THIS GOGGLE IS DESIGNED FOR:

Maximum forward visibility in open water—so you can sight with less head lift, hold better body position, and swim straighter with less effort. It also helps you find—and follow—the feet in front of you more easily.

How? Instead of a flat, forward-facing lens that looks straight down in the water, the R1 features a patented 11º tilt that lets you see in the direction you're moving—for straighter, faster swimming.

PATENTED INTERNATIONALLY

CHALLENGE
Performance in open water = SWIMMING FAST + SWIMMING STRAIGHT.The challenge: Swimming fast requires optimal form and efficiency, and swimming straight requires sighting – the equivalent of hitting the brakes.

PATENTED DESIGN
Reduced architecture along the top frame of the goggle accommodates a retroscopic lens angle, radically opening the forward field of view. Patented internationally.
_
FORM & COMFORT
The R1 has a smaller form factor for improved hydrodynamics, and its innovative construction and design enhances comfort.

An ultra-soft but protective TPR gasket for comfort, along with a firmer nose bridge ensures the goggle stays securely in place.

Reviews

Unparalleled vision and sighting

"The lens angle technology is unparalleled. Being able to see ahead without having to lift your head and eyes as high is huge. And you get a way bigger and better picture of your surroundings in the water"

Gerald R. (5/5)

Awesome for races, not for training

"These are incredible at what they're designed for - accurate sighting in the open water. For training though, these ride on your orbital bone a little harder than comparable goggles in this price range. Additionally, they are a bit too bright if you're just swimming outdoor in peak sunlight. I absolutely recommend for a race, but don't expect to also use these as your daily driver."

William D. (4/5)

My new favorite.

"I am quite easy when it comes to goggles, but have been looking for a good one for a while. Well, that search is over. These are my new favorite ones. Even got a second pair. They fit amazing, great visbility, and zero fogging. Can't wait to take these to open water soon."

Carlos A. (5/5)

Amazing field if vision and blue color

"I love these goggles but they are just a spec too wide for my eyes so i have to frequently readjust to let out the water."

Deborah E. (4/5)

Allen B. (5/5)

Nice Goggle - bad fit

"Overall I wanted to like these goggles. I like the lenses and the look, but unfortunately they didn't work for my face and I wasn't able to get them to stop leaking from the sides."

Stephan D. (3/5)

Fast delivery, the package was

"Fast delivery, the package was well close but the goggle box was open. . was not really great for a gift. It didn't look new"
