FAQs
Are these goggles suitable for open water swimming?
While the mirrored lenses reduce glare, which is helpful in sunny conditions, these goggles are primarily designed and FINA-approved for pool swimming. For open water, visibility in varied conditions and impact protection might be different considerations.
How do I clean the mirrored lenses?
After each use, rinse the lenses with clean, cool water. Avoid using soaps or abrasive materials. Gently shake off excess water and allow them to air dry or pat them carefully with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not rub the mirrored surface.
What is the benefit of the hydroscopic lens?
The hydroscopic lens helps to absorb moisture, which in turn can reduce the tendency for the lenses to fog up, providing clearer vision during your swim.
Can I replace the silicone head strap?
The head strap is typically integrated with the SpeedFIT Back Clip system and is not designed for easy replacement. However, the double silicone construction is durable for standard use.
What does FINA approved mean?
FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation) is the international governing body for aquatic sports. 'FINA Approved' means these goggles meet the regulations set by FINA for use in official competitive swimming events.
How many nose bridge sizes are included?
The goggles typically come with multiple interchangeable nose bridge sizes (e.g., S, M, L) to allow swimmers to achieve a personalized fit and ensure a watertight seal.
Troubleshooting
Goggles are leaking
Ensure you have selected the correct nose bridge size. Adjust the head strap for a snugger fit without overtightening. Make sure the silicone seals are clean and flush against your skin.
Lenses are fogging up
Rinse the inside of the lenses with clean water before use. Avoid touching the inside of the lenses. If fogging persists, consider using an anti-fog spray specifically designed for swimming goggles (ensure compatibility).
Difficulty adjusting the strap
Familiarize yourself with the SpeedFIT Back Clip mechanism. Ensure the strap is threaded correctly. If the strap is difficult to move, check for any debris obstructing the clip.
Mirrored coating is scratched or peeling
Avoid touching or wiping the mirrored surface. If damaged, the anti-glare properties will be compromised. Refer to care instructions for proper cleaning.
