Blue seventy goggles

I swim in Swedes in the pool, but use the Aqua Sphere Kaiman in open water for racing.



I like the mirrored lenses for when the sun is coming up and the black border acts like a blinder (less peripheral vision than Swedes). But the real reason I like these is because you can get popped in the eye and they spread the blow over a nice big surface. Interestingly they give me double vision when I try to look at a black line on the bottom of the pool in them.

I did pick up a pair of swedes, but haven't gotten as far as swimming with them. Feel like they dig into my eyeballs.

You should wear swedes looser than regular goggles with a gasket. That's what makes them more comfortable, you barely need any strap tension to hold them in place.

I should add, if you are a front of pack swimmer, go with swedes. If you are mid pack, something with a gasket. Less chance of getting kicked in the face if there is no-one in front of you.

I use swedish goggles indoors and out. My current pair are clear but with some reflecto that cuts out glare outside. The anti fog is dead so I need some new ones.

Holy CRAP!

JasoninHalifax and I agree on something! LOL

Swedish goggles suction themselves onto my face nicely. I could just about swim without a strap except for the dive start.

Best invention since the ice cream maker!

Well, a broken clock is right twice a day.

(For the record, you are the broken clock in this analogy) ;)

I'm looking forward to the second time today that I'm right about something. That will be a big event according to what my wife tells me! (I'm just hoping I'm not a military clock. LOL)

I won't swim with anything other than TYR Technoflex goggles (currently known as "4.0"). I have pairs in clear for the pool and tinted for OW. But... whatever fits your face.

TYR Special Ops hands down.

Stumbled across them when I did a race over on the east coast and did not have any gear on me. Something like $17 and the lens are just starting to fail after swimming with them 5 days a week in the pool through the winter. No babying or anything, straight into the bag with everything else. Super comfortable fit and hardly any strap tension needed. I find that I get a bad headache if my goggles require a tight strap after an hour and a half or so. First pair that hasn't presented that problem.

I agree. TYR special Ops are great.

best goggles I've ever owned. The Orions are really good too but they are my backup pair to my Special Ops.

X2. I do a lot of open water swimming in Hawaii the smoke, or mirrored Aqua Sphere Kaiman are great.

I love the first version of the Special Ops, but the Special Ops 2.0 just don't fit me right. I don't know why they had to mess with a good thing.

Swedes. They are the only choice. At $6 a pop you can grab a mirrored pair and a few different shades for different light conditions.

Finis Surge. Polarized. I can't get them to leak or wear out. Been using them for well over a year in the pool, in open water and racing. Great goggle.

TYR pro nest hands down
