Need open water swimming goggles?
Swimming goggles made for open water swimmers are characterized by larger and often dark lenses. These characteristics are aimed at providing optimal visibility in open water situations with bright sunshine. In this situation it is also important that the glasses provide UV protection to protect the eyes. Swimming goggles with self-tinting lenses are the best of both worlds, because they adapt to the environment. So it is also useful on a dark, cloudy day.
Comfort is very important during a triathlon or open water training. The glasses must fit snugly and, above all, not let water through. Open water goggles are often slightly larger in size to provide space for the larger lens. This extra space also provides better comfort and a good waterproof closure around the eyes.
