    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;

    My head isn't that huge!

    But I found the strap very short

    Hello Dan
    If you re-order in future, try them on at home and before ordering, check the headstrap lengths we have added to the Product Information.
    The B&S has an unstretched strap length: 546mm.

    Superb

    Arrived quickly and secure, quality goggles providing excellent vision underwater. Only bugbear is the strap could be an inch longer as it is close to the limits at the sides of the goggles, probably my big head 😂

    Poor value

    Uncomfortable eye shape, leak, fog , strap is too short (way shorter than standard googles) to the point I can't adjust them. Disappointing.

    Hello Nigel
    We are always happy to refund or exchange (unworn in water) returned prescription goggles for a pair that fit your face and eye contour shape.
    We strongly recommend watching our short Fitting Video here to identify whether a goggle will leak or not before a swim;
    https://www.prescription-swimming-goggles.co.uk/pages/fitting-guide

    Headstrap lengths vary too, we have added these to the Product Information for each goggle.
    The B&S unstretched strap length is 546mm compared to similar clear lens goggles -
    Swans SRX 533mm
    Reef 560mm
    Arctic 585mm
    iWave 600mm
