SPEEDO FASTSKIN ELITE

£47 Speedo’s top-end Fastskin Elite goggles now have a neat strap adjustment system that puts all the excess strap within the same loop, so you don’t get any overhang. There’s also a tension scale so you can get it spot on every time. Speedo’s IQfit technology is responsible for the leak-free lenses that you fit to the frames yourself out of the box. They offer a wide field of vision, yet have a hydrodynamic shape for minimising drag. Despite their aggressive shape, swimming in them is pleasant, and the silver mirrored lens tint is fine for all light conditions. The build-your-own lenses and adjustment system might seem convoluted to some – and there’s no getting over the fact that £47 is a lot to pay for goggles – but we guarantee you won’t be disappointed if you want a race-fit goggle that’ll see you through at least a year of regular pool training. speedo.com/uk
