Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to budget open water goggles, ZONE3 Vapour offers superior anti-fog longevity and a more ergonomic seal. It competes with the Arena Cobra Tri and Speedo Fastskin Pure Focus, but stands out for its affordability and comfort for longer swims due to its softer gasket. While not as low-profile as elite racing goggles, the Vapour is a reliable mid-range option for triathletes.

How to use it

1. Rinse the goggles with fresh water before first use to remove any residue.
2. Adjust the strap tension by pulling the clips, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.
3. Press the goggles onto your eye sockets to create a seal before pulling the strap over your head.
4. For open water, wear the goggles under your swim cap to keep the strap secure.
5. After swimming, rinse with cold water and air dry in a protective case.
6. Replace if anti-fog degrades or if the seal becomes compromised.
