Looking for the best Burning Man Goggles in 2023!? Well, you’ve come to the right place, because I’ve got quite an impressive selection to choose from to protect your eyes out there in the harsh desert!
You probably already know that goggles, glasses, and dust masks are essential to surviving a week in Black Rock City! The weather conditions can be pretty intense out there in the desert, and the playa dust can really destroy your skin and eyes, so you want to make sure you’re well-protected out there.
While there are countless different options, I’ve compiled this list of what I think is the perfect collection of Burning Man Goggles and glasses for all budgets! Take a quick read below, browse through some of the designs, and please let me know what you think!
Also, be sure to read my full guide to Burning Man Accessories, Clothing Ideas, and Costume Essentials for more ideas on how to look your best and survive out in Black Rock City!
1) Revision Military Desert Goggles
I just discovered these stylish and perfectly constructed desert goggles that are perfect for Burning Man, and I can’t wait to wear them out in Black Rock City this year! Not only do they look extremely good (I’m obsessed with this desert beige color), but these Revision Military Desert Locust Goggles have amazingly positive reviews for their durability, comfort, and fog resistance!!
They’ve got several different color designs as well, with lenses that adjust automatically to shifting light conditions. While they may be a bit expensive, they are built to exceed stringent U.S. and international ballistic impact requirements for use in Military tactical operations!
“Fine-tuned lens curvature and sleek frame architecture maximize the visual field-of-view for unhindered surveying in fast-moving scenarios. Precision-manufactured lenses for distortion-free vision. Undeniably constructed for the rigors of combat, robust design, high-impact materials, flexible shock absorption”
While there are a ton of the market, I’d argue that these are the best burning man goggles on the market! I’ve also included a review YouTube video below to watch if you want a closer look at the product.

2) Zionor Lagopus Snowboard Goggles
While there are tons of different snowboard Goggles that will look great at Burning Man, I think these might just be my favorite! The Zionor Lagopus Snowboard Goggles is the #1 Best Seller on Amazon, so you know they must be doing something (if not everything) right! They’ve got seriously amazing reviews, ten amazing different designs to choose from, and an incredibly affordable price for the quality of the product!!
“Optimized Performance Goggles – Solid & durable lens, enhanced anti-scratch, and smart ventilation system. Full Protection for Eyes – Anti-fog and 100% UV Protection treatment on the double-layer lens. Crystal view on the slope when skiing and snowboarding. Comfortable & Warm – High-density woven strap with great elastic and superior sponge covers your face providing top anti-wind features.”
I’ve actually picked up a couple of pairs for myself Burning Ma this year because I couldn’t just pick one from all of their different designs!!
Price: $29.99 (View Photos, Browse Designs & Check Availability)
3) Galactic Halo Customized Burning Man Goggles
Looking for something a bit more bedazzled, shiny, and playa perfect…? Well, then I’d suggest you take your Burning Man goggles to the NEXT LEVEL and order something from the gorgeous Galactic Halo collection!
The hardest problem is actually choosing one though because all of their designs are remarkably stunning!
Their goggles are well constructed, equipped with adjustable straps, PC Silver mirror lenses, and are 100% UV Protection.
Any of their customized Burning Man goggles would really make your burner outfits POP, and you’ll be looking sexy as hell out on the playa. I’d suggest reading through a few of their reviews because everyone loves them!
Prices vary: $50 – $175.00
4) Steampunk Victorian Style Goggles
For people looking to focus a bit more on style compared to practicality, then this pair of Steampunk Victorian glasses would be really cool!
“These vintage Victorian style goggles with double magnifying eye loupes are an excellent addition to any cosplay, LARP, costume, rave, or convention outfit. The stunning azure blue lenses, sleek black finish, and shining bronze compass rose design on either side keep you stylishly well-equipped. Wear them over your eyes, on your head, around your neck, rest them on the brim of your hat, or even display them as a piece of decor”
While these are not the most practical for desert goggles for Burning Man, they’ll look amazing when paired with the right outfit! If you purchase these, I’d also recommend bringing another pair with you around your neck or in your bike, as you’ll want to be prepared!
5) BURNING MAN ‘No Vent’ Dust Free Cyber Punk Goggles
If you’re on Etsy, there are tons of amazing and different Burning Man goggles available, and these are some of the most popular and well-reviewed pairs! There are over 1,700 positive reviews from this top-notch fantastic seller!!
“This listing is for a pair of brand new, dust, dirt, debris, and fog-resistant goggles, that include cushion face padding, and adjustable elastic straps. There are NO AIRVENTS in these goggles to assure a 100% dust-free experience. You can choose from either matte black, or chrome frames; and the impact-resistant, non-breakable lenses come in a variety of colors.”
Don’t venture out on the PLAYA without them!

6) CRG Vintage Aviator Pilot Style Goggles
I’m a big fan of this type of aviator style of Goggles, and they really look fantastic out on the Playa when worn with the right outfits! These CRG Vintage Goggles have a bunch of different color schemes available and come with multi-color reflective lenses, scratch resistant, and 100% UV protection.
There is a comfortable soft sponge padding, but if it’s really hot sometimes it can get a bit sweaty. For the price point though, they’re definitely a solid purchase. I think they look great on top of a hat, or worn around the neck as well.
What I really love is that you can customize the frame/ lens colors to make some epic combinations that will have you looking amazing, but also prepared for the desert storms.
