Anyone know if they can be shipped to Australia? I have been trying to get a pair made for a mate doing Hawaii, but doesn’t look like they ship over here? Anyone know any different?
No they can’t. Get it shipped to a mail forwarding service. e.g. myus.com I use that.
Just stay away from the Special Ops. Great fitting google, super soft gasket, but all 3 pairs I have fog up like a bitch.
1st pair I was told was because they were “kona” prototypes. Second two pairs were Olympic models and same issue.
If theres no other way and your willing to trust me, I’d be willing to help you out and ship them to you. PM me if your interested. I live in Southern California if you want to figure out the shipping costs.

Any idea about the Remix? I pulled the trigger on a pair this afternoon in spite of being unable to find any reviews & such on them.
I have a few pairs of TYR googles - special opps and the Remix…both suck…and I really wanted to like them. I found this out by receiving a free pair of Zoggs Predator Flex Polarised and realized how great they are. I would have never bought them because of the price, but now after experiencing them, I would. Pretty awesome goggles.
Sorry if I highjacked the thread…but just had to get that off my chest
Out of curiosity with the zoggs, do you normally like wider goggles? I’m wondering how they fit? Maybe similar to the spec ops? I really like the spec ops a lot, but not the fogging!

They actually are not as wide as the Special Opps. I found them to fit just perfect for my head. The Special opps were a tad wide…wearable, but just a tad wide. The fit of the Zoggs are perfect for me.
Oh, and little to no fogging. I really like the TYR brand, but am pretty stoked on Zoggs at the moment… I actually heard they are coming out with a lens that changes the level of tint on the lenses depending on the sunlight. (I know there is a technical term for that) I can’t wait for these because I often start my swims in the early morning darkness and then have the sun coming up on my breathing side. I am interested to see how they perform.
I love the Special Ops goggles. Best fitting goggle I’ve worn and no fogging problems for me.
Haven’t tried the remix.
Loved the fit of the special ops, but out of the 5 or so I have owned ran into fogging on 3 out of 5 and had two of them break/separate at the nose bridge.
I am sticking with the Nest Pros

I agree … got my first pair as a Kona promo … great fit for me and no fog problems when I use tyr antifog drops which I always do anyway. I ordered 3 more pair recently but my original pair is still working well. Custom colors are sort of cool. Everybody likes their own goggle choice for some individual reason … but after dozens of other priors these are working best so far for me

Even I’ve used myus sometimes and they are good.!(about:blank)!(about:blank)

Same here… Loved the fit, hated the fogging problems. FWIW - They stopped fogging up with a steady regimen of Foggle wipes about every 2nd or 3rd swim. But Foggle’s not the cheapest and the single use towelette’s seem a bit wasteful.

Thanks for the feedback.
Confirmation email from Tyr, a pair of Remix goggles was shipped yesterday. I’ll let y’all know how they work, in case you’re interested.
I love the Spec Ops goggles. Fit great. Very comfy. Don’t leak. But they fog like a mofo. I put up with it because everything else is so great about them.
+1 on the special ops being a great goggle. Ive been through roughly half a dozen pairs of different goggles over the year and havent found one nearly as comfortable as the special ops.
Ive been using the old trick of a little baby shampoo in my goggles and have never had a foggin issue. 99 cents for a small travel size bottle will last you an eternity!!
