Speedo Air Seal Tri Swim Goggle

Having had these goggles for several months and worn them at least 2-3 times a week, I believe I can offer a useful review.First the bad: Do not get the straps wet before putting trying to put them on. I, like many swimmers, like to wet the inside of the goggles to reduce the risk of fogging. In the past, this has meant a quick dunk in the water and shaking the water out. However, once you have done this and attempt to put them on, the adjustment mechnism on the straps loses all friction and the straps slide out when you put tension on the straps to put them on your head. The first time this happened to me was at the start of a triathlon and the adjustment mechanism came off both straps completely, and it was only through a quick reaction that I was able to catch it before it sank into the murky depths off the beach. . . . Since then and multiple times thereafter, I have had a similar frustrating experience. No matter how hard I try, the adjustment mechanism allows the straps to slip completely out when ever tension is applied (as when trying to put the goggles on).The solution? I have discovered through trial and error to be careful to ONLY wet the eyepieces and NOT to get the straps wet before putting them on. This appears to have solved the problem. The straps are not yet slick enough to slide completely out of the mechanism while they are still dry . .The good: They work. Once on and stable on the head, the eyepieces do not fog and stay dry. You do have to push them on a bit in order for them to gain a vacuum on your face to resist leaking in spirited swimming, but that is not unusual.The nose bridge is also inelastic and will dig into your nose if you put them on upside down. I have never had to worry about which side is right side up in other pairs of goggles I have or have owned.

I bought these while looking for a more comfortable goggle than the usual race fare. They do indeed have a softer, more comfortable seal, which is especially important to me when I'm swimming for 45 minutes or more at a time. For whatever reason, they also seem to more resistant to fogging than my previous few goggles. No idea why.The only real issue I've had is that the straps periodically will loosen on their own, either while putting the goggles on or sometimes while swimming. I've read a few reviews on other sites where people also complain about this behavior. The fix is to simply tie a knot with the portion of the straps that stick out once you've found the right size setting. I haven't had any issues after doing this.Lastly, I swim with a Finis SwimP3 for music, and I did have to move the music pads behind my ear to keep these goggles from leaking around the sides. This is also not a big deal, and it's likely because the nose bridge isn't adjustable. The music sounds the same whether the pads are in front or behind my ears.Overall, good, comfortable goggle, especially if you're not in a race mindset and don't mind tying the straps.

I am an avid triathlete (I've done all distances from sprint to half-ironman and average about 10-15 races a year and train year-round) who greatly depends on his goggles for training AND competition. These goggles handle both very well. They are comfortable, fit great for me, and rarely fog on me. They also provide a wide field of vision, something previous goggles I've had did not. This makes sighting a lot easier. The fact that they do not fog easily is also a wonderful advantage for me during a race. The tinting helps shade my eyes from that early morning sunrise during the swim portion of a race and helps reduce glare if I'm doing open-water training in the afternoon.I haven't noticed any great drag issues with these as they have a very low profile on my face. They seem to fit like a glove, and have an excellent seal. I've only encountered a leak once, and that was my fault, not the goggles.If you are looking for a solid pair of goggles to use for triathlon - or even non-competitive lap swimming, you might consider investing in these. I believe you will be happy.

I have had these goggles for 2 weeks... been swimming with them about 5 or 6 times.---PROS----Great fit... no suction eyes feel-easy to put on and adjust-nice blue tint... easy on the eyes even on sunny days-doesn't fog up---CONS----tends to loosen... I have owned several goggles... this is the first one that actually unhinges from the plastic buckle. I think it is because of the strap material... it's quite smooth-not great for diving.... maybe it's strap related but I experienced the goggles pop off twice when diving---CONCLUSION----for the casual swimming it's a great buy. I have had a hard time finding a comfortable goggles... this is the best for my "Asian" face... As for competitive or performance conditions you may need to look somewhere else...

I can't quite give these goggles five stars. I do find that near the end of a training swim they start to fog up a little, despite the claim that they're anti-fog. If I take them off during a rest, I have to be careful putting them back on or they will leak a little. However, they are VERY comfortable on my Easter Island-sized head, and the peripheral vision is really neat to have while swimming. I haven't had the problem with the straps coming out like some reviewers have. I would absolutely recommend these goggles, particularly to someone who has had problems finding goggles that didn't pinch the bridge of the nose. Overall, a very good buy.
