TYR Socket Rockets 2.0 Racing Goggle

I swam for over 15 years, including 4 years NCAA Div 1 college swimming. I always used "Sweedish goggles", mostly because of price, low profile and great peripheral vision. These goggles have all that plus a nice slim rubber gasket around the eye sockets that make this an extremely comfortable fit. Since I've been "retired" for nearly 10 years from competitive swimming, and now doing triathalons, the comfort of these really help for long workouts and competitions. They hold up really well in salt water.Recommendations:1. Get bungee straps. The laytex straps that come with this are standard, and they will rot with prolonged chlorine usage unless you're really good about washing your goggles off after every practice (which nobody does).2. Use the string for the nose bridge. Very few people will find success of using the rubber goggle strap as a nose bridge.3. Replace the lenses every 6-12 months. The anti-fog on these goggles is OK, but if you're really picky and must have your goggles crystal clear, expect to replace them every 6+ months. If you can easily handle fog, then replace them 12 months.

After purchasing the Intex 55685 Water Pro Goggle and being extremely disappointed by the fact that they were horribly difficult to adjust, leaked, and one of the suction cups around the eye fell off and got lost after a week and a half, I tried these out. I love these goggles. Very easy to adjust the size, they fit comfortably, and work great all around. As some other customers pointed out, I do have a slight issue with the goggles fogging up occasionally, but it doesn't happen frequently enough to make it a problem for me. I highly suggest these goggles, especially if you're looking for cheap ones.

I like that these goggles can be custom-fitted to your head and eyes, but they may be small for those with larger eye sockets. It takes a lot of adjusting to fit, but once it is adjusted to your liking, it works great. The center nose adjustment may bother some if there is any excess slack. Not for everyone.

I have used all kinds of goggles through my swim career. I was a little concerned about the price but I am pleasantly surprised by the quality and practicality of these goggles. They are very comfortable and you almost forget you have them on. The red lenses are very cool. They take a minute to adjust but once they are fitted they are awsome. No leaking problems so far. Swim on brothers and sisters.

I bought 3 speedo goggles and this TYR goggle after reading lots of reviews. I was disappointed with the quality of the TYR. We went swimming twice and spent a lot of time trying to adjust these goggles so they would work for my daughter. They are very difficult to adjust as their is only one plastic piece that holds both sides of elastic. When you try to tighten one side, the other side gets loose. My daughter's hair kept getting pulled into the plastic piece as I was trying to do a slight adjustment. Because of the number of good reviews, I think they must work once you get them perfectly adjusted, we just never got there after wasting most of our swim time for two weeks. The speedos on the other hand, worked for every person in our family without any adjustments. The quality of materials was noticeably better (in the speedos) at a glance. They worked... no water in our eyes. The TYR were constantly leaking water into my daughter's eyes even though we probably spent 30 minutes each week working on adjusting them. I tried them as well to see if they might work better on a different face, but had no success at all in keeping water out of them. I am returning these and getting speedo vanquishers.

These are really great goggles. I hope that if you're reading this and getting into swimming, you give these a try. I swam for about 20 years on youth and school teams and always wore Swedish goggles. These combine the performance of the Swedish style with a rubber eye gasket for comfort. The best of both worlds and for the price, you can't go wrong. Skip all of the fancy eyewear and stick with the basics that work

Great indoor or outdoor pool usage. Comfortable, no leaks

Don't love the nose strap but starting to get used to it. I like them when they don't leak.
