TYR Tracer Racing Metallized Goggle Reviews

By Tyrrible yet cheap enough from Gutter, Lane 4 on 12/5/2012

These are used for racing only and last about 12 race days on average. I have about 60 used pairs to send to anyone who wants them. I can''t use them for practice because the interghangeable nose bridge cuts into the bridge of my nose. Yes the largest one, and my nose is not that big. They are well taken care of and rinsed after each use and even kept in goggle cases while in use. It seems that the gasket looses it''s seal before the lens/gasket interface itself starts leaking. I really would like to have them use better materials at TYR so I don''t have to pollute the planet so much.

I have trouble fitting goggles as most don’t fit my eye sockets without leaking.  I got these and used them right away to replace my old pair and they fit great with no leakage.  These goggles are not too small for the eye sockets and the rubber seals keep out water even with fast flip turns although they may be too small for triathlons if you were to get hit in the eye.  These goggles were not the mirrored ones for bright outdoor pools but I found them tinted just right for outdoor and indoor pool use.  There was a coating on the inside for anti-fogging but that washed out after about two weeks.  Use anti-fogging drops to keep out the fog after that.  The nose piece (extra pieces provided) and the straps are fully adjustable and fit great once adjusted.

I love the TYR tracer goggles and have never bought any other kind. I realized how nice they are the other day when I borrowed my friend''s goggles for practice and I couldn''t see anything because the vision was so restricted and they were so dark. These goggles have great vision, aren''t to dark or to light, and fit comfortably. I will never order any other kind! They have lasted me for 9 months.

The product was brand new, but not  good quality.

I swim 3 times a week at the local Y and this is my 3rd time buying these.  The first pair was great, no fogging, no leaking and with the interchangeable nose pieces they fit great.  The second set was OK, but started fogging up after a couple swims.  Other than that I''ve never had a problem with them.  These are a great goggle at a great price.

Working well now but other TYR goggles have become useless in 6 months due to the rubber eye cups becoming hard and then leak.

I have 2 swimmers in the house that prefer these goggles.  They have been very dependable and comfortable.  These seem to last the longest compared to others in the same price range or higher; it's not good when you get to the diving block and your goggles break! :)

This was my 3rd set of goggles now and I think I may have found the best one yet. They seal perfict with no lecage, the multiple nose pieces helpted with this. Straps are comforateable and easy to adjust. I only had 1 day when they fogged alittle but none since and they have great field of vew. Coating definately cuts down on glare and I don't need a second pair to swim at night.

These fit fine.  I have lots of TYR goggles.  These are not tinted, only metallized so they don't shade the sun.

Im a movie triathlete and. Or ally swim in an outdoor pool. I'm sort of a clydesdale but these goggles feel comfortable Whether performing sprints or long swim sets. The adjustable nose bridge is a plus. No sun glare whatsoever with clear water visibility .
