The BSMC x Ethen Scrambler Goggles are a collaborative effort between the world-famous Bike Shed in London, and Ethen, a company known for making some of the best goggles in the world for sports ranging from skiing to motorcross.
The Scrambler Goggles have a curved UV-protective and photochromic lens that automatically tints in direct sunlight, it offers a wide field of view, and it rests on your face with comfort foam, with a Coolmax layer.
Wearers of 3/4 face and classically-designed full face helmets will often use googles in the summer rather than a shield as it allows far better airflow to stay cool, particularly when stuck in slow-moving traffic.
Of course, those of you into motocross, enduro, scrambling, and adventure riding already know the benefits of good goggles – particularly those with photochromic lenses.

To say that the Greeves Challenger, and all Greeves motorcycles, were ahead of their time is to significantly understate the remarkable foresight of Bert Greeves and his lightweight two-stroke off-road racing motorcycles.
