There is a lot of research about the benefits of breathing through your nose versus through your mouth. There is the obvious—your nose filters out more dust and contaminants—to the not so obvious—nasal breathing actually aligns the temperature and humidity of the air you breathe to levels your lungs can better assimilate. If you start panting through your mouth, your blood chemistry goes haywire and fight-or-flight panic sets in.
This is where products like Breathe Right strips and The Turbine come in—they are nasal dilators, designed to widen those passages and increase the volume of air you can move. AC Systems felt they could do it better by integrating a nasal dilator into the optics athletes already wear.
Motocross is very much an endurance sport. The glasses have long arms that travel down the sides of the nose; and at the end of those arms are powerful magnets. Before putting the glasses on, and before starting to sweat, small stickers—like Band-Aids—are fixed to the side of the nose. The magnets from the glasses snap onto metal discs in those stickers and then a small dial at the top of the glasses adjusts the arms in or out, allowing riders to customize the level of nasal dilation they get.
Depends on whether you prefer bugs stuck in your nasal passages or your windpipe. DanielRHicks: Although I've never gotten bugs in my nose while windpipe yes a few times.

I think that breathing through your nose is hardly enough because when you start grasping for air on some climb that raises your HR, you're trying to get as much air in your lungs as possible. Mouth usually gets that done quicker. RobertKoritnik - Agreed, but it's all effort dependent. If I'm just cruising around on a low level ride, nose is fine.
When I crank it up though, definitely gulping the mouth route! In low effort situation it's always the healthiest way to breath in through nose and breath out through mouth but it needs some time to get used to it. Those that do pilates will already be used to this technique. Likely joga guys as well. Show 1 more comment. I wear a wool balaclava when cycling in the cold, as I don't tend to get enough air when breathing through my nose and pushing hard. He then continued to wear it for much of the Tour de France, where he took his second Tour win.
It's the latest in a long line of marginal gains we have seen introduced to the sport by Team Sky, with ideas ranging from taking custom-made bedding to races to Richie Porte eschewing hotels to stay in a motorhome during the Giro d'Italia. A number of other pros have also used The Turbine, with Jack Bobridge employing it during his unsuccessful Hour Record attempt in January All of the very best deals out there on the tech brand's products.
