I purchased these to replace my last Aqua Sphere pair which had been used for 9 Ironmans and about 60 shorter triathlons; I never every use new things in a race but made an exception last week and used them at Ironman Florida (I did try them in the pool once) and they were perfect!! Love the tint and the clarity, the product rocks!!!
I use the mask for both the pool three times a week and for triathlon competition. This is my second pair. The first ones lasted for over two years, when they started to leak. I particularly like them for two reasons. First, they are not like goggles that leave an imprint around your eyes. Second, they are great for competition because you can get a good view of what's going on due to the size of the mask. My only complaint would be that some times they fog up, but not always.
Nice fit no leakage comfortable mask.
these goggles solved the problem of dark red imprints around my eyes after a swim with the conventional goggles. They fit well and I think I have an average size face. the bonus was the increased visibility when I wear them. I recommend them! (I swim 3-5 X per week; 90-110 laps per swim)
Recently I purchased these goggles because I like the larger profile to avoid pressure on my face. I have two other pair that are similiar in style but are made by Speedo and Aqua Lung. The Aqua Sphere goggles really put a lot of pressure on the bridge of my nose to the point where it "cuts" into the skin unlike my other goggles. Sorry to say I have put these goggles aside until I really need them because they are too uncomfortable for longer lap swims.
The mask is watertight for about 1/4 mile of lap swimming. After that, water starts seeping inside the mask. I'm not sure if the strap adjustment slips as you swim or if the seal is just not that good. At any rate, it takes many stops and readjustments from that point on to keep the mask watertight. Not as good as my last mask made by the same company.
