What is an OTG motorcycle mask and why is it essential if you wear glasses ?
An OTG ( Over The Glasses ) motorcycle mask is a model specially designed for glasses wearers . Unlike a classic mask, it includes:
- side channels to allow branches to pass through,
- a wider shape at the temples,
- a softer foam to avoid pressure points.
👉 Result: your glasses stay in place , are not crushed, and you can ride safely without pain or fogging .
🛠️ How to choose the right motorcycle mask for your glasses ?
A good OTG mask is comfort + visibility + safety . Here are the 3 key criteria:
1. Shape adapted to glasses
Choose a mask with a wider frame and side cutouts . Without these, your glasses will be compressed and you will feel it from the first minute.
2. Ventilation : priority to anti-fog
A poorly ventilated mask = guaranteed fogging of the lenses. Choose a model with front and side vents .
3. Support and comfort
The inner foam is crucial: it must be soft, breathable , and fit snugly around your face. Also consider an elastic band with a non-slip coating if you have a motocross helmet.
