Vorgee Vortech swim goggles review

Forming part of their ‘extreme fitness’ range, Vorgee sell the Vortech goggle in a choice of clear or smoked lenses.

>>> Best open-water goggles review 2015

We had the clear version on test here which would be fine for overcast days and if you’re looking for a budget-priced goggle to use both in the pool and outside, but we’d be happier with a tint on the lenses if there’s any chance of the sun’s rays making an appearance.

Once on, these goggles fit well with soft, leak-proof rubber seals. They have a deep profile and curved lenses meaning there was no risk of the lenses touching our eyes – although the lenses were much smaller, which meant that when looking to the side the black seals were somewhat visible.

Generally these felt excellent quality, although we had a slight concern over how long the thin straps would last. Also, the lack of clips meant the excess strap was left flapping, which was a bit irritating.

Verdict: Well worth a punt if you’re not a fan of tinted lenses, 80%
