FAQs
Are these goggles suitable for everyday training?
Yes, while optimized for racing, their anti-fog, UV protection, and secure fit make them suitable for regular training sessions, especially if you swim in bright conditions.
How do I clean the mirrored lens?
Rinse with clean, cold water. Avoid using abrasive cloths or chemicals, as they can scratch the mirror coating. Gently pat dry with a soft cloth or allow to air dry.
What does 'FINA approved' mean?
FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation) approval means the goggles meet the technical and safety standards set by the international governing body for swimming, making them legal for use in official FINA-sanctioned competitions.
Can I replace the head strap?
The head strap is typically integrated. If it breaks, it is usually recommended to replace the entire goggle unit.
Will the mirror coating wear off?
The mirror coating is designed for durability, but like all coatings, it can be susceptible to scratching if not cared for properly. Avoid touching or rubbing the lens surface.
What is the main advantage of the double head strap?
The double head strap is designed to offer a more secure and stable fit compared to a single strap, reducing the chance of the goggles slipping during intense swimming or diving.
Troubleshooting
Goggles leak around the eyes.
Ensure the double head strap is adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit. Make sure the silicone seals are clean and making full contact with the skin. Try repositioning the goggles slightly on your face.
Lenses fog up quickly.
Rinse the inside of the lenses with clean water before swimming. Avoid touching the interior surface of the lenses, as this can damage the anti-fog coating. Consider using a dedicated anti-fog spray if the issue persists.
Straps are too tight or too loose.
Adjust the tension of the double head strap using the buckle or slider mechanisms. Find a balance that provides a secure fit without causing discomfort or pressure points.
