    Silicon seal kit lens fitting useless

    Silicon seal that fits around lens does not stay in place, this leads to them not sealing properly and filling up with water, I have followed the instructions and it is nothing to do with incorrect fitting of the kit, every time I put them on the silicon seals come away from the lens

    Strip broken

    I bought these as my prescription swimming goggles, but I’m very disappointed. I only used them four times and the strap already broke. They also loosen up quickly while swimming, which makes it hard to focus on learning. The lenses got blurry very quickly, and it became even worse when swimming fast. For prescription goggles, I expected much better quality.

    Thanks for the feedback and pictures.

    I am not sure you had the strap fitted correctly if it was slipping and it doesn't look broken, just unthreaded.

    The strap should be threaded through the clip first, then through the end of the lens and finally back through the clip. This video may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhX2SSYQdqQ&t=82s.

    The lenses are pre-treated with an anti-fog coating but sometimes this needs topping up.
    The blurriness is due to sweat condensing on the inner lens surface and the amount varies between swimmers.
    A top tip is to put the goggles on while they and you are dry and use extra anti-fog spray before every swim.

    If it helps, here is more information, tips to reduce fogging and a video of how to apply the anti-fog that you may find useful;

    Fabulous goggles

    I regularly swim but I am as blind as a bat so cannot see the clock or the timer very well, I bought these goggles and lenses and now can see perfectly well, they were delivered in speedy time and are well worth the money, highly recommend these goggles.

    Great Value

    The goggles themselves are very good and the pricing is great value in my opinion. My only grumble would be that they come in parts that you need put together yourself, which sounds easy but is actually a bit of a fiddle.
