Gear We Love: Zoggs

Zoggs stuck with Dave every step of the way during Swim1000. His goggles of choice are the Predator Flex Polarised open water swimming goggles, which were essential to reduce glare and direct sunlight as he doggy paddled along.

They also come in a fancy blue, white and yellow combo…

With Christmas coming Zoggs make great presents. Dave gave the goggles he wore for the first two weeks to young Bear Gerlach, who was quite happy to say the least and even to this day wears them instead of sunglasses. What a star!

We also used Zoggs towels, including their branded beach towel (above) and each member of the team had a micro fibre Le Towel, too (below)

After much consideration Dave decided that he’d use a small pair of fins during the journey, to better aid him escape from obstacles, wing dykes and other dangers such as barges. He opted for the Zoggs Positive Four Stroke Drive Fins, which made people go ‘ahhhh, he looks like a Platypus’
