Huub Altair Swimming Goggles (Interchangeable Lenses)

Product Information

The Altair Prescription Lenses are identical to those found in our premium goggle, ensuring that you don’t have to compromise style over function. We also considered extras, like whether the swimming goggles came with a case, or handy travel bag, or multiple nose grips. The last thing you want is a scratch down your new goggles, so we looked out for this when testing. How to choose the best swimming goggles for you

Finally, whatever level of swimmer you might be, it's a good idea to select a pair of swimming goggles that can easily be adjusted. Look for things like an adjustable nose bridge, which will help the goggles sit comfortably on the bridge of your nose, and prevent you from having to adjust them each length of the pool. How do you stop swimming goggles from leaking?

With a soft, flexible silicone gasket that disperses any pressure around your eyes, these goggles fit comfortably and softly against the skin for a better feel. A PU nosepiece with three separate interchangeable bridges, these goggles can be fitted to a variety of nose shapes and offer you a perfect fit. Durability has been a question mark over some of the Huub range of wetsuits where they have focused on performance and comfort but this could come at the sacrifice of the strength of the products. Do the Huub Altair goggles suffer with the same issue? Hard to tell at this stage but in my view this is less of a consideration when buying goggles. Personally I expect a set to last me 3 to 6 months when I routinely tend to replace them so a set of strong goggles that will last me years doesn’t really feature in my decision criteria. Given this and most people more concerned with the comfort and performance of a set of goggles Huub are unlikely to find many dissatisfied customers. Value for Money of the Huub Altair Goggles Tinted lenses are designed to help you see in different light conditions while swimming outdoors. Smoked lenses reduce bright light and glare, amber lenses reduce some glare while also enhancing visibility, while pink/violet lenses are designed to reduce glare in moderate light. If you will be using your goggles in the pool as well as outdoors, consider a lighter tint. Mirrored lenses also reduce brightness and help cut out glare. Some swimmers enjoy the psychological advantage they feel that mirrored lenses give them in races by psyching out their competitors! Our aim is to create better products combining research, science and reality. Team Huub has 4 decades worth of experience gained in the field of endurance sports (yes, we've done the miles, but still have the passion!).

When it comes to goggles for open water swimming, a comfortable fit and the ability to see clearly in all given light conditions outside are the two most important factors. Huub released their top-of-the-line Altair goggles with this criteria in mind, and created a first-of-its kind google that offers three interchangeable lenses to help you get that perfect vision no matter how light or dark it is while you’re swimming outdoors. Here’s why the Altair is the ultimate choice for the triathlete who hasn’t found what they’re looking for yet in the perfect open water goggle: Comfort priortized One step up from tinted and mirrored lenses are polarised lenses. They work the same as polarised sunglasses, reducing glare while also making everything look sharper. Good for swimming in bright sunlight, reducing glare off the surface of the water – and also exploring underwater! 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.

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. HUUB strive to deliver what competitors want and following a huge amount of requests for a prescription goggle they believe they have created the perfect solution.

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.
