Conquest Speed Swimming Goggles with Case

A smaller, lower-profile frame that sits closer to the face, sealing more on the eye socket than on a thick gasket. Less drag, a cleaner line off the wall, and a fit that has to be right because there is less soft material to compensate.

Less so than a wide-gasket comfort goggle, and that is the trade. For a 45-minute training session most people are fine; for hours in open water, a softer-gasketed pair is kinder.

Press them onto your eye sockets without the strap. If they hold by suction for a second or two, the shape fits you. Then use the strap to hold them in place, not to force a seal - overtightening causes ring marks, not a better seal.

Either the anti-fog coating has worn off, or you have wiped the inside of the lens. The coating is a microscopically thin layer and a finger or a towel takes it straight off. Rinse and shake dry instead of wiping, and when the coating finally goes, replace them.

Goggles loose in a swim bag get scratched lenses within weeks, and a scratched lens cannot be repaired. The case costs nothing and doubles the useful life of the goggles.

Yes, with a fresh-water rinse afterwards. Salt dries hard in the gasket and in the strap adjusters and is harder on goggles than chlorine.

Speed goggles are usually too narrow across the nose for small children. We stock junior goggles - tell us the age and we will point you to the right ones.

Rinse in fresh water after every swim - chlorine and salt both attack the silicone and the anti-fog coating. Never wipe the inside of the lens, which removes the anti-fog layer; just rinse and let them dry face up. Keep them in their case, not loose in a bag.
