Why does fog appear on my swimming goggles?
Fogging is mainly due to the temperature difference between the body and the water.
As the body is warmer than the practice environment, fogging occurs on the inside of the lenses through evaporation.
As a result, every micro-drop of perspiration will stick to the inside of the goggles.
In fact, it’s a bit of luck: with a new anti-fog treatment, all these drops will eventually combine to create a film of water through which you can see clearly.
The anti-fog treatment
Activate the anti-fog by dipping the mask in water, then wiping the inside of the lenses with your finger (do not rinse them again after this step).
If fogging returns (roughly every 40 sessions), clean the inside of the mask with a neutral liquid soap (avoid bar soap) to remove the layer of residue that has built up.
Don’t worry about scratches: this new technology is highly resistant to abrasion.
Durable, effective anti-fog technology: Adhesion layer (or primer)
Applied directly to the inside of the lens, it ensures perfect adhesion of the anti-fog treatment. It protects it from the effects of water, heat and friction, maintaining its stability and performance over time for enhanced durability.
Durable, effective anti-fog technology: The anti-fog coating
Applied on top, this coating contains hydrophilic agents that prevent fogging. Instead of forming opaque droplets, moisture spreads into an invisible water film.
In addition to delivering effective anti-fog performance, this layer also improves scratch resistance, extending the lifespan of the goggles.
Size: how to choose your swimming mask
The watertightness of the mask depends on the fit of the silicone skirts to the shape of the face.
Before buying your mask, we recommend that you carry out the “suction cup” test without the elastic band. Position the mask over your eyes; if it holds on by itself with a little suction, it will be watertight once in the water. This test can also identify areas of discomfort or annoyance on the face.
How to properly fit your swimming mask
A swimming mask that fits the shape of your face does not need to be excessively tight.
A mask that is too tight can cause discomfort, leave marks and even create water inlet holes.
It is not necessary to press against the lenses with your hands, a light suction effect is usually enough for swimming sessions without water inlet holes.
The straps ideally should rest 2-3 cm above your ears.
This position with optimise the grip and comfort of the mask.
Lens tint
The colour of your goggles should be suited to your swimming location and its lighting.
If you swim outdoors or in a pool with harsh lighting, prioritise goggles with smoked lenses to limit the glare.
If, however, the pool is quite dark with low lighting, winter evenings for example, use clear lenses.
UV protection
Complies with standard: Q/BT 4734 -2023, all our swimming goggles protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays when used normally, regardless of the lens tint.
Looking directly at the sun is dangerous and can lead to irreversible eye damage.
CARE - PRECAUTIONS
Rinse your goggles in fresh water after each use.
Over time, the surface of the coating can become clogged with impurities (perspiration, make-up, sunscreen), leading to fogging.
Clean the inside of the lenses with neutral liquid soap (do not use bar soap) and rinse thoroughly.
If fogging persists, use our anti-fog marker to help restore the protective water film.
Not exposing it to temperatures of over 60°c.
