Barracuda Wire Mask Reviews

By Sr. lap swimmer from Mims, FL on 4/19/2013

I have "deep set" eyes so mask goggles are much better for me. I initially put these on too high on my forehead, but slid it down to find the best fit. I''m wearing it somewhat loose for comfort and get slight leakage, but I know this would go away if I snug it up. Looks and feels like a quality product - not flimsy and goes on easy.

I got these to replace a pair of small goggles that I lost in the gym where I swim. I wanted a pair that didnt hurt the ridge above my eyes.These work well and are much more comfortable. They would be 5 stars except the way the straps adjust is not the greatest. They seal good and dont fog.Would recommend.

I now have used the Barracuda mask though this spring and summer. I love it. It''s very comfortable, never leaks and I like the large strap. My underwater I-Nano fits perfectly on the strap, would never know it''s there. The lenses have held up well, no fading. I swim five days out of a week, doing lap training. I just picked up two more, one clear and the blue. Great product!

It should be comfortable as reviewed by other customers. However, for me as Asian, the googles cannot fit tightly on my nose, consequently, water can get in. I wish they made similar googles that fit small nose.

Fit well and comfortable but leaked after 8 laps.  Tightened and leaked again around the nostril.. I purchased this to replace my goggles that caused pain around my eye sockets.  I have a wide oriental face with a slightly flat nose.  I am training for the senior games and I'm 79 yrs old and need a better fitting goggles or mask.  I am purchasing another pair that I hope will fit better.  Stay tuned!!!!

No leaking, wide visual field , comfortable...

I swim laps and don't like having to stop to deal with leaking or fogged up googles.... these googles are great

Don't have any complaints at all!

I have been using it for pool practices for 8 months, but will be using it in open water and triathlons.  It's the most comfortable set of goggles/mask I've ever used; I've worn it through one and half hour practices without removing it once or feeling the need to pull it off.  Of course, I think it has to fit your face; not every face is the same.

I swim regularly for fitness and recently became obsessed with finding a goggle that fit COMPLETELY outside of my eye sockets.  This was the largest of the swim masks I could find.  It leaks a little bit and the mechanism for tightening and loosening is not quite as easy to use as the Aquasphere Seal (which was a bit too small to fit completely outside the eye socket).  But, in terms of fitting outside the eye socket, this is the best I could find.

I swim 2-3/wk. These goggles fit me well, and mostly kept a seal. However, the silicone has separated from the mask, and they now leak. I emailed Barraccuda, and they said this model cannot be repaired, unlike other Barraccuda goggles. I've had these about2 years. My previous pair of standard Barraccudas lasted 13 years. After the foam disintegrated, I decided to go with the mask. While I appreciated the fit, I wish they were repairable. I will return to the standard goggles for their repairability.

I haven't actually used the goggles yet, but the goggles look really good.
