Product Information
Full details
The Arena The One Mirror Swim Mask in Blue is designed for recreational and regular swimmers seeking clear vision and a comfortable, watertight fit. Its key benefit is the Orbit-Proof seals that adapt to various facial profiles, providing exceptional leak prevention. A potential consideration is that while designed for most faces, individual fit can vary. Key features include anti-fog, mirrored polycarbonate lenses for glare reduction, soft silicone seals, an extended field of vision, a split strap, and UV protection.

FAQs
Is this mask suitable for competitive swimming?
While designed for regular swimmers, its features like clear vision and a secure fit can be beneficial for recreational or training swims. For highly competitive, narrow-fit racing goggles, other models might be preferred.
How do I maintain the anti-fog property?
Rinse the inside of the lenses with clean water before each use and avoid touching them. The anti-fog coating is designed to last, but repeated contact or improper cleaning can reduce its effectiveness.
Can I use this mask for diving?
This mask is designed for surface swimming and is not intended for deep-water diving, which requires specialized equipment.
What does 'mirrored lenses' mean for swimming?
Mirrored lenses have a reflective coating that reduces glare from the sun and bright lights. This is particularly useful for outdoor swimming and triathlons, improving visual comfort and clarity.
How durable is the silicone material?
The silicone seals are designed for durability and comfort, offering a soft, flexible fit. Proper care, including rinsing and air drying, will help maintain their longevity.
What is the main advantage of the 'Orbit-Proof seals'?
The Orbit-Proof seals are engineered to adapt to a wide variety of facial profiles, aiming to provide a consistent and watertight fit for most users by minimizing potential leak points.
Does the mask come with a case?
Please refer to the product packaging or retailer information for details on whether a protective case is included with your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Mask leaking water
Ensure the mask is properly fitted. Adjust the split strap for a snugger fit. Check that the Orbit-Proof seals are clean and making full contact with your skin. Ensure hair is not caught under the seals.
Lenses 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 a dedicated anti-fog solution (ensure it's compatible with polycarbonate lenses).
Strap is difficult to adjust
Pull the ends of the split strap firmly but carefully. If the adjustment mechanism feels stiff, ensure there is no debris caught in it.
Discomfort around the eyes or nose
Loosen the strap slightly. Ensure the self-adjusting nose bridge is positioned correctly. The mask might not be the ideal fit for your specific facial structure; try a different model if discomfort persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the mask and remove any protective film from the lenses.
- Place the mask over your eyes and nose.

- Cleaning: If necessary, clean the lenses gently with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly. Never use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the mask to air dry completely in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not use heat to dry it.
- Storage: Store the mask in its protective case (if provided) or in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
