The Scott Brendan Fairclough Fury Deathgrip2 goggles come in a wide range of colourways including this limited edition model made to celebrate the recent launch of Deathgrip2. They prove to be comfortable goggles with a natural fit and prevent fogging up when things get toasty. They are not cheap by any stretch but do represent one of the best mountain bike goggles currently available.

Scott Brendan Fairclough Fury Deathgrip 2 Goggles – Technical details
Although a limited-edition colourway, the Brendan Fairclough Deathgrip2 goggles use the very same features as the regular Fury, which have been included to make them ideal for both motocross and mountain biking.
Lenses that fog up are a real problem, especially when it’s wet. The Fury goggles use a permanent NOFOGTM treatment to the lens that prevents condensation and fogging. The lens is locked into the frames using four locking pins; one pin in each corner.
These limited-edition Fury goggles come with one lens as standard, a clear option for low-light conditions, however, the regular Fury goggles come with two lenses as standard, a clear option alongside a tinted option for sunnier conditions. All clear or tinted lenses are designed to offer 100% UV protection, screening out any harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Aside from the lens, the frame features a three-layer foam edging, which increases comfort and fit. The open-cell foam uses a fleece to sit against the skin, aiding moisture absorption and wicking sweat away from the skin.
The strap uses a silicone strip to keep it in place and features a buckle to adjust the fit.
The Fury goggles are available in 14 colourways. However, the Brendan Fairclough Deathgrip 2 speckled white and camo colourway (pictured here) is a limited-edition extra.
Scott Brendan Fairclough Fury Deathgrip 2 Goggles – Performance
When I put the Fury goggles on for the first time, I was instantly impressed by the comfort on offer. The fleece lining on the foam is soft, providing a lovely contact point to the skin and the foam moulds to shape easily.
Although the frames are quite stiff, the shape of them along with the thick foam do a great job of providing a secure and comfortable fit. Across the nose, the shape of the frames is not intrusive nor does it cause any pressure points on the bridge of the nose. I did find the goggles to sit a little higher on my face than I’d like so perhaps a little more room in the nose area would be an improvement. The frames are a sensible size, which fits easily into a range of full-face helmets without clashing or causing fitment issues.
The strap adjuster buckles use the same system found on my goggles, where pulling the buckles away from each other tightens the fit. I found the fit to be plenty tight enough on a size large downhill mountain bike helmet without having to adjust them. The silicone gripper did a great job keeping the strap in place even when things go wet and muddy.
Moving onto the lens, the lens lock system was a little tricky at first getting the pins to pop out. Once I’d figured out how to operate them properly, the process of changing the lens was straightforward forward and getting the lens back in was less of a faff than the traditional pop-and-click system.
Out on the trails, the field of view is plentiful and with the clear lens, the vision was great. When this got sweaty I had no issues fogging as long as I was on the move and there was adequate airflow. As with most goggles, the lens does start to steam up when the foam is saturated, it’s warm and you’ve stopped for a break. Although these lenses are susceptible to steaming up they do clear impressively quickly and with a little bit of sensible lens management they do the job perfectly well.
Scott Brendan Fairclough Fury Deathgrip 2 Goggles – Verdict
The Scott Fury goggles retail at £75, while the Deathgrip2 edition comes in at £85. These are by no means a cheap set of goggles. However, they feel like quality products and the comfort is notable.
Other options worth considering are the Smith Optics Fuel V2 goggle, which is very similar money at £74. They were praised for their comfort and lens clarity but came in a garish colour. The POC Opsin goggle is a cheaper option at £50, which does a great job of not fogging up and the field of view is excellent – however, the replacement lens is very pricey.
The Scott Fury goggles are impressively comfortable, fit well and do a good job of managing ventilation.
