"A high quality goggle, the best I've used to date. I'm very impressed with these and would need some convincing to race with a different brand."marmadaddy
Quality of Construction
I tried to beat these up. They stand up well.
The lenses are "scratch-resistant" rather than "scratch-proof" but I've purposely kept them loose in my gear bag for 2 weeks and the lenses are still pristine. That's a first.
Fit
They come with 3 different nose-bridges so they should fit just about any width adult face. I have a wide head and these fit beautifully.
Comfort
Forgot I had them on, which should be the case with any good goggle.
The single strap on the recreational model has a tendency to slip on my head which is kind of annoying.
Adjustability
They're RX compatible and available at optical shops which is the ultimate measure of adjustability in a goggle.
Durability
So far so good, but it's only been a few weeks. A 5 is only warranted after extended periods.
Performance
Vision is good both in and out of the water. This means that at the pool I don't have to take the goggles off to check the clock and when racing sighting is much easier whether it's a buoy cable, another swimmer's feet, a buoy or a landmark across a lake.
Strengths
Clarity! I PR'd my half iron distance swim using these and I'm sure that the fact I could sight so well with these was a factor.
They haven't fogged on me at all, and they stay put.
I also like the fact that they come with a simple, usable carrying case.
Weakness
The single strap on the recreational models makes it tough to find just the right spot for it. Triathletes/ Masters swimmers should stick with the competitive line.
Ease of use
I like the strap. It's very easy to adjust but stays put. Double strap on the competitive models, single for the recreational models.
Changing out the different nose-pieces is also straight forward.
