Speedo Hydrospex Classic Goggle Reviews

8/21/2011 Impossible to fit

By Sandra L.

I swim laps and wanted something that did not dig into my eye sockets in order to keep my eyes clear. These looked like just the item - the flanges around the lenses appear to be soft and pliable - exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, the nose piece has no give whatsoever to it and for me, at least, the glasses sat straight out from the bridge of my nose and no matter how I adjusted the head strap, they leaked like a sieve. I returned them.

7/24/2013 Leaks after 2 months

By RobJay

Think I left them in hot car and now they are worthless.

9/24/2011 Rubber Seal Curls

By Patrick

I have used a number of the Hydrospex Goggles and they have been my favorites until this last one. The older style had a thicker firmer rubber seal, while these seem to lose shape - I believe due to the change - much thinner and different hardness. I leave them in my car and I know it gets hot, but this never happened with the previous googles under much worse conditions.

By B.A.

I bought these because of all the great comments. I swim a mile twice a week. I thought I would try these based on all the positive comoments. I put them on and within two laps they were leaking. I gave them the benefit of doubt and played with the fittings to no avail. They have a great wide view, but for me, really leaked-to the point of filling up the sockets. I am back to using my old ones that I had for spares.

12/14/2019 always the same lens defect over the years

By jl

for the last 5 years + the lens develops a permanent fog in the center of each lens after 10 or so swims. extremely frustrating to use.
is a comfortable training goggle, except for lens frustration.

8/11/2019 They've changed, poor quality.

By Dean R

The last several pairs' plastic seal have warped almost immediaely under hot conditions (I live in AZ). Since I've been using this particular model for years without issue, I can tell something has changed and they don't hold up any longer.

10/1/2015 Not a fan

By Rico

Having been used to the Vanquisher goggles I thought these would be a nice alternative. These are a one piece molded across both eyes and it was never comfortable to me. They felt more like the cheap kiddie goggles you get for pool fun time. It didn't seal out the water very well either. Handed them down to my son who promptly lost them after practice one day like he does so often. Neither of us were heartbroken about it except they cost more than other goggles I like.

6/29/2014 too small

By mark t.

too small, will not fit adult. returning these.

5/21/2014 Leak leak leak

By Daniel

Every time I buy a pair of speedo goggles they end up leaking during my swim. After a couple of failed attempts, i decided that I would give them one more try and again they let water in and botched my swim. It has become somewhat of a nuissance to wear these speedo goggles.

11/15/2011 couldn't use

10/26/2011 Not very reliable

By Edie

These goggles worked fine but lasted less than two weeks! They broke right at the nose bridge.

10/12/2011 unsatisfactory

By STEW

I PURCHASED THESE GOGGLES ALONG WITH THE RIFT-PRO MASK, (SEE REVIEW), SO AS TO HAVE A CHOICE IN WHICH TYPE WORKED BETTER FOR ME. THESE DIDN'T WORK FOR ME. THEY DIDN'T MATCH THE EYE SPREAD ON MY HEAD SO THEY LEAKED EVEN WITH A LOT OF TENSIO ON THE ADJUSTMENT BAND, WHICH MADE THEM UNCOMFORTABLE ON MY EYES AND HEAD. THE BAND IS ALSO DIFICULT TO ADJUST.

6/13/2011 Bad goggles

By No name

Had several different pairs of this style. Got them b/c they were a name brand and are easy to find. None of them stay in place for entry or lap swim. They slip no matter how you adjust the strap. Seldom keep water out. I'll never buy another pair.

10/16/2010 LEAKEY!

By km

For ME, these goggles did not work. They might work for some, but for me...I was swimming with Niagra Falls coming into my eyes.

8/31/2010 Sucks

By lomdalf

Fits fine. But my the biggest complain with it is that it fogs up inside very quickly, which of course makes it impossible to use, because, every time it does that you have stop and clean it. Just to give you an idea how quickly it fogs up. I can only go 25 yards (which is half a lap in the pool I use) before I have to clean it.
