These are the only goggles I will swim with now.  I've been using them for prob over 8 years exclusively at this point and every time I go to use a different brand, it reminds me why these are the best.  Their peripheral vision is astounding as are all Swedish styles I suspect.  The option of elastic or string nose piece is nice to choose between racing and practice goggles for me.  I usually go with a bungie strap for racing as the included one is a bit too stretchy for my entry on a dive.   The low profile is a great look and does not come off as bug eyed.

The gasket around the edges are UNBEATABLE.  I have not found a better sealing or more comfortable fit for my face and rarely do they leak.  Only if the nose piece is incorrectly spaced do they ever leak for me.  Granted the gaskets do NOT last forever and is really the only downfall I have found of the design.  But at the price . . . I think it's an acceptable compromise.  The gaskets degrade quicker if left out in direct sunlight and will harden if exposed to a lot of sunscreen it seems.  They end up "melting" or "cracking" after a long while under these circumstances.  These are fine for outdoor swimming, but the Eclipse version are definitely worth the money if swimming in the middle of the day.

I assume that the TYR Socket Rocket is excellent because it is better than other goggle I have used. They do require some getting used to with the way they feel over the orbitals. They came recommended to me from my buddy who is a swimmer. I am happy with this product.

I've been racing in triathlons competitively for about 6 years now and I've used these goggles for open water swims and pool swims.  I think I've bought about 5 or more pairs of these goggles.  They work great and are pro looking which helps you win of course.  =)

I mainly have used traditional Swedish goggles. But always end up trying new things. I had read a few not so positive reviews and was skeptical about the TYR packaging, mods, and quality. After a month of continues everyday use, I am nothing but thrilled with the whole package. The anti-fog works better than others. Metallic (rainbow) clear look really cool and work just fine in the dark. The little extra silicon (I think) surface, is the icing on the cake. It really adds to the seal and comfort. I can really relax the straps. In addition, coming fully assembled is worth the extra $5 by itself. Also comes with traditional string nose peace, but the elastic nose peace works better, is less hassle, and more comfortable and reliable. I absolutely love them.

this is my all time favorite pair of goggles. i switched out the rubber nose piece for the classic string one (which is provided). they fit wonderfully. they're comfortable around your eyes and i love the adjustable strap. perfect. really.

Use these almost everyday in practice and even have a spare pair for meets. They are the best goggles that I have ever used and they look fantastic. Highly recommend them.
