The Oakley Mayhem MX goggle sets a new standard, with aggressive styling that is shaped with a completely redesigned facial contour. The flexible O Matter® chassis is optimised with triple-layer face foam for a plush feel and superior moisture wicking. Oakley created rigid O Matter® strap outriggers to distribute pressure evenly. Mayhem comes with a removable nose guard and a pack of seven laminated tearoffs. Oakley expanded the lens size, with every frame delivered with two interchangeable lenses (Dark Grey and Clear). All lenses are made of durable Lexan®, so even the Clear lens blocks all UV. The Oakley Mayhem retails from $119.95 and is available in a variety of colours, including special editions.
