Abstract:

An amphibious sport goggle having a malleable frame and interchangeable lenses. The frame includes a pair of eye cups constructed of a soft, flexible and gas permeable material, preferably 4-way stretch "LYCRA" fabric. A lens is held in place across a first open end of each eye cup by pair of flexible rings sewn into the eye cup and oriented parallel to each other for retaining the lens therebetween. The lenses are interchangeable with lenses having various shapes, colors and optical properties. A third flexible ring is sewn into each eye cup around the perimeter of a second open end for providing additional structure to the eye cup and for providing a seal between the wearer's face and the eye cup. The rings are preferably rubber. An outer layer forms a sleeve around a portion of each eye cup.
