EKS (X) Brand is an innovative, youthful company that specializes in motocross eye protection. They produce some of the most effective goggles in the entire sport, and they have plenty of celebrity endorsements to back them up. With partners like Josh Strang and Mike Alessi - both of whom have their very own line of goggles with EKS (X) Brand - they must be doing something right. For those of you who never trust paid celebrity endorsements or rider sponsorship deals, all you have to do is look at a shortlist of athletes who are really using EKS (X) Brand goggles to see that this eyewear is definitely the real deal.

First, there's Zach Osbourne. After spending a few years in Europe pursuing the MX-2 World Championship, he returned to the United States to compete in the 2012 AMA Supercross Series. Zach came out strong in the very first round in Anaheim, placing 9th, but his results have continued to improve ever since. He finished 6^th place in round 2, and 3^rd place in round 3.

Michael Leib is another rider who is excelling in the 2012 AMA Supercross Series. He also spent some time in Europe, so he is still getting used to the ins and outs of supercross. He showed an impressive display in Los Angeles, and finished the night 7^th overall.

Kyle Chisolm, racing for the recently formed DNA/Jeff Ward Racing team, is another rider who sports EKS (X) Brand goggles. While he struggles to figure out the intricacies of his brand new Kawasaki 450, Chisolm has actually had some impressive performances in the 2012 AMA Supercross Series thus far. In fact, Los Angeles saw the rider starting at the very back of the pack, only to have him battle his way to a 12^th place finish.

EKS (X) Brand also sponsors entire racing teams. The riders of the Obermeyer Yamaha/Raines Riding University/Offroadviking.com race team, participating in the National Hare Scramble Series, have also shown some impressive displays of their own. Brad Bakken took 4^th place, Jason Raines took 5^th place, and Jed Haines finished 10^th in the series. In the women's class, Leeann Bange took a 1^st place victory on her YZ250F - all of the riders were wearing EKS (X) Brand goggles.

Some ATV riders are also sponsored by EKS (X) Brand. Beau Barron took 1^st place at round one of the Glen Helen WORCS race series and the SOBOBA GP, while his teammate Davi Haagsma finished the SOBOBA GP in second. Bobby Garrison took 4^th in the first round of the Glen Helen WORCS.

If you are in the market for a new goggle, the 2012 EKS (X) Brand goggles are for you. They feature lightweight frames that are constructed from a special urethane blend, which allows the goggle to conform to the contours and curves of your face. Ventilated foam provides cool airflow and warm air exhaust, while still keeping your eyes free of dirt and debris, and an adjustable, double-buckle strap holds tight around your head. Integrated tear-off posts work with almost any tear-off sheets on the market today, and all goggles in EKS (X) Brand's 2012 line come with an anti-static, smudge resistant bag.
