    Strip broken

    I bought these as my prescription swimming goggles, but I’m very disappointed. I only used them four times and the strap already broke. They also loosen up quickly while swimming, which makes it hard to focus on learning. The lenses got blurry very quickly, and it became even worse when swimming fast. For prescription goggles, I expected much better quality.

    Thanks for the feedback and pictures.

    I am not sure you had the strap fitted correctly if it was slipping and it doesn't look broken, just unthreaded.

    The strap should be threaded through the clip first, then through the end of the lens and finally back through the clip. This video may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhX2SSYQdqQ&t=82s.

    The lenses are pre-treated with an anti-fog coating but sometimes this needs topping up.
    The blurriness is due to sweat condensing on the inner lens surface and the amount varies between swimmers.
    A top tip is to put the goggles on while they and you are dry and use extra anti-fog spray before every swim.

    If it helps, here is more information, tips to reduce fogging and a video of how to apply the anti-fog that you may find useful;

    Excellent

    Wife is very happy with this product. She felt it was very reasonably priced , easy to order and easy to assemble. Now she is able to see clearly in both the sea and the pool. Would definitely recommend.

    Good goggles

    Prescription is as described. The goggles fit nicely and are comfortable. However when doing high-intensity movements, the lenses can slip out on rare occasions, causing water to enter. Not a big issue but something to watch out for.

    Hello Jacky
    Thank you for a lovely review. I am sorry to read the lens slips out on occasion.
    I just will get in touch to check if the lens seal is still fitted securely if they were assembled on receipt in July.

    There's a link to a video that is worth watching as it shows the lens fitting technique in more detail;

    We are always happy to take a look and refit lenses if required.

    Excellent prescription swimming googles

    I normally were varifocal glass so I was reticent to try single vision googles but I thought there was not much to lose if they were no good. Put I ordered just using the main power on my prescription rounded down and they work perfectly good enough for swimming and reading signs and lockers keys etc..
