Sprint Swim Goggle

SEE UPDATE BELOW--- These goggles are so good, they don't leak EVEN when they are old and at the end of their life span! I was so impressed today, I had to come post this review. I was wearing a pair that I've had for almost two years of heavy use in chlorinated water, under the sun, and kept in a very dry gym locker room. As I was ready to get into the pool I noticed that, as it happens to all foam-gasket goggles eventually, the foam was torn. A bit of the foam clung to the goggle, and the rest was peeling apart like a ring. But I decided to give it a try anyway. I made sure to apply extra pressure to secure the goggle to my face through suction (that's how it stays in place). And then I swam. I swam for almost 50 minutes, doing flipturns and not changing a thing about my stroke. And I didn't get a single drop of water inside the goggle. I am seriously impressed. I've been wearing these goggles for over a decade, mostly because they are the only ones I find comfortable for my face type, and because I also find them very leakproof. The foam might not last forever--after all, it is foam, not silicone--but even silicone wears out (dries, shrinks, hardens). And these goggles are so very affordable. I was already a total fan (every time I try a fancier goggle I regret it and go back to this), but today, even more. (I'm still replacing the torn goggles, of course, but I'm glad they served me in my time of need). Please, Speedo, never ever discontinue these. PS. To those who complain of leaks or a bad fit... With goggles, it's all about how well a goggle fits your particular facial features. A goggle that works wonders for some might not for others. You have to try out several, and really the proof is in the swim, not in trying them out dry at the store. UPDATE: I have to agree with the reviewers that say the quality has gone down. My latest pair has leaked from the very start. The pair before that one lasted only a few months. Speedo must have changed something in the material, because I had been using this exact same model for over 15 years and they usually lasted years--YEARS--not months.

I purchased these goggles for indoor lap swimming. These were the only goggles I could find with a foam gasket instead of silicon. They are listed as "adult" goggles, but the lenses are tiny. I prefer a larger lens that fits outside my eye socket, but I cannot find any with a foam gasket and adjustable nose piece. These goggles fit inside my eyesocket, which I did not like, but at least they did not leak and the foam minimized the discomfort. They fog up completely after only 1 to 2 laps of a 25 yard pool. The foam peeled away from both lenses after only 16 uses. Very disappointing. I have a pair of classic Speedo goggles from the early 1990's with foam gaskets (bigger lenses) that still work. They are dark and mirrored and meant for outdoor swimming, and are not suited for indoor use. I will have to find another solution.

This is a great practice goggle. It can be difficult to find foam but the foam is easier on the eye socket. The goggles don't tend to last as long as the silicone but if you take care of them they will last 6 months. Also, this gasket size is good for a smaller face.

Nose piece runs a little big and does not have enough stops to fit small bridged noses. They still work, with minir adjustments. Foam is not glued down well. Adhesive is weak. Add a little gorilla glue and foam is sealed and lasts longer than original glue. Plastic lens and elastic band are durable and lens are clear with good visibility.

I was delighted to find these and was waiting to write a stellar review. I have a pair that must be a least ten years old and still great but scratched. so I was amazed to find these again. it is the soft foam lining that makes these unique and COMFORTABLE to wear. as others have said the foam does come loose but they are still usable, these new ones arrived with the foam already unstuck already THE CAVEAT it seems Speedo does not make these any more so these are either a knock off or very old stock. hence the PROBLEM the plastic on the nose piece is hard and nonadjustable. worked and worked and was afraid I was going to break either the plastic or the eye piece. solution was to actually whittle down the 'notched ridge' so the eye piece could slide over a notch that said still great goggles----- hope they last as long as the first

These goggles are used 3 times per week. I have had and my original pair more than 2 years with no problems. I am still using them! I purchased 4 pair as I was afraid Speedo would discontinue this model. I bought the clear goggles as they are used inside in a swim spa. For that reason though, I can't comment on how durable they would be in a chlorine environment as I use bromine. The bridge of my nose is quite narrow and these goggles, unlike many others I have tried in over 61 years of swimming, have quite a wide range of adjustment to the point that I was able to be fit them to my nose and they could be made even narrower if necessary. This is he first time I have encountered such goggles. It may not sound like much but if they don't fit around the nose, they leak.

I've been swimming for a while. When I started these goggles were one of a handful and they would last. I bought these from Speedo, over and over again. Then I sold out to the newer ones, and they have never been quite as comfortable as the foam gasket. I decided to go back to these when I saw they were still available but relegated to being outdated. I put them on and they feel just as fabulous. HOWEVER, the quality of the material is not as good. After my first few swims the gasket started to separate from the lenses. The spacer on the bridge is hard and scratches my nose unless I cut it. The band around my head is hard and not supple like it used to be. Wonderful, tried and true and just let the product get overtaken by glamourous versions that suck. SPEEDO, makes these better! Make them they way you used to.

It is true that after awhile the foam separates from the eye pieces but you can still use them and they won't leak; I have used pairs for months in that condition, sometimes the foam may even rip but I just place them correctly on the eye piece and use them without leaks. I swim 6 days / week, mostly in a chlorinated pool but at least one of those 6 days in the ocean, year round.

The rubber lining in the inner part of the eyeframe of the googles is just like a cut out black foam not same as normal googles. Definitely wont last. Doesnt even compensate the price.

If you just need to swim laps or your kids are at swim practice this is a great pair of goggles. Fits comfortably around your eyes with no pain. Diving in you have on issues with them coming off. Don’t leak, look cool in black for the kids and adults, fog up like all giggle do but there are easy fixes for that. Great value for your dollar.

Hard to find foam backed goggles these are good, only could be better if they were anti fog.

Y muy buen precio

Très mauvaise qualité après d'un moi, le support mousse qui protège les lunettes est tombé.
