This feature has long since been a part of cycling glasses design and therefore many of our triathlete readership expecting this and Huub leading the way with a clever design that enables this.

We've been wanting to make a prescription goggle but have never found a goggle good enough or been able to accommodate the multiple lenses needed. We also wanted to make our fantastic interchangeable goggle even better... So, we made the Altair a prescription lens fit goggle, in addition to the three standard-issue lenses, surely that’s the answer to both our dilemmas! When it comes to choosing the best swimming goggles for you, it's a good idea to think about where you'll be doing most of your swimming. If you'll be doing most of your laps in the pool, you probably won't need a pair of goggles with a polarized lens that offers UV protection. On the other hand, if you are planning on doing a lot of open-water swimming, you'll want to keep the sun out of your eyes between strokes. If your swimming goggles keep leaking, despite you adjusting them to fit your nose, and around your head, it might be that they aren't the right pair for you. Despite these swimming goggles being the best on test, they might not be the best for your face shape or bone structure if they keep leaking. The Altair is the perfect partner when you want to switch between prescription and non-prescription lenses (ideal for training vs competition use).

The adjustable nose bridge allows you to tweak the goggles for a more secure fit. Although, it’s worth noting that this feature isn’t a ‘must have’ for kids, beginners, and more casual pool-goers, but adjustable nose-bridge pieces do tend to come as standard for intermediate and advanced swimming goggles.
