The curved lenses allow amazing 180 degree wide angle vision and Aqua Sphere’s signature high-comfort

As a relative newcomer to the UK market, we are proud and delighted to have won such a competitive and prestigious accolade and at the ceremony I was congratulated by many top sports personalities who appeared to find it refreshing that a swim equipment brand had entered this competition for the first time - and won!"
With eye protection for everyone, from elite swimmers to recreational swimmers and children, the Aqua Sphere goggle range delivers great quality and value with goggles starting at only £4.99 srp. Rating the Eagle goggle 9 out of 10 for performance and 9 out of 10 for value in a wear test report earlier this year, 220 Triathlon magazine wrote "Aqua Sphere have a top reputation when it comes to swim equipment – and their Eagle goggle continues to live up to it….Great in open water, especially if the weather or the water itself is murky. Swapping the lenses couldn’t be easier and they remained water tight during testing. They possess a 180 degree field of vision, great watertight sealing, easy-adjust split-back strap and hydrodynamic-styling…Superb."
