"This review is for the "Standard Goggle": Very comfortable. But they are a love them or hate them goggle as some swimmers may not be able to get them adjusted. I have used these for more then 20 years. Always a good seal for my face. 3 nose bridges come with the goggle and a adjusting tool. "peggyswims

Ease of installation

Nose bridge may need adjusted by cutting bit by bit. This is some what hard to get adjusted for some swimmers. Double head straps adjust easy

(3)

Ease of use

Once adjusted they go on easily but watch out not to drag the foam across your face or cap as it can be loosened from the goggle = leak.

(4)

Quality of Construction

Very good materials, The anti-fog however is not so good and may need removing after a few swims. They should leave this off.

(5)

Fit

Excellent. I can wear them for hours

(5)

Comfort

Extremely comfortable, no marks around my eyes.

(5)

Adjustability

Two head straps and the adjustable nose bridge allow a good adjustment system

(2)

Durability

You have to be careful with the foam seals. keep the goggles protected in your swim bag. they will conform to your face after a few swims.

(4)

Value

Expensive twice the cost of most goggles today, However a replacement foam seal and strap kit is available for less then 10 dollars. The kit and some polishing make them good as new. To me worth the price for the fit and comfort

(3)

Appearance

Foamy "Swim Nurd" comfortable goggles.

(5)

Performance

For me there great. The Standard is not as wide as the B-300 goggle by Barracuda and fits with a swim cap better. A Tip: if you can't get them to seal and wear a swim cap push the cap back a bit on the side so the goggles seal on your face not on the cap.

Strengths

A comfortable goggle that leaves no circles around eyes , good vision field ,can be worn for hours. They come in many lens colors and frame colors if you order them. Also they are available with prescription RX .

Weakness

Hard to get adjusted for some. The anti fog does not last. I have polished it off the goggles with tooth paste on some that I have had. A very popular goggle several years ago they can be hard to find now in stores as they are more expensive then all others.
