No matter how long the distance I swim in the open water I can always rely on the Surge Goggle to provide comfort without sacrificing durability.

What are Polarized Lenses?
Polarization is used to reduce glare from the sun. Light from the sun comes horizontally, vertically or diagonally. When sunlight bounces off the water of a pool, lake or river it does so horizontally. In order to reduce the glare from water, a film is applied to polarized surface that contains vertical stripes. These stripes allow light to enter vertically, but do not allow the horizontal light off the water to come through, therefore blocking the glare. When swimming, polarized goggles are important as they protect the retina from UVA/UVB and reduce eyestrain that is essential during long open water swims.
