Why Goggles Steam Up

Goggles steam up due to the condensation of water vapor on the lenses. This happens when there is a temperature difference between the inside of the goggles and the surrounding environment. When warm, humid air from your skin and breath comes into contact with the cooler surface of the lenses, it cools down and forms tiny droplets of water, creating a foggy layer. This is particularly common when swimming in cooler water or transitioning between different temperatures, such as moving from a warm locker room to a cold pool. Understanding this process helps in adopting effective strategies, like using anti fog treatments or equalizing the temperature of your goggles and skin, to minimize fogging and maintain clear vision underwater.

Tips for Choosing the Best ZONE3 Anti Fog Swimming Goggles

When selecting the right pair of ZONE3 anti mist swimming goggles, consider the following factors:

1. Lens Type and Tint

  • Clear Lenses : Ideal for indoor swimming or low-light conditions. They let in maximum light but do not reduce brightness or glare.

  • Tinted Lenses : Suitable for outdoor swimming or bright environments. Smoke tinted lenses reduce glare, blue tint lenses enhance clarity in low-light. Both tints improve contrast and are good all rounders.

  • Mirrored Lenses / Polarized Lenses : Reduce glare from the sun and reflecting water, perfect for open water swimming.

  • Photochromatic Lenses : Automatically darken in brighter conditions and remain clear in darker conditions. Ideal for the changing weather when swimming outdoors.
