Spy Marauder Elite Written Review Review by The Good Ride
Welcome to the Spy Marauder Elited Goggle Review from a guy with a lot of goggle experience.
Ethics Statement: We don’t get paid by the manufacturer to write these reviews and this is our unfiltered opinion. We do make money from the “Where To Buy” links, but this is our best attempt at an honest and objective review from an average riders’ perspective.
A Breakdown Of How It Works On The Hill
How This Review Happened:
Borrowed this for an extended demo and they didn’t want it back. I think it’s because I sweated all over it.
Days: 10+
Conditions: Sunny, Flat Lit and Really Stormy Low Light
Compared Against: Smith 4D Mag
Gloves: Burton AK Clutch Mitt, Burton AK Tech Leather Glove, Drop Tahoma Mitt,
For weight I would stay close to the Brands recommended weight ranges. If it comes down to boot size or weight, I would make sure it fits your boot first and then your weight a close second.
Fit
I have a medium somewhat oval medium size face that usually does well with medium size goggles and this fits me really well.
Foam
The triple foam of the Spy Marauder Elite is pretty comfortable and it should last a long time.
Field Of View
So this isn’t a super wide field of view in comparison to some lenses but it’s pretty good for this size goggle. I would personally like it to be the same height but have a wider field of view like some goggles do. However, it’s pretty good looking down.
Straps
There is a little silicone and it’s just a normal strap. It works.
Lens Tech
The lenses have good clarity and do a great job picking up the terrain in front of you. When switching back to my Smith 4D Mag’s, other than the different tints, I didn’t feel like there was much of a difference clarity wise.
Quick Release Tech
The Spy Marauder Elite’s quick release is very well designed. It does a very good job at keeping the lens connected to the frame and doesn’t allow any snow to get through. With some goggles the seal can break and sometimes let in snow inside the lenses which is often the kiss of death for that days riding.
Anti-Fogging
So the antifogging isn’t bad but my steamy head could still fog it up. I haven’t met a goggle, other than Smith high end goggles, that I couldn’t fog up. On a pretty wet day where I usually fog up most average goggles the Spy Marauder Elite didn’t give up easy.
