Polarising goggles

Australian swim brand Vorgee has launched the country’s first polarised swimming goggles – the Osprey.

Vorgee’s Osprey goggles use the same type of polarising lenses found in leading sunglass brands. Vorgee first had the idea a couple of years ago when they kept hearing complaints from open water swimmers of the problems they were having with reflective glare off the water and its affect on their vision and performance.

The Vorgee design team ran with the concept and began to research the kinds of polarising lenses worn by other sports people – cyclists, skiers, sailors – who need to perform to a high level in glary, reflective environments. Their findings were then applied to swimming goggle technology and the Vorgee Osprey was born.

Osprey goggles feature polarised, UV-protected, anti-fog coated, enlarged lenses

that provide zero distortion and optimum viewing clarity, no matter what the

conditions.

SPLASH! recently tested the goggles, and found they also work exceptionally well for underwater photography.
