Clean the foam
Clean the lower cheek foam on both sides with an alcohol wipe. Allow to dry.
Motosz · Airtab
Breathe easier. Ride harder.
Improve nasal breathing while wearing goggles. Airtab uses strap tension to open the nasal valves — more airflow, less fog, seal intact.

On the bike
Hare scrambles. Mouth breathing. Pinched noses. Then we built Airtab.
My son and I ride the local harescramble series, enduros and some motocross. Goggles always pinched our noses and made breathing tough — so I built the airtab. This is the intro.
The pinch
Your goggles are a nasal valve splint — pointed the wrong way.
Lower foam presses on the sidewalls of the nose. On a deep inhale the internal valve collapses, nasal breathing is blocked, the mouth opens, and humid air fogs the lens right when you need to see roots, ruts, and roost.
You can loosen the strap and leak dust. You can cut foam and wreck the seal. Or you can push the cheeks the other direction — the same move ENTs call the Cottle maneuver. This improves natural nasal breathing, decreases mouth breathing and fog.
Passive. Goggle-integrated.
Stick them on. Strap in. Breathe through your nose.
02
Test fit
Align the pad centered on the cheek foam, lined up with the bottom rim. Feel it before you peel.
03
Peel and press
Peel the red liner from the 3M VHB backing. Press firmly for 30 seconds.
04
Strap in
Install goggles normally. Strap tension activates lateral cheek pressure — that’s what opens the valves.
What riders actually notice.
Nasal airflow that holds on the deep inhale
Goggle foam pinches the internal nasal valve. Airtab reverses that collapse so you can breathe through your nose when the heart rate is high — not just on the start line.
Less fog at trail pace and faster
Mouth breathing dumps humid air up into the lens. Keep the mouth closed and the foam seal actually has a chance.
Full seal. No goggle damage.
They sit on the lower foam, not under it. High-bond adhesive, clean release — they have not chewed a lens, frame, or foam on any goggle we’ve run.
Any foam-lined goggle
Built on a dirt bike. Works anywhere a goggle pinches your nose.
The Cottle problem isn’t a motocross problem. It’s a goggle problem. Ski, snowboard, sled, ATV, mountain bike — if the foam presses on the nasal valves and breathing is tight, Airtab is the same 30-second install to correct the problem.
Ski & snowboard
Cold air plus mouth-breathing is a fogged lens on the pitch you need to see. Same foam, same strap, same nasal valves — just more at stake in the trees.
Snowmobile
Helmet on, goggles sealed, heart rate up for hours. Nasal breathing keeps the lens clearer when you can’t lift the goggles.
ATV & UTV
Dust wants a tight seal. A tight seal wants to collapse the valves. Keep the mouth closed and the foam actually does its job.
Mountain bike
Goggles on steep, messy descents. Same Cottle problem at trail pace — airflow on the inhale, less humid dump into the lens.
Motocross and hare scrambles are still home. That’s where we built it.
Honest, because it matters
They’re supposed to come off.
On the hottest, sweatiest days the 3M bond can release. That’s not a defect. The adhesive is strong enough for roost and strap tension, and gentle enough that it has never damaged a goggle we’ve tested. When they let go, they let go clean.
Plan on a fresh pair every few rides. We sell 4, 8, and 12-packs because Airtabs work — and because anything that lives on face foam in July heat is a consumable, not a forever part.
In the van
Pick a pack.
Most guys just grab the 8-pack for twenty bucks.
Designed on the bike and in clinic
Built by a rider who is also an ENT.
My son and I ride hare scrambles in the local OXCR series. Goggles always pinched our noses and made breathing tough. So I built Motosz Airtab: simple pads that use strap tension to open nasal valves, improve airflow, cut fogging, and keep the seal tight.
Made in the USA by a rider — and an ENT — who gets it.
Watch the introQuestions before you peel the liner.
What exactly is an Airtab?
A small asymmetric memory-foam pad with high-bond 3M VHB adhesive. You stick a left and a right onto the lower cheek foam of your goggles.
Will they fit my goggles?
Yes. Universal size fits most goggles. Slight trimming is acceptable for very narrow foam.
Do they break the goggle seal?
No. They ride on the face of the lower foam so the seal edge still meets your face.
How long does a pair last?
Plan on a fresh pair every few rides. On super-hot, high-sweat days the bond can release mid-ride. That’s expected.
How do I install them?
Alcohol-wipe the foam. Test-fit. Peel the red 3M VHB liner and press 30 seconds. Strap in as usual.
