FAQs
Are these goggles suitable for competitive swimming?
The Zoggs Otter goggles are primarily designed for recreational swimming and training due to their emphasis on comfort and ease of use. While they offer good vision, competitive swimmers might prefer models with a more hydrodynamic profile.
How do I maintain the anti-fog properties?
Rinse the lenses with clean water after each use and allow them to air dry. Avoid touching the inside of the lenses. The anti-fog coating is a treatment and will naturally diminish over time with use.
Can I wear these for diving or snorkeling?
These goggles are designed for surface swimming. For snorkeling or diving, specialized masks that provide a watertight seal around the nose are generally recommended.
What is the benefit of clear lenses?
Clear lenses offer maximum visibility and do not alter color perception, making them ideal for indoor swimming or overcast conditions. They provide an unrestricted view of your surroundings.
How do I clean the goggles if they get dirty?
Gently rinse them with clean, cold water. If needed, use a mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cloths, as they can scratch the lenses or damage the anti-fog coating.
What does 'Maximum UV Protection' mean?
It means the lenses are treated to block 99-100% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, helping to protect your eyes from sun damage, especially when swimming outdoors.
Are the materials hypoallergenic?
Yes, the Soft-seal gasket is made from unique hypoallergenic liquid silicone, which is gentle on the skin and reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
Troubleshooting
Goggles leak around the eyes.
Ensure the Soft-seal gasket is clean and making full contact with the skin. Adjust the slide adjust clip to achieve a snugger fit. Try repositioning the goggles on your face.
Lenses fog up quickly.
Rinse the lenses with fresh water before swimming. Avoid touching the inside of the lenses with your fingers. If fogging persists, the Fogbuster treatment may be depleted; consider replacing the goggles.
Strap adjustment slips during use.
Ensure the hair is not caught in the slide adjust clip. Double-check that the clip is fully engaged after adjustment. If the strap material is worn, consider replacing the goggles.
