Sable RS922

They may be quite expensive, but for your money you get a smoke tint on the lenses, a carrycase and a selection of nose bridges for a precise fit. But the key sell for the brand is the option for full optical lenses with a prescription of up to -10 plus different left/right options. The […]

Aqua Sphere Kaynenne

Aqua Sphere’s Kayenne goggle is rather large and retains and unusual shape with a low profile below the eye. Because of this sizing it’s not the most streamlined goggle here, and we could feel the water buffering the goggle when diving, making it too big for races with a dive start or fast swimmers. But […]

Blueseventy Hydra-Vision

New Zealand brand Blueseventy’s Hydra-Vision may be larger than your average pool swimming goggle yet they remain streamlined enough to be drag-efficient. They come with a variety of lens options to suit all types of light conditions, with our preference being to opt for a transparent or slightly tinted lens to prevent glare from the […]

Asics Gel-Tarther

This classic-looking race flat is the first time we’ve seen a Japanese-specific creation from the Asics shoe guru, Hitoshi Mimura, in Europe. It’s a simple affair, lacking the bells and whistles that we’ve come to expect from modern running super brands, but without any loss of quality or basic functionality. What remain are lightweight and […]

The T7, as donned by Chrissie Wellington, is lightning fast. This is a real racing thoroughbred with ‘look at me’ styling, a snappy response and a […]

K-Swiss K-Ruuz

K-Swiss has carved out a niche in the traithlon market over the last few years with its new range of shoes and high-profile signings. Our initial impression of its fastest racing flat was mixed. The bowling shoe aesthetic isn’t the best, but looking closer we were pleasantly surprised. The exceptionally low profile with small section […]

Scott T2 Pro

Very occasionally we’re treated to a product that break the mould of traditional footwear. Even rarer is when that shoe is tri-specific. This innovative model from Scott has a collapsible heal to save you valuable seconds in transition – it’s an excellent concept. This does away with the need for elastic laces and the sloppy […]
