Arena Viper Goggles Review

Arena Viper goggles

So the other day I received a new pair of Arena Viper Goggles and I have to say they’re not half bad. I come from a racing background so, goggle comfort really never bothered me as I would take them off after a 200 swim or less. However, I did find the “Viper” goggles very comfortable. I wore them on and off for an hour and a half and I didn’t have any issues. There were no rings around my eyes or discomfort. I have to say that if you are doing a distance swim or a Triathlon the “Viper” goggle would be great as they are easy to get on and off in a hurry.

What are they mode of?

The make of the Arena Viper goggles is fairly basic but it works. The nose bridge is made from the same silicone just as the rest of the goggles. Over time, however, I’m not sure of the durability within chlorine (by the time I mean 5 years). As far as the eyepieces go which are also made from the same once piece silicone body. The nose bridge is also a form of silicone and they fit quite well.

When you take the goggles off they do seem to suck to your eye sockets. The good thing is that they sick in an uncomfortable way. I didn’t really have the head strap on that tight and the Arena Viper goggle fitted to my face nicely.Arena Viper Goggles Blue The polycarbonate lenses are very clear, and as I had a blue pair this made the pool very clear. Plus with the wide field of vision which for open water swimming is very handy. I found that my peripheral vision was very good, and of course, they have an anti-fog coating. The blue tint to the lens would be good for overcast days and training in a dark pool. However, this might make things a little too bright for a sunny day in the water. So you might need their cousin the Arena Viper Mirror goggles for a little more glare protection.

Overall the goggles do everything that is promised from Arena. As I said they are a good fit, great for distance open water swimming, easy for triathletes to get on and off, and overall a good distance goggle.
