A sports goggle comprising:
- a frame defining a field of view for a wearer;
- a strap attachable to lateral ends of the frame and configured to circumscribe a head of the wearer;
- a first lens attachable to the frame;
- a second lens attachable to the frame and covering the first lens, the second lens having one or more first engagement members projecting away from an inner surface of the second lens;
- and
- a second engagement member disposed on the frame and configured to selectively engage with the first engagement member, the second engagement member having a button surface and being movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, the second engagement member engaging with the first engagement member when in the locked position to prevent the second lens from being removed from the frame, the second engagement member disengaging from the first engagement member when the button surface is pressed by the wearer, wherein the second engagement member comprises a spring, the spring directly engaging with the one or more first engagement members when in the locked position.

A sports goggle comprising:
- a frame defining a field of view for a wearer, the frame comprising an outer frame member releasably securable to an inner frame member, the outer frame member having a passage extending through a side of the outer frame, the inner frame member including one or more tangs extending from the inner frame member so as to enter the passage when the inner frame is secured to the outer frame;
- and
- a strap having connectors at both ends of the strap, the connectors being attachable to lateral ends of the outer frame member, each connector having one or more projections, the projections being configured to enter the passage in the outer frame member from an opposite side from the one or more tangs to directly engage with the tangs of the inner frame member so as to prevent rotation of the connectors relative to their respective lateral ends of the outer frame.
A sports goggle comprising:
- a frame defining a field of view for a wearer and having a spring member and an actuator bar, the actuator bar being disposed in the frame and slidable between a first position and a second position, the spring member being disposed in the frame so as to bend between a locked position and an unlocked position, the spring member being in the locked position when the actuator bar is in the first position and being in the unlocked position when the actuator bar is in the second position;
- and
- a lens attachable to the frame and having one or more tabs projecting away from an inner surface of the lens, the tabs directly engaging with the spring member when the actuator bar is in the first position to prevent the lens from being removed from the frame, the tabs disengaging from the spring member when the actuator bar is slid to the second position.
