"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

(4)

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.

(5)

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.

(5)

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.

(4)

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.

(5)

Adjustability

They're RX compatible and available at optical shops which is the ultimate measure of adjustability in a goggle.

(4)

Durability

So far so good, but it's only been a few weeks. A 5 is only warranted after extended periods.

(5)

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.
