The standout for the 2020 range from Scott goggles has to be the Fury. All the hallmarks of the Prospect at a much better price point.

THE MARKETING

A new highlight among the 2020 collection, the SCOTT Fury Goggle is guaranteed to shake things up. Shaped by innovation, technology and design, the Fury follows in the steps of the flagship goggle, the Prospect. Featuring the proven SCOTT Lens Lock System, three-layer face foam, no-slip silicone strap, and supporting all of the same accessories as the Prospect, this goggle was developed to Defend Your Vision.

Frame Technologies:
- Lens lock system.
- Three-layer face foam.
- No-slip silicone strap.
Lens Technologies:
- SCOTT Truview single WORKS lens.
- NoFog anti-fog lens treatment.
Extras:
- Bonus clear lens included.

SCOTT TruView Single Lens With 4 Works Pins:
SCOTT TruView lenses are lightweight and block 100% of harmful UV rays. TruView lenses pass SCOTT's strict testing procedures delivering high-quality, performance lenses. Different to traditional SCOTT MX lenses, this lens comes with four works pins instead of two. The four pins provide more stability for the tear-offs. With this system, the tear-offs will always remain tight to the lens and provide the rider a better vision.

NoFog Anti-Fog Lens Treatment:
SCOTT lenses undergo a permanent No Fog treatment process to prevent condensation and fogging.

Lens Lock System:
The Lens Lock System by SCOTT has been designed to guarantee the safest lens retention on the market. To avoid the lens coming out, SCOTT has designed this innovative Lens Lock System which features four locking pins that go through the lens instead of grabbing it from the top.

THE DIRT

If you put two Scott Prospects together in a room, maybe dimmed the lights a smidge, spread some roost around the bed and played a little Barry White – the Scott Fury would be the result.

Following in the steps of SCOTT’s flagship goggle the Prospect, the Fury is the latest addition to the goggle range and is looking to make its mark. It has all the same hallmarks that is good about the Prospect like the massive field of vision, 4-post lens system, Lens locking system, ultra-wide roll-off film, and all the same accessories. It’s a literal baby brother to the Prospect. So, what do we like most about it.

COMFORT

It’s a great fit first and foremost. The triple layer foam, although not quite on the tech- level of the Prospect, is super comfortable and creates a really good seal around the face. Possibly even more so than the prospect and especially around the nose area. You can notice the difference from a top-down view that the Fury’s foam design is less sculpted and more generic (again, especially around the nose area), probably resulting in a better fitment for a wider range of faces (and noses).

Sweat absorbance worked well. Though I haven’t had a ride where I needed to put in real work, so updates on that as they develop and as I struggle.

The Fury has the thinner strap compared to the Prospect but has no issues with staying in place.

DESIGN

Apart from losing the outriggers, the Fury is mistakably similar to the Prospect. There are some structural changes around the top-side and bottom-edge on the frame, plus of course the foam, but the rest is very similar and we mark that as a good thing.

The loss of the outriggers are neither her not there in my opinion. The purpose of the outriggers are to allow the goggle to snugly fit into the eye port of the helmet. Good for when your face doesn’t protrude much and it helps with the goggle sealing around your face. So instead of outriggers the Fury had a small extension where the strap connects to the goggle that give more than enough (for my face) leeway for goggle sealing with ease.

The locking system is pretty basic and works well. Four clips (2x top & 2x bottom) ensure the lens doesn’t come out of the frame when getting roosted or during a get-off. It isn’t the simplest system to use on the market (that probably belongs to the Oakley Airbrake) but it’s damn hard to mess up and easy enough for your mom to change out. Again this is the same system as the Prospect.

The lens is also the same as the prospect so you have a great range to choose from. The four integrated tear-off posts on the lens also act as your points of connection for the roll-off system. Definitely one of the easiest systems to fit on and the largest film size on the market at 50mm.

The strap is smaller that the Prospect, another point of difference signifying the lower price. This has no hindrance on how the goggle performs.

The locking clips - there are four in total.

IN USE

It is exactly what you would expect from a Scott goggle. It just works. I think I actually might like the Fury more than the Prospect – and I really like the Prospect. The fury is lighter and flexes in the frame area more than the Prospect. It doesn’t feel heavy in the face and the softer foam makes the feeling really non-intrusive. It flexes, feels and wears very much like a standard sizes, non-wide peripheral goggle, but it has the benefit of the large field of. The lens is tough and not easily scratched and in this particular case, the yellow is a striking colour matched to our matte white Fox V3 helmet – and we all know looking good is just as important.

Price-wise it is $50 cheaper (than the Prospect) and retails for $139.50. I think if it was priced at around $110 it would have created a better disparity between the two models. It does come with a spare clear lens which is great, though there is no goggle bag! Bro. I couldn’t think of anything worse than putting my beautiful new goggles into my gear bag without protection so that is a little annoying. I’m gonna to have to choose a set of goggles that I like slightly less than the Fury and steal that goggle bag. That’s probably my only gripe on the new Fury.

I’ll be using these goggles a bit over the next month so keep an eye on the social channels for more updates on long-term use.

Distributor Darbi Accessories informs us that the Fury is now available at all your usual Scott stockists. You can also head to www.motogear.co.nz to check out the range of colours available.
