SWANS SRX MIRRORED

-

£26.50 The SRX are the latest racing goggle from optics specialist­s Swans. They appear similar to their Falcon goggles, but with straps that are rounded instead of flat at the sides. For us, this wasn’t ideal when paired with the very small lenses, as they don’t give a firm fit around the temples and it felt like they were going to slip off. This proved the case when doing some dive tests, and we had to pull them extremely tight to prevent slippage which left unsightly marks after our training session. The most impressive feature is that the lenses provide brilliant peripheral vision considerin­g they’re so small. While they lag behind on comfort compared to others here, it’s worth noting the SRX goggles are also available with prescripti­on lenses for a £20 levy, so if you find the constructi­on manageable we can definitely vouch for the quality of Swans lenses. swansuk.co.uk
