Triathlon and swim brand, Aquasphere, has launched its new DEFY.Ultra swim mask for open water swimmers.
According to the company… ‘With first-of-its-kind features including frameless construction and crystal-clear panoramic vision along with eye-catching style, the DEFY.Ultra is in a class by itself. The release of the DEFY.Ultra also marks a special milestone for Aquasphere, which is celebrating 25 years as an industry leader in 2023.’
The new swim eyewear incorporates Cool-Inject Frameless construction and DuoCurve lens technology. Cool silicone is injected directly onto the lens resulting in an ultra-light frameless construction while the spherical and cylindrical combination in the single lens offers a wide field of vision.
These features claim to offer a notable expansion in line of sight for open water swimmers, while also providing a contoured, leak free seal for comfort, durability; and a hydrodynamic shape built for speed.
A low-profile compact skirt brings the lens closer to the eye to further increase the field of vision; and the ergonomic nose piece reduces drag. An integrated rotating buckle attaches the strap to the lens for a fine-tuned fit.
“Aquasphere set the bar high 25 years ago when we changed the industry by creating the very first swim mask, and as a brand, we continue to forge our own path,” said Jessica Fitzsimon, Aquasphere’s Vice President Global Marketing, Brands & Categories.
“The mantra of ‘be limitless’ impacts everything we do as we push the boundaries to redefine the swim eyewear category once again with the DEFY.Ultra. This technologically advanced swim mask leads with never-before-seen design features created to elevate sports performance and inspire the free spirit of swimmers worldwide.”
The DEFY.Ultra is being released in limited quantities with three lens options chosen specifically with open water swimmers in mind. The lens offerings include, yellow titanium mirrored for light protection and enhanced contrast; indigo titanium mirrored with increased glare reduction and enhanced yellow and orange tints; and smoke which protects against bright light and maintains natural colour saturation.
