We've been wanting to make a prescription goggle but have never found a goggle good enough or been able to accommodate the multiple lenses needed. We also wanted to make our fantastic interchangeable goggle even better... So, we made the Altair a prescription lens fit goggle, in addition to the three standard-issue lenses, surely that’s the answer to both our dilemmas!

Its customers asked, so HUUB created a pair of goggles that adapts to their ever-changing needs and conditions. We all know the saying ‘kill two birds with one stone’, the new Altair prescription does just this... Constantly we are asked about prescription goggles, something we have been wanting to do but have never found a goggle good enough, or been able to accommodate the multiple lenses needed with a prescription goggle. You wanted one set of adaptable goggles with interchangeable lenses. And that’s exactly what we created. The world’s only goggles with three different lenses, designed to give you razor sharp vision in different light conditions. So now you simply swap the lens to match your need. It’s the little things that make a difference. When it comes to choosing the best swimming goggles for you, it's a good idea to think about where you'll be doing most of your swimming. If you'll be doing most of your laps in the pool, you probably won't need a pair of goggles with a polarized lens that offers UV protection. On the other hand, if you are planning on doing a lot of open-water swimming, you'll want to keep the sun out of your eyes between strokes. To test the best swimming goggles, we went swimming! We put all of the goggles through their paces in the pool and in open water to look at how well they fit, how good the seal was, and how well the lenses performed in different conditions.

If your swimming goggles keep leaking, despite you adjusting them to fit your nose, and around your head, it might be that they aren't the right pair for you. Despite these swimming goggles being the best on test, they might not be the best for your face shape or bone structure if they keep leaking.

The Altairs have three mirrored lenses (all made from a high-grade poly carbonate) that come in the hard shell case with the goggles. Huub describes them: Designed to offer clarity in any light condition, the Huub Altair Goggles are interchangeable lens goggles that allow you to swap lenses in and out at a moment's notice. Equipped with three different lens types that suit lowlight, pool or outdoor swimming conditions, this is a versatile performance pair of lenses for the athlete looking to really dial in and adapt their performance to the situation. For me the key to a quality set of goggles has to start with comfort and this is magnified when you are considering endurance swims or triathlon events such as an ironman. Wearing goggles for over an hour can become a real chore if you don’t have the right fit which just becomes impossible to ignore over time. Water leakage from the Huub Altair Goggles When it comes to cycling goggles, performance is key. And that's exactly what you get with HUUB goggles. These goggles are designed with the latest technology to ensure that you get the most out of your cycling experience. The lenses are made from materials that offer excellent clarity and protection from the sun's harmful rays. Plus, they're designed to be comfortable and stay in place no matter how intense your cycling sessions get. Stylish and Comfortable The Altair Prescription Lenses are identical to those found in our premium goggle, ensuring that you don’t have to compromise style over function.Overall, the best swimming goggles for you are the ones that fit on your face most comfortably, so we looked at things like whether the goggles had adjustable nose bridges that help ensure a comfortable fit.

The Altair goggles are the only ones which come with three different lenses. Each lens provides incredibly sharp vision in the water and under a variety of light conditions. Focussing wholly on the athlete and maximising performance and comfort, we'll explore both the odd and the conventional to create the best. We are not slaves to fashion, but to form, fit and performance. We believe quite simply that we have delivered what competitors want. What's more, we know our suits work, because the science says so. For open water swimmers plunging into salty oceans, shimmering lakes or fresh-water rivers, Zone3’s Vapour Goggles are the ones you need. With larger lenses, these are some of the most comfortable goggles on our list — and they suit both male and female faces. The polarized version is available in three different colorways — metallic gold, blue, and silver — plus, you can also get your hands on a swanky exclusive Tim Don inspired pair in navy and neon orange. If polarized mirrored lenses aren’t your thing, fear not, they also come in photochromatic and clear pale blue. With comfort also comes reliability and in goggle terms this means a set that don’t leak and mean you won’t find yourself treading water part way round as the seals have failed and allowed water to ingress around your eye. It is very much a personal thing on what goggles deliver a comfortable fit as we all have different sized and shaped heads but the flexibility of the soft silicone gasket seal around the eyes and construction mean the Altair’s offer a quality fit for most people. Certainly all the freak shaped units that shuffle around the Trivelo offices on a daily basis found them comfy! Swimming for over 2 hours tends to mean you are left looking like you haven’t slept for days with bags under the eyes from the goggles pressing against your skull. No such issue with the Altair that allows a quality seal without having to overtly tighten the headstrap. Look and feel of the Huub Altair Goggles One happy customer describes these goggles as “ one less stress on race day, an essential choice for sea and lake swims”.Easy to adjust — you literally just push down on a small button at the side of the lens and then tug on the strap, we were really impressed with both the sturdiness of the strap and how well the lenses of these Kayenne goggles managed to stay fog-free. A recent winner of Best Trisuit Brand of the year, HUUB continues to be at the forefront of sports science and design, producing triathlon clothing worn by elite athletes. The brand of choice for the Brownlee brothers and Helen Jenkins, HUUB is constantly researching innovative ways to maximise the potential of the athletes who wear its products. We also wanted to make our fantastic interchangeable goggle even better... So, we made the Altair a prescription lens fit goggle, in addition to the three standard-issue lenses, surely that’s the answer to both our dilemmas! Choosing open water goggles can feel confusing with the range of options available. Do I need polarised or tinted? What does photo-chromatic mean? And do I want wraparound lenses or something more streamlined? How to choose open water swimming goggles?
