Elastomeric Technology Collection Swim Goggles

Elastomeric Technology Collection Swim Goggles is an innovative aquatic eyewear design that revolutionizes swimming goggle technology through its advanced comfort and visibility features. This groundbreaking design, which earned the prestigious Platinum A' Design Award in the Sporting Goods, Fitness and Recreation Equipment category, incorporates proprietary Elastomeric technology that prevents excess pressure buildup around the eye socket through an ingenious system of ridges and grooves inspired by technical diving equipment. The design's distinctive feature lies in its specialized gasket construction, which creates an accordion effect that allows the seal to dynamically contour to the wearer's face during the breathing cycle, providing superior comfort during extended use. The goggle's engineering excellence extends to its Clear Sight Technology, which employs split-angled lenses to deliver 180-degree peripheral vision without distortion, a significant advancement over traditional curved lens designs that typically cause eye fatigue. Developed through extensive research incorporating principles of Snell's Law and underwater pressure dynamics, this innovative design emerged from a comprehensive two-year development process that began in 2012. The collection's technical sophistication is further enhanced by its dual injection frame construction and liquid silicone Elastomeric gaskets, which work in harmony to create a water-tight seal while maintaining user comfort. This design represents a significant advancement in aquatic equipment design, successfully addressing the longstanding challenge of combining optimal visibility with extended wearing comfort in swimming goggles, making it particularly valuable for fitness swimmers and competitive athletes alike.
