Who are Arena Air Sonic goggles suitable for?
The Arena Air Sonic was developed for competitive swimmers looking for a compact swimming goggle with a special focus on comfort. The lightweight design and close-fitting seals make it suitable for both competitions and intensive swimming training.
Especially when you train regularly, you want swimming goggles that stay in place without having to constantly tighten the headband. The Air Sonic focuses on that combination of stability and comfortable pressure distribution.
Furthermore, the Air Sonic Mirror is approved by World Aquatics (formerly FINA). Therefore, you can also use this version at official competitions where approved swimming goggles are required.
Are you primarily looking for roomy swimming goggles for recreational swimming? Then a model with larger seals might be more comfortable. The Air Sonic has a compact competition fit.
When choosing competition swimming goggles, the fit around your eyes remains more important than just the design. Therefore, also compare the other Arena competition swimming goggles models if you are not yet sure which fit you are looking for.
What makes CloudFlex comfortable while swimming?
The key technology of the Arena Air Sonic is CloudFlex. This soft seal can be compressed and adapts to the contours of your face. As a result, the pressure around your eyes is better distributed.
That is especially pleasant during longer training sessions. Competition swimming goggles must fit snugly, but do not need to press unnecessarily hard against your face.
Additionally, CloudFlex helps keep the goggles stable. Combined with the streamlined design, this makes the Air Sonic suitable for swimmers who want to maintain a compact fit during competitions.
The wide lenses also play an important role. They offer a broad view to the sides, helping you keep track of your surroundings and swimmers in neighbouring lanes.
Comfort remains a personal matter. The shape of your face ultimately determines how well the seals fit. Therefore, a model with soft seals is not automatically the best choice for every swimmer.
How do you adjust the Arena Air Sonic correctly?
The Arena Air Sonic comes with three interchangeable nose bridges. This allows you to adjust the distance between the lenses to the shape of your face.
Always start with the nose bridge before tightening the headband. Both seals must fit evenly around your eyes. If the nose bridge is too wide or too narrow, the glasses may not seal properly on one side.
Next, adjust the double headband. By placing the bands slightly apart at the back of your head, you distribute the tension and help prevent the glasses from shifting.
How tight should the Air Sonic fit? The head strap needs enough tension to keep the goggles in place during starts and turns. Overtightening offers little benefit and can increase pressure around the eyes.
Test the fit during a relaxed training session. Pay particular attention to the fit when pushing off the wall or making a turn. Do the goggles stay in place and feel comfortable? Then the adjustment is likely suitable for your swimming style.
Which Air Sonic lenses suit your swimming pool?
At Sneppies, you'll find the Arena Air Sonic Mirror with mirrored lenses. This version is worth considering if you regularly swim in a brightly lit pool or train outdoors.
Mirrored lenses help reduce bright light and glare. However, the reflective finish alone does not tell the whole story about how much light a lens lets through. The tint of the glass also plays an important role in this.
Arena offers the Air Sonic Mirror in different lens colours and levels of light transmission. A darker lens is more suitable for bright conditions, while a lighter version may feel more comfortable in less brightly lit pools.
Therefore, do not just choose a color you find beautiful. Pay particular attention to the conditions in which you usually swim.
The Air Sonic Mirror also features an anti-fog coating and UV protection. To help preserve the anti-fog coating, avoid unnecessary touching or rubbing of the inside of the lenses.
