1 SWIMMING GEAR COLLECTION

2 1 RACING The pinnacle of the Blade series for swimmers competing for 1/100 second Function Blade ZERO, the ultimate competitive swimming goggle with reduced drag and resistance. V-shaped side arm which limits vibration with a wide and intergral structure The V-shaped side arm secures the lens at top and bottom. Movement when swimming at high speed is restrained and flapping and upturning of the strap prevented. Project area cut by a further 5% from conventional Blade products The strap hole has been eliminated to integrate the side arm with the lens. This area has been reduced by a further 5% than the V-120 Blade, providing super low resistance and less drag. A V-shaped side arm has been developed to significantly limit drag when swimming at high speed. The V-shaped side arm is integrated with the lens to reduce resistance. Helps competitive swimmers achieve top performance. V-125A V-shaped side arm reduces drag and secures fit Adjustable split strap AM GBL LV SK

4 3 RACING Explanation The SHINARI Design - Optimal Fit for Racing The joint areas connecting the lens and buckle are made of soft materials so the goggles fit snugly along the contour of the face. Instances of the strap twisting or flapping underwater causing resistance are drastically reduced. Buckle Lens Conventional parts Gap Choose from three different nose bridges Nose bridges come in three sizes (S/M/L). Choose the perfect fit without sacrificing aesthetics. *The goggles are standard with a medium-sized nose bridge installed. One-piece construction prevents leaks A one-piece lens and face-pad construction is utilized, preventing the face pad from losing contact with the skin - a cause of leaks. Resistance reduction and ideal fit putting on Doesn t easily slip off when diving into the water Resistance is drastically reduced while maintaining ideal fit by employing the new cushion structure that buries the space between the face pad and lens when the goggles are worn. not putting on The cushion structure buries the space between the SHINARI structure and face pad to reduce water resistance, and thereby lower the possibility of the goggles slipping off when diving or turning in the water.

14 13 TECHNOLOGY Clear Clear lenses are ideal for indoor use and best for extremely low light conditions. Clear lenses are designed to allow maximum light penetration, giving contrast to dark areas and increasing overall visibility. Smoke Smoke lenses offer good protection on sunny days or during outdoor training. The smoke tint will filter out most of the light, cutting down on reflections and glare. A brown lens tint is similar to smoke but will allow more light penetration and can be a good alternative. Amber Amber lenses are best for medium light and indoor training. Amber allows shadows to appear brighter, and provide better contrast. If you swim indoors or outdoors in slightly overcast or grey weather, an Amber lens is ideal. Blue Blue lenses are ideal for indoor training or low light conditions. The blue tint offers high contrast while reducing glare from visible white light. Green Green lenses filter some blue light and enhance contrast in low-light conditions. The green tint offers high contrast and is versatile indoors or outdoors. Pink Pink lenses are ideal in flat light conditions and recommended for indoor use. The Pink tint helps to enhance depth perception and sharpen features. A pink lens offers little protection in bright light conditions. Brown Brown lenses provide good contrast and best-suited for variable light conditions. Brown lenses are good general purpose lenses and like smoke lenses cut down on glare and reflections.

15 TECHNOLOGY 14 Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Tabata Co., Ltd. is an international sporting goods manufacturer that designs, manufactures and markets a variety of leisure products under the TUSA, VIEW, Reef Tourer and Vitalshot trade names. The VIEW brand specializes exclusively in swimming goggles and equipment. With ISO 9001 certified design, engineering, testing and manufacturing facilities in Japan and Taiwan, Tabata operates under the most stringent quality standards available. Tabata s global network includes facilities in Japan, Taiwan, Australia, Netherlands and the United States. SCUBA/Swim mask circa 1959 Falcon SW-550 goggle circa 1975 Founded by Kazuo Tabata in Tokyo, Japan in 1952, Tabata is one of the oldest swimming and diving companies in the world. From the first handmade mask and goggles built in Mr. Tabata s garage, Tabata products have always been constructed from the finest materials with an unparalleled commitment to quality and innovation. For over 55 years, Tabata has helped to shape the future of recreational sports and our dedicated team will continue to improve the swimming, scuba and watersports experience for future generations. Timeline Tabata first manufactured and sold the Falcon SW-550 goggle developed from knowledge gained from swimming masks Tabata began to sell products under the VIEW brand. The V-1 goggle was developed which employed a soft resin material for the face pad instead of the market s standard sponge pad VIEW became the first brand in the world to develop innovations such as replaceable Rx lenses and Fog Buster lens treatment VIEW developed the first children s specific goggles for ages VIEW developed the revolutionary V-120 Blade, V-130 Shinari competition goggles and the V-820 Selene women s specific fitness goggle. V-3 goggle with VC-4 Rx lenses circa 1991 V-7 Nino Children's goggle circa 1994 VIEW manufacturing facility, Ibaraki branch How to Choose VIEW Rx Lenses Eyesight and the SPH value STEP 1: Test the sample lenses starting with the weakest SPH value, using the chart as a guide. STEP 2: Move your eyes around and choose one that does not cause discomfort. Determining eyesight and SPH values. Simple method for measuring your SPH value eyesight under 0.1 Hold a book outstretched in your hands and move it towards your face. When your eyes can focus on the letters, stop and measure the distance (cm) from your eyes. Divide 100 by this distance, and you will get your nearsighted SPH value. 12.5cm 20cm 33cm 55cm cm Weak Strong SPH values If the focus distance with the naked eye is 20cm, then the eye refraction rate is * A negative symbol is added for nearsightedness, so it is = * See your ophthalmologist or nearest optometrist to have your SPH values measured properly. Why Do My Lenses Fog? The fog is caused by tiny droplets of water created by temperature differences. When goggles are worn, the outside of the lens is cooled by water while the inside is kept warm by body temperature. The difference in temperature arising from this causes droplets to form on the lens, so fine that they can hardly be seen by the naked eye. These droplets diffuse light, causing the fog. This is the same as when cold water is poured into a glass and droplets form on the outer surface. Eliminate fog to achieve a clear field of vision. The anti-fog lens creates an even film of water over the surface of the lens. This absorbs the droplets formed on the inner surface of the lens, eliminating the fog. Because a layer of water has formed, light is not diffused and the swimmer can see clearly through the lens. Based on the same principle, when the surface of the sea is calm, one can see clearly down underwater. If water stains or dirt from your hands get on to the inner surface of the lens, it could cause fogging. To avoid this, please wash the lens thoroughly with fresh water after each use.
