are travelling at high speeds, in changing light conditions and on long days in the saddle. The focus is on a large field of vision, a stable fit and consistent system integration with the Norwegian company's MTB helmets.
The Deckard goggle is designed for tough enduro and downhill use. The centrepiece is a robust TPU frame that is designed to absorb impacts and retain its shape even after many days on the bike. Lateral outriggers ensure a defined connection to the helmet and keep the goggles reliably in position even in rough passages.
Sweet Protection relies on a 2.8 mm thick, cylindrically shaped discwhich is designed to offer a wide, low-distortion field of vision. This pays off at high speeds and on technical terrain in particular. The goggle is optionally available with the in-house RIG disc technology which enhances contrasts and emphasises details in the terrain more clearly - a clear advantage in changing light conditions.
Sweet Protection also remains true to its line when it comes to comfort. Open mesh ventilation ports ensure air exchange without letting dirt into the interior unchecked. In addition, an injected pane holder stabilises the construction and helps to reduce fogging of the pane. The Three-layer facial foam reliably absorbs moisture and is comfortable to wear even on sweaty descents. For racing, the Deckard tear-off-readyto quickly regain a clear view in wet or muddy conditions. Newly developed, moulded-in strap fasteners increase durability, the Interchangeable belt system allows easy adaptation to different helmets.
The Deckard is designed as part of a complete system. It is compatible with all Sweet Protection MTB helmets and is particularly suitable for the full-face models. Fixed 2Vi Mips and Strayer 2Vi Mips matched. The line-up is complemented by other helmets such as the Bushwhacker 2Vi Mips for aggressive trail and enduro riding as well as the lighter Primer Mips for Trail and XC.
Sweet Protection refers to the high safety standards in its own helmet portfolio, which has recently been honoured several times with the 5-star rating from Virginia Tech was honoured. The Deckard goggle fits in conceptually with this approach: robust material, large field of vision and a fit designed to minimise gaps in protection.
With the Deckard MTB goggle, Sweet Protection is not delivering a revolution, but a Consistent further development in the upper market segment. The key technical data is on a par with established gravity goggles from the competition. The real added value lies in the System ideasFit, integration and function are clearly matched to the company's own helmets. The Deckard is a logical addition for riders who are already travelling in the sweet protection cosmos or are looking for the most coherent overall setup possible. As is so often the case, practice will show whether it will prevail in direct comparison with the top dogs in the long term.
