Fitting goggles correctly is essential for comfort and a watertight seal, allowing for clear vision during water activities. The process involves a few key steps to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
Step-by-Step Goggle Fitting Guide
Follow these simple steps to fit your goggles properly, ensuring they stay in place and keep water out:
- Place goggles over eyes. Position the eye cups directly over your eyes, ensuring they make contact with the skin around the sockets.
- Fit strap over the back of the head. Bring the strap around the sides of your head and rest it against the back, typically above the ears and towards the crown of the head.
- Adjust strap to a firm and comfortable fit. Tighten or loosen the strap through the buckles on the sides until the goggles feel snug against your face without causing excessive pressure or discomfort. The goal is a secure fit that doesn't feel too tight.
- Adjust nosebridge for a comfortable watertight seal. If your goggles feature an adjustable nosebridge (either replaceable pieces or a sliding mechanism), modify it so the distance between the eye cups perfectly matches the width of your nose bridge. This adjustment helps the eye cups sit flush against your face, creating a seal that prevents water from entering.
By following these steps, you can achieve a proper fit that enhances your experience in the water.
