"Good for those w/ allergies to the chemicals in the local pool. My post-swim sneezing has gone down considerably. The re-adjusting is annoying, but thankfully I don't need these for longer OWS, just local in-pool training."danimal123

(4)

Ease of installation

Fits OK at first, but I had to really compress the ends together to get it to "squeeze" more tightly (and I have a big noze).

(4)

Ease of use

Does what it's supposed to, but it slides up (toward my eyebrows) and out (away from my head), requiring re-adjustment every 500m or so.

(4)

Quality of Construction

I rinse it after every swim and it's holding up fine, except the attached strap is liiking a little beat up. Still works, though.

(3)

Fit

Again, it seems loose on me, and I have a large-ish nose. I can imagine this would be more of a problem on regular-nosed folks.

(5)

Comfort

Very comfy.

(3)

Adjustability

Not very adjustable. You can squeeze the ends together to make it tighter, but that;s abiut it.

(4)

Durability

Four months of two (occasionally three) swim workouts/week and it's holding up OK (except for the strap becoming discolored).

(5)

Value

Slips a bit, but for $4.00 US it's a good deal.

(3)

Appearance

Looks goofy, but that's not the clip's fault.

(0)

Customer Service

Never dealt w/ TYR directly.

(4)

Performance

I give it a "4" b/c it slips after 500m or so. Until that point, it works well, but I'd be leery in a race situation where youwouldn't want to stop and re-adjust.

Strengths

Durable, works well for 500m or so, cheap.

Weakness

Starts to slip after 500m (9 min for me) of swimming, requiring adjustment.
