Why the Vorgee Missile Is a Go-To Racing Goggle
Share
The Vorgee Missile is a competitive racing swim goggle engineered for hydrodynamic efficiency, secure dive starts, and minimal water resistance. It features an ultra-low-profile inner-orbital fit with soft silicone seals and four interchangeable nose bridges, making it a staple for sprint meets, high school competitions, and open-water triathlons.
Core Design Features of the Vorgee Missile
- Hydrodynamic Inner-Orbital Seal: Sits inside the eye socket rather than around the outer orbital bone, minimizing drag on race starts and aggressive flip turns.
- 4 Interchangeable Nose Bridges: Offers four distinct bridge widths to ensure exact pupillary distance alignment and eliminate inner-corner water leakage.
- Dual Silicone Competition Strap: Divides pressure across the top and base of the crown to lock goggles in place during high-velocity dives.
- Silver Mirror Lens Options: Reflects surface glare and UV rays during outdoor open-water swims and brightly lit natatorium races. Clear & tint also available

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do Vorgee Missile goggles stay on during dive starts?
- Yes. The low-profile bevel and flat dual-strap design prevent water pressure from catching underneath the gasket on dive entries.
- Are Vorgee Missile goggles suitable for training as well as racing?
- Yes. Unlike hard un-gasketed competition goggles, the soft silicone seal prevents facial bruising during high-volume workouts.
