Smoke Lenses - Competition

In this category you'll find some of the best competition swim goggles with smoke lenses. They are generally very versatile and can be used for both training and competition as they combine the best of both worlds. Usually, the colour of the lenses are very specialised for the purpose for which they are intended, but with a pair of swim goggles with a smoke lenses, you'll be able to use them in a variety of environments.

The best thing about a pair of competition swim goggles with smoke lenses

Generally speaking, you can compare a pair of swim goggles with smoke lenses to a pair of sunglasses. This means that where you would wear sunglasses on land, they will give you the same effect in water.

Smoke lenses reflect a lot of the bright light and glare from the surface of the water while still providing good visibility, making it easier for you to orientate yourself in the water.

For this reason, they are also the most favoured for triathlons as it protects the eyes well from sunlight, glare and sudden flashes of light, while the good visibility makes it easy to navigate landmarks or buoys on the water. Therefore, they are almost a hybrid between swim goggles with a clear lenses and swim goggles with a dark mirror lenses.

Use swim goggles with smoke lenses for the right thing

Just because they're a good mix of the best of both worlds, they also have some minor disadvantages. Since clear lenses provides you with a natural view, it makes them suitable for use in water where visibility is not very good - even in low light conditions. There, a pair of swim goggles with smoke lenses will be hindered by the lower the light conditions, the less you can see. A bit like a pair of sunglasses in the evening when the sun is setting.

On the other end of the spectrum, swim goggles with mirror lenses are the most effective against bright light conditions and strong flashes of light. A pair of swim goggles with smoke lenses will not be able to reflect bright light away in the same way. They still offer some protection, but if you have very light-sensitive eyes, it can be a nuisance - especially during competition.

That said, most swim goggles with smoke lenses work just as well outdoors as they do indoors. This also means that with the same pair of goggles you can, for example, swim laps in the pool and compete in open water - or vice versa. That's what makes them so versatile.

However, we would still recommend that you have one specific pair of swim goggles for competition and one or more pair for training. There is no reason to wear out your competition goggles with smoke lenses unnecessarily, as they should be in the best condition for competition.

Even though the swim goggles with smoke lenses you find on this site are of high quality, each use will wear them down little by little. Therefore, you risk the lenses becoming scratched, the straps loose and the skirt less tight-fitting. All of which is something you definitely don't want in the middle of a competition.
