ARENA COBRA ULTRA MIRROR

The Cobra Ultra is Arena’s flagship competition goggle, with an ultra-low profile lens and mean appearance for the ultimate starting block poker face. The deep mirrored tint is surprisingly versatile and is fine for indoor and outdoor pools. Although they’re very slim, they do offer plenty of peripheral vision. You get five nose bridges included and the silicone dual strap is simple to use, even if there’s too much excess strap overhang on a mediumsized head. It’s worth noting when we say low profile we mean very low profile, to the point where one of our fellow swimmers complained they could actually feel the lenses pressing against their eyelashes. It goes without saying that if you get the opportunity to try before you buy then it’s advised, but if you don’t mind a close-fit then the Cobra Ultras are very good race goggles. arenawaterinstinct.com
