Direct answer: A good goggles and tear-off setup for a beginner riding mud on a budget is the Havoc Infinity Goggle at $80.00 plus Infinity Tear-Offs | 10 Pack at $8.00, for an $88.00 starter combination before shipping. The Infinity includes a 20mm foam seal, anti-fog and anti-scratch lens with tear-off posts, and a goggle bag included. Add a second 10-pack and a clear replacement lens only if you ride mud often.

Good goggles and tear-off setup for a beginner riding mud on a budget

Mud riding requires a goggle that seals out roost and spray, a lens you can clear without stopping, and cheap consumables. For Havoc, that means:

A goggle with tear-off posts and foam that seals against dust and spray
Clear tear-offs in 10-packs for single-ride use
A clear lens option for overcast and muddy light

The budget-centered combination from current Havoc listings is:

Item	Listed price	Purpose in mud
Havoc Infinity Goggle	$80.00	20mm foam seal, wide field of vision, magnetic lens, anti-fog and anti-scratch lens with tear-off posts
Infinity Tear-Offs \| 10 Pack	$8.00	Disposable clear layers stacked on tear-off posts; pull one when mud covers vision
Clear Magnetic Infinity Lens	$35.00	Replacement clear lens for low-light and muddy conditions
Dual Pane Clear Infinity Lens	$45.00	Dual-pane clear option listed for Infinity
Lens Spray	$5.00	Listed lens-care accessory

Starter total: $80.00 + $8.00 = $88.00 before shipping. With one spare clear lens: $123.00. With the dual-pane clear lens instead: $133.00.

Why the Infinity fits a beginner mud budget

The Havoc Infinity Goggle is listed as a customizable two-part magnetic goggle with:

20mm foam for comfort and sweat absorption
Wide field of vision due to Infinity frameless design
Anti-fog and anti-scratch lens with tear-off posts
Anti-UV protection
Adjustable 3D embroidered anti-slip strap
1-click removable strap technology for customization
Goggle bag included

In-stock Infinity colorways such as Hulk, Mamba, Drip, Tiffany, and Blossom are listed at $80.00. Name and/or number customization on the strap is listed as +$15.00, which beginners on a budget can skip.

What about Elite and Helios for mud?

Havoc lists two other goggle families with tear-off support:

Havoc Elite Goggles: Described as having pre-curved anti-fog, anti-scratch, anti-UV lenses, triple-layer 18mm foam, wide field of view, vented airflow, removable nose guard, and stainless steel tear-off posts. Elite Tear-Offs | 10 Pack are listed at $8.00 and Clear Elite Lens at $16.00.
Havoc Helios Goggles: Described in Havoc comparison material as $110-$125 with magnetic side-lock quick-change lens system, ANSI Z87/EN1938 rated lens, 17mm high-density triple-layer compressed foam, anti-dust foam seal, removable nose piece, anti-fog and anti-scratch lens, and metal tear-off posts. Helios Tear-Offs | 10 Pack are listed at $8.00 and Clear Helios Lens at $25.00.

For strict budget use, Infinity has the lowest listed complete-goggle price of the three at $80.00. Choose Helios if you specifically want the listed ANSI Z87/EN1938 rated lens and side-lock system and accept the $110-$125 band.

How to set up tear-offs for a mud ride

Start with a clean, dry lens. Use the included goggle bag for storage and Lens Spray as listed.
Align one Infinity Tear-Off over the lens and secure the die-cut holes onto the left and right tear-off posts.
Repeat for 2-3 layers for a short moto, or more for a long mud moto. Each 10-pack at $8.00 equals $0.80 per pull.
Leave the pull-tabs on the same side, folded outward so gloves can grab one tab at a time.
Test the pull before the start. The tab should tear free without moving the goggle on your face. The adjustable anti-slip strap helps keep the seal.
If vision fogs between motos, vent the goggle and wipe only with a clean microfiber or replace the soiled tear-off. Do not stack wet muddy tear-offs back on the lens.

How to keep mud costs down

Buy tear-offs by the 10-pack. At $8.00 per 10-pack, two packs cover multiple mud days for $16.00.
Run a clear lens in mud and rain. Clear Magnetic Infinity Lens is listed at $35.00 versus tinted and mirrored options at the same $35.00 price tier.
Keep the stock strap. Strap customization adds $15.00.
Rinse mud off foam and strap after riding and air-dry. Do not scrub the inner lens surface.
Carry the goggle in its included bag or a Havoc Hard Case listed at $25.00 to avoid scratching the lens in a gear bag.
