I have used several different brands of goggles with my contacts over the years and was overjoyed when I ran across these. I debated a brand I am familiar with but reading the reviews, I had to admit I wasnt really liking them for many of the reasons mentioned with that product, so, I took a chance. You cannot go wrong for the money with these, they fit comfortably, could substitute for my regular glasses in a pinch, and after a small amount of adjusting they are very leak proof with a wide field of vision. The strap adjustment is a bit tedious to manipulate, but that is a definate good thing, once you have them 'dialed in' there is no chance they will slip or move out of adjustment as it uses a very clever locking mechanism to lock the straps in place, rather than the double strap through a buckle design that seems all to prevelant. My eyes are in between the available powers offered so, I went with the closest step down from my prescription, figuring the additional distortion of the water would even things out, but, I see quite clearly with them both in and out of the water. If you need some vision correction, and don't like fiddeling with contacts in the pool as I do not, you simply must own these goggles. 5 stars The following review received 7 helpful votes out of 7 total votes: Review Date: 2007-01-19 "Best Optical Swimming Googles" This is a great pair of swimming goggles. I swim a couple of times a week and I can't see a thing without my glasses. This pair is very comfortable and does a great job correcting my vision. I can't imagine swimming without them. They have a wide field of vision, the adjustment is easy to use, and stays adjusted. I've never had a problem with leaking. For less then twenty dollars you can't go wrong. They are the best goggles I have ever owned. Much better then the other brands.

The price has been gradually coming down each year. I was surprised to find them so reasonably priced at Amazon of all places. These fit well, adjust easily and are extremely durable. I swim 6 days each week and I can easily get over a year of use from each pair. Typically the gaskets begin to deteriorate long before the lenses, when used daily outdoors in chlorinated pools. Keep them stored safely so the lenses don't scratch and rinse them in clear water after swimming and you'll be thoroughly satisfied with your purchase. 5 stars The following review received 1 helpful votes out of 1 total votes: Review Date: 2007-06-03 "Great goggles, can be tailored to your prescription" I can confirm what the others have said: These are great goggles. Review Date: 2007-06-19 "not good for small faces" I like these goggles in terms of they way you can see peripherally, and the prescription is great. Also, the quick adjust straps are great. However, if you have a small face (like mine) and normally use women's or junior goggles, these will be way, way too big for you. I can't get a seal no matter what. 3 stars | |
