Goat heads can and will go through most stuff, including the interior kevlar bands at times. The bands can introduce their own problems; beyond weight and reduced rideability, they can also cause flats on their own if improperly installed. Main issue is protecting against all the other stuff out there. The GP4000s or Krylions are probably what I would try first.
