HUUB - Aphotic Photo-Chromatic Goggles - 2020

A regular best-seller, these goggles will react to the light; maximising your vision in accordance with your surroundings.

Goggles are an extremely important investment for outdoor swimming, and possibly one of the most important items to be sure you pack for every race day.

They keep you safer in the water, helping you avoid obstacles and other swimmers. You will be able to swim with confidence when you can see clearly and know exactly where you’re going - helping you to save time during the critical first moments of a race.

An early race start could mean setting out in early morning cloud, yet within half an hour the sun could be shining and obstructing your line of vision. These HUUB goggles, which are ideal for race day and training alike as they adapt to their surroundings, help you avoid such problems. The goggles are coated in a patented dye that is triggered into action by exposure to UV rays. When the UV rays weaken or disappear, the lenses will lighten or darken accordingly. So as you progress through the course and your environment changes, the goggles adapt to help maximise your view.

The lenses take only 160 seconds to go from clear to dark delivering ultimate performance for every turn of every buoy.

Special patented photochromic dyes cause the lens to activate, or darken, when exposed to ultraviolet rays from sunlight. When the UV light level lowers, the lenses fade back. As light conditions change, the level of tint adjusts, offering the right tint at the right time.

The 'Aphotic' swim goggle is HUUB's first step towards achieving 'goggle perfection'. It's suitable for use indoors and outdoors and in any light condition.

These goggles are designed to fit the face perfectly with a density of silicon and TPR matched to create a perfect fit and a feather like feel even on the most interesting of facial profiles.

For a great swim you need a comfortable fit and to be able to see as much as possible while having as much light as possible blocked out when the sun is high or the water is highly reflective.

These goggles are supplied in a clamshell zip case.
