Nootca 5 Swedish Goggle

nootca 5 swim goggle - first sketch - prototype - first out of the mold


Our swede goggle is gaining in popularity and with that come questions.  So far one of the biggest questions is how did the goggle get its name.  I have to admit creating a name for any product or company is one of the hardest things I've done, past or present.  Although, that has not been the case with the current goggle line-up.

Nootca 5:
During the design phase I'll sketch out ideas, work out how to manufacture the lens and create a look for the goggle. This may take up to 100 sketches and numerous reworks to get the goggle right. While creating each sketch I will number them and refer back when needed.   On this project the 5th sketch out of 38 was the right starting point - the Nootca 5 was born.
