Everything You Need to Know About Racing Goggles

Racing goggles are an essential piece of equipment for competitive swimmers. They provide clear vision, protect your eyes from chlorine and other chemicals, and reduce drag in the water. At Reddiset, we offer a wide variety of racing goggles to suit different preferences and needs.

Types of Racing Goggles

1. Mirrored Racing Goggles

Features:

• Reflective Coating: These goggles have a mirrored coating that reduces glare from bright lights, making them ideal for outdoor swimming or brightly lit indoor pools.
• UV Protection: They often come with UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays.
• Sleek Design: Designed to minimize drag, these goggles are often streamlined and fit closely to the face.

How They Work: The mirrored coating reflects light away from the eyes, reducing glare and improving visibility in bright conditions. The streamlined design helps swimmers move through the water with less resistance, enhancing performance.

2. Clear Racing Goggles

Features:

• Clear Lenses: These goggles have clear lenses that offer excellent visibility, especially in low-light conditions.
• Wide Field of Vision: They often feature a wide lens design to provide a broader field of view.
• Comfortable Fit: Made with soft silicone seals to ensure a snug and comfortable fit.

How They Work: Clear racing goggles provide unobstructed vision, making them perfect for indoor swimming where lighting is consistent. The wide field of vision helps swimmers keep an eye on their surroundings, including competitors.

3. Prescription Racing Goggles

Features:

• Customized Lenses: These goggles can be fitted with prescription lenses to correct vision issues.
• Durability: Made with high-quality materials to withstand frequent use.
• Comfort and Fit: Designed to fit securely and comfortably, even with prescription lenses.

How They Work: Prescription racing goggles allow swimmers with vision impairments to see clearly without wearing contact lenses. The customized lenses provide the necessary vision correction while maintaining the sleek design needed for competitive swimming.

4. Polarized Racing Goggles

Features:

• Polarized Lenses: These goggles have lenses that reduce glare from the water's surface.
• Enhanced Contrast: Polarized lenses enhance contrast and clarity, improving underwater vision.
• Comfortable and Secure Fit: Often feature adjustable straps and soft seals for a secure fit.

How They Work: Polarized lenses filter out horizontal light waves, reducing glare and providing clearer vision. This makes them ideal for outdoor swimming where sunlight reflecting off the water can cause significant glare.

• Long-Lasting: Provides a long-lasting anti-fog effect, ensuring clear vision throughout your swim session.
• Safe for All Lenses: Suitable for use on all types of goggle lenses, including mirrored, polarized, and prescription lenses.
