We say "goggles are" (not "goggles is"). Some objects that consist of two parts, like "goggles", only have a plural form and take a plural form of a verb.

Follow the same convention with other verbs, like fit, have, look, etc.
Make sure your goggles fit properly. (not "fits properly.")
Conversely, the expression "a pair of goggles" requires a singular verb because "pair" is a collective noun that implies a single entity.
There is a pair of laboratory goggles in the drawer. (not "There are...")
Remember, we always use plural determiners or pronouns (these, those, they, them, many, etc.) with plural nouns, including "googles".
These goggles look cool! Where did you buy them?
