TYR Socket Rocket 2.0 Swim Goggles Reviews

11/4/2016 Maybe Im doing something wrong....

By Sheheryar

I bought these to reduce the racoon eyes -- but they were quite uncomfortable and I kept getting water in them. Its highly possible that I am not using them correctly since the other reviewers cant all be wrong! So for now I am back to using my vanquishers.

3/30/2021 not good but not really bad

By HJ

It looks a very cheap product when I opened it up. It just cover my eyes only. If your eyes are a little bigger than others then ... might not cover them. Anyway, for me, it worked. I do not know how it last long yet.

8/12/2015 Disappointed

By Costarica2014

It came as a shock to find that I had to assemble them before I could use them. I have found it very difficult to thread the string through the tube

7/8/2015 not good for me

By DrD

Leaked immediately
also fogged up

3/29/2012 Goggles still fogged

By Dave

The fit of the product was not that confortable. As an ophthalmologist the product was not comfortable and it still fogged. The straps needed to placed after the goggles were placed over the eyes. The fact that the lenses were made with polycarbonate material offers great protection but the downside is that this material will scratch with time and abuse. If the straps were made with silicone and have rigidity the product would be better. I would not purchase the product again.

3/24/2012 not so good for 9 yearold boy

By jj z.

It is recommened by coach. I bought 6. But my son who is 9 year old does not feel good. He asked me to change it.

10/11/2011 Lots of adjusting

By Joe A.

I haven't been real impressed with these goggles, I keep having to adjust the straps and haven't found that "just right" spot that will prevent them from leaking. Most of the leaking is coming from the area closest to my nose despite all the adjustment I've made with that little strap. Had a pair of club swim, or swim club goggles similar to these and they worked much better.

By Benedict

Assembly requires dexterity. The size is too small and I was not given the choice of size at purchase.

1/27/2011 Leaks

By Kaila

Leaks and fogs.

6/5/2010 Leaked

By Swimmer

Great look, awesome vision but I couldn't get them to not leak. Had to switch to a different style. Disappointed in these goggles.

5/3/2010 Just not for me

By yep...

I got these goggles expecting greatness from them. they look amazing and i see people like michael phelps, Aaron Piersol, and Ryan Lochte wear them, but when i put them on they constantly leaked. Through endless adjustments, it wasn't worth risking the goggles leaking during a race. yes the look good, but i will not compromise on quality.

9/23/2009 meh - they'll do

By digby

they're not junk and for the price I'm happy. But the band is pretty flimsy and I'm pretty sure i'll be buying another pair in not too long once it breaks.

5/16/2009 tough to get a good leak proof fit

By A1Barnes

I worked with it for some time to get a nice leak free fit. But the next time I put them on..... more leaks...

5/3/2009 Constant adjustment

By Joe

First off I was really excited about these goggles because they looked great. But then I got them and theyre so uncomfortable. They also need constant adjustment. Plus the nose strap needs to constantly be tightened or loosened and after like 1 hour they snapped. probably not the best choice of goggles. Liked them just wished they were ALOT more comfortable and durable.

5/1/2009 strap

By Yoko R.

head strap is too loose. had to replace it with other one we had had.

11/25/2008 Maybe it's just me?

By Matt H

not comfortable and do not fit my eye socket well at all.

1/17/2008 Buyer Beware

By Swim Chick

They aren't kidding when they call this a "socket rocket" -- these things literally sit inside your eye socket. I can't imagine anyone enjoying that sensation -- it felt awful immediately, no matter how much I adjusted the nosepiece or the straps. I have a very narrow face so I have a hard time finding a good fit with goggles in general, but these were particularly bad with the way they seem to cup your eyeballs. Totally weird.
