description The Magic 5,

Once the scanner is completed correctly, the manufacture of glasses is started according to the client's physiognomy. In just 2 weeks you receive the glasses at your home!

They offer three models to buy: orange, black or with mirror. We opt for the mirror with the idea of ​​being able to test them in open waters and then we tell you about our experience.

Settings

  • The glasses are presented in a caring case with 3 sizes of interchangeable bridges.
  • They have a practical and simple system to exchange the bridges that in turn is safe during swimming, preventing them from being dismantled at any time.
  • In addition, the rubber is adjustable by the back and held by a piece that prevents loosening during use.

Comfort

  • The inner part of the spectacle is covered by a wide silicone layer that allows a very strict adjustment to the contour of the eye.
  • The fact of presenting a double rubber of high resistance also allows a more comfortable hold on the head.

Pool vs Open Waters

  • Its use in the pool is suitable both for situations of high luminosity and in situations in which the sun reaches the pool glass.
  • In low light situations it can be somewhat dark.
  • In open water its use also in suitable, given that the version with mirror allows orientation without being dazzled by the sun

We summarize our pleasant experience with the Magic5 glasses highlighting the strengths and points to take into account when assessing your purchase and the type of use:

Strengths:

  • Adequate delivery times
  • Good quality material
  • Variable bridge adjustment
  • Good quality double rubber
  • Multipurpose use for swimming pool and open water (mirror version)

Points to consider:

  • At first, it may take a while to find the right pressure setting
  • In open water tests if you have a chance accident you could be hurt by the silicone format presented.

Recommended for:

  • If you do swimming training in open water, mainly the model with mirror.
  • If you compete in swimming or open water tests with no mass outputs, due to the tight size of your suction cup.
