Swimming goggles for
Triathlon - choose properly at the Sportano storeDuring a triathlon competition, swimming is the first and one of the most important disciplines, the outcome of which affects the entire competition. Triathlon swim goggles are not just a simple accessory, but a key element that can affect the comfort, visibility and overall performance of the athlete during the swim.
In the Sportano shop, you will find high-quality swimming goggles for triathlon from renowned brands such as HUUB, TYR, Zoggs, ZONE3, Orca or FINIS.Types of goggles: from regular to specialised
modelsIn the world of water sports such as triathlon, the variety of swimming goggles is impressive. For beginner swimmers, ordinary pool goggles may seem sufficient, but for those who participate in open water competitions, specialised models are essential. Regular swimming goggles tend to be lighter, have smaller lenses and are ideal for short distances in the pool. They are also relatively inexpensive, making them a popular choice among recreational swimmers.
However, triathlon requires more. Specialised swimming goggles for triathletes are designed to maximise visibility, comfort and performance when swimming in a variety of conditions. They can have a wider field of vision, which is essential when swimming in a crowd. Some are also equipped with solar or polarised lenses to help combat glare and improve visibility when swimming in bright conditions. In addition, many specialised models offer improved sealing, which is key for long distances in open water.Lens technologies: Anti Fog, polarised and
colour-shiftingIn the world of triathlon, where seconds can make the difference between winning or losing, the right choice of lenses in swimming goggles is key to achieving optimum performance. Today's lens technologies are designed to provide the athlete with as much comfort and protection as possible, while allowing maximum visibility in a variety of conditions.
Lenses with Anti Fog technology are one of the primary technologies used in swimming goggles. Fogging up the lenses while swimming can seriously disrupt visibility, which can be not only frustrating but also dangerous in a crowd of swimmers. This is why most modern goggles are equipped with an Anti Fog coating, which effectively prevents condensation on the lens surface. Thanks to this technology, the athlete can enjoy clear vision throughout the race.
Another important aspect is the polarised lenses. Swimming in open water, especially on sunny days, means having to deal with solar glare that can distract and impair visibility. Polarised lenses filter out horizontal rays of light, eliminating glare and providing better visibility even in the most difficult lighting conditions.
Modern triathlons often take place in a variety of weather conditions, which is why colour-shifting lenses have become increasingly popular. These special lenses automatically adjust their colour depending on the intensity of the light. In bright conditions they darken to protect the eyes from excessive sunlight, while in darker conditions they become lighter for better visibility. Variable colour lenses offer a versatile solution for swimmers who want to be prepared for different light conditions.
Today's lens technologies are a combination of science and innovation, aiming to provide swimmers with the tools to help them achieve their maximum performance during triathlon competition. When choosing swimming goggles, it's worth paying attention to these key features that can make a significant difference to comfort and performance in the water.Choosing the right fit and sealWhen it comes to swimming goggles, fit and seal are two of the most important factors. Even the most expensive, advanced goggles will be ineffective if they do not fit properly on the face. When choosing goggles, it is important to test several different models and sizes to find the one that best fits your face shape.
The fit is based on a few key elements: the width of the nose, the shape of the eye sockets and the distance between the eyes. This is why some manufacturers offer glasses with interchangeable nosepieces that allow you to adjust the distance between the lenses.
Sealing is another important aspect. The ideal glasses should create a tight seal around the eye sockets without causing discomfort. Materials such as silicone are often used in eyewear seals due to their softness and flexibility. If your glasses are leaking or causing irritation, it is likely that they are not fitting properly.
In triathlon, where comfort and performance are key, the proper fit and seal of swim goggles can make a significant difference to an athlete's experience in the water. By investing time and attention in choosing the perfect model, swimmers can focus on what matters most - improving their technique and achieving the best possible results.
