NEW GEAR: LEATT VELOCITY 6.5 GOGGLES

Leatt is already deep in the gear game with a whole host of protection products fitting you out from head to toe. So why not goggles right? Leatt has come to the party with a brand new goggle - the Velocity 6.5 with Bulletproof and Anti-Fog Lens.

“The answer to your question? Yes! The goggles are bulletproof, they work in all conditions, look great, fit perfectly, and they won’t break the bank.” Says the Leatt PR.

The Iriz has the slick looking mirror lens

The Velocity comes in three models. Standard, Iriz and Roll-Off. By the looks of it, the the Iriz is the mirror lens model and is slightly a higher price point. And the Roll-Off versions are up again in price. The base model comes with a couple of different lens colours and a decent amount of design options so don’t think you are missing out on much.

The Velocity 6.5 is Leatt’s new base model and it comes in 7 different colours - we will see how many make it to NZ.

A dual density frame, wide 170 degree field of view, triple layer foam and a whole bunch of other features, the 6.5 looks like it’s going to be a big hit in the dirt world. You can’t help but notice similarities to the Scott Prospect goggle in its frame shape and overall ‘look’ from afar, but the 6.5 is completely unique in so many ways.

The roll of model as a wide film and built in ridges to keep the film from sticking.

The outriggers tuck in nicely when in Roll-Off mode
