FAQs
What makes the Soft-Seal frame special?
The Soft-Seal frame is made from hypoallergenic liquid silicone that molds to the contours of your face, offering a comfortable, 'second skin' fit that minimizes leaks and irritation.
How much UV protection do these goggles offer?
The lenses provide maximum UV protection, blocking 99-100% of the sun's harmful UV rays, making them suitable for outdoor swimming.
Are the tinted lenses good for all lighting conditions?
The colour tinted lenses offer medium protection, ideal for sunny days or bright indoor pools. They might be too dark for very low-light indoor conditions.
How do I maintain the anti-fog feature?
To maintain the Fogbuster anti-fog coating, avoid touching the inside of the lenses. Rinse with fresh water after use and store them properly. Do not use cleaning chemicals on the inside.
What is included with the Zoggs Otter goggles?
The product includes one pair of Zoggs Otter swimming goggles.
Can I use these for competitive swimming?
While they offer good performance for recreational use, competitive swimmers might prefer goggles with more advanced anti-fog technology or specialized lens tints for specific competitive conditions.
How do I clean the goggles?
Rinse with fresh water after each use. If necessary, gently wipe the lenses with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Goggles leak around the eyes
Ensure the Soft-Seal frame is properly seated against the skin. Adjust the head strap for a more secure, but not overly tight, fit. Check for any hair or debris interfering with the seal.
Lenses fog up quickly
Rinse the inside of the lenses with clean, cold water before use. Avoid touching the inner lens surface. If fogging persists, consider a dedicated anti-fog solution specifically designed for swimming goggles (ensure it's compatible).
Strap adjustment is difficult
Gently pull the ends of the slide adjust clip apart to loosen the strap. Ensure the strap is not tangled. If the clip feels stiff, try moving it back and forth a few times.
Discomfort or pressure points
Readjust the head strap to a less constrictive fit. The Soft-Seal frame is designed for comfort, so significant discomfort may indicate the strap is too tight.
