Head Out Of The Window At Thirty Miles An Hour
It is the best part of the drive for a dog and the worst part for its eyes: grit, insects and dust arriving at speed with nothing in the way. The Solaris puts a wide wrapped lens in front, seated on a soft foam gasket rather than pressing on bone.
Two straps hold it: an elastic head strap behind the ears and an adjustable chin strap underneath, so it stays put when a dog shakes. The lens wraps to the corner of the eye, which is where sand actually gets in. Five tints, three sizes.
Why It’s Better
- Soft Foam Gasket: The frame seats on foam rather than pressing on bone, which is why a dog tolerates it.
- Two Straps: Elastic behind the ears and an adjustable chin strap, so a shake does not shift them.
- Wraps To The Corner: The lens curves past the eye, where grit and sand actually get in.
- Five Tints: Clear, gray, yellow, mirrored silver or multicolor, for bright days and dull ones.
- Adjusts Both Ways: Sliders on each strap, so the same size covers a real range of head shapes.
- Three Sizes: Head circumference about 8 to 16 in.
Perfect for car windows, beaches and open trails
Dogs that ride with their heads out are not going to stop, and dogs that dig on a beach take a face full of sand doing it. The point of a foam gasket is that the goggle seals against soft tissue instead of bone, so the fit is comfortable enough that a dog forgets it is wearing anything after the first few minutes.
Two straps, and they stay on.
Your Questions, Answered
How do I choose a size?
Approximate head sizing, measured round the head just above the eyes and behind the ears: S 8-11 in, M 11-14 in, L 14-16 in. S suits a Chihuahua, a Yorkie or a cat, M a Beagle, a Cocker or a Border Collie, L a Labrador, a Husky or a German Shepherd. Both straps adjust through sliders, so each size covers a real range. Put the measurement in your order notes if you are between two.
Will my dog keep them on?
Most do, after a short introduction. Put them on indoors for a minute or two with a treat, a few days running, before the first drive. The foam gasket is the reason it works: nothing presses on bone, so there is no sore point for the dog to object to.
Which tint should I choose?
Clear for wind, dust and insects at any hour. Gray or mirrored silver for bright sun, snow and open water. Yellow lifts contrast on gray overcast days, which is why it suits woodland and dawn walks. Multi is the mirrored finish that photographs best.
How do they fasten?
The elastic strap goes behind the ears and the chin strap runs under the jaw, and both adjust through a slider. Two anchor points is what stops a goggle riding up the forehead the first time a dog shakes its head.
Are they comfortable for a long drive?
The gasket is soft foam and the frame is flexible PU, so the weight sits spread across the muzzle rather than on two points. Take them off at stops, the same as you would with anything a dog wears on its face.
How do I clean them?
Rinse the lens under cool water and dry with a soft cloth, and wash the foam gasket with a little mild soap when it gets sandy. Avoid solvents and glass cleaner, which craze polycarbonate over time.
Why these rather than nothing at all?
Because an open eye at speed collects everything the road throws at it, and sand on a beach is worse. A wrapped lens on a foam gasket costs less than one vet visit for a scratched cornea, and your dog still gets to put its head out of the window.
