TYR Socket Rocket Metallized Goggle Reviews

7/13/2013 Possibly the best goggles I've ever owned

By Cooper

I've been swimming for 10 years for my club team, high school team, and soon for college. In this time I have tried out just about every kind of goggle--vanquishers, speed sockets, air seals, and Swedes. I bought a pair of socket rockets about a month ago and have been absolutely loving them. The seal keeps them from leaking, I hardly get raccoon eyes after practice, and the mirror is dark enough to be comfortable outdoors without being too dark for indoor pools. I'm still trying to decide whether the extra cost makes them better than just regular swedes, but I really do like these goggles a lot.

By WNC

Comfortable but inside scratched easily when using fingertip to clear fog.

6/6/2013 Best goggles EVER

By Nicholas P.

I am a collegiate swimmer and use the goggles twice a day. They are the best goggles i have ever purchased, better than Speedo or Sweedes. They are comfortable on your eyes and head, and they don't press against your eye sockets. THESE GOGGLES DO NOT FOG AT ALL. I don't wipe them out at all during a 2 and a half hour practice. And they block the sun no matter where you are in the country. The straps are just a little loose, so make sure they are tight before you use them in a meet. Def practice with them first, all goggles are different.

3/13/2014 Hard to get a seal

By SueB

I bought these because everyone raved about how great they were. I can't get them to seal and fit properly at all. I adjusted them multiple times but couldn't get the fit right. Going back to my AquaSpheres...

4/26/2018 Love them!

By Spagetti

Not only do I have a seriously big head I was given/ blessed with a substantial nose also. I have had lots of googles that buy wear for one or two workouts and then give away to others in need. I have modified the crap out of goggles with only temporary relief.....until I was recommended these by the staff of SwimOutlet.
I couldn’t imagine living without that red impression across the bridge of my nose...until I bought these. For me...I finally found peace. Once I got them dialed in I go a whole workout without issues...love them so much... I bought a case to treat them with respect. Thank you SwimOutlet!

If you like swedes, then you'll love these - just a little grippy right where it contacts the skin, so they stay put even better. The old string and plastic tube kit is also included, for those that don't care for the rubber strap between the eyepieces.

11/6/2015 Excellent goggles for speed

By -V-

Low Profile Swedish style goggles with the comfort of a rubber/silicone type liner around the eyecups. As a competitive swimmer , I prefer the Swedish goggles but these cut down the prep time to file the edges etc. MUCH more comfortable.

Lens color Has a great light/dark balance and the reflective costing helps with glare.

5/25/2014 My favorie training goggles!

By Nancy

I became allergic to the foam gasket goggles that fit great and thought I'd never find another kind that fit so well. Well these are even better! I've worn them for several years now and I hope they remain a TYR staple. They don't leave marks around my eyes and they have a thin smooth plastic gasket that is more comfortable than those without one.

11/2/2008 DON'T GET THE CLEAR!

By michael

They're barely mirrored. Cool but not as cool as the other colors. Good goggles. A little iffy on sprint freestyle or fly.

12/23/2020 Swedish Like

By Jfkucera

First pair were quite blurry...not a good thing in early morning workouts [OPENBRK]weird film on inside of goggles[CLOSEBRK].
SwimOutlet sent a replacement NO CHARGE....to make it right.
Thank you.
New pair excellent

11/11/2020 Perfect!

By Christy

A great fit. The small profile doesn't leave your eyes looking like you were punched in the face after a swim. No leakage. It doesn't get any better.

5/22/2016 My favs

5/16/2015 review

By vm

Bought these for my second yr swimmer never had bought Swedish style before so that took some getting used to but the part that got the three star from me was the band that holds it together snapped because its thin and is like the cheap goggles you buy at the pharmacy so in a mad dash before a meet I had to get a thicker band all worked out...

By DanRunning

Great goggles!

1/17/2015 Cool but dysfunctional

By Swim team

I bought these for my boyfriend since we both swim. He says they're really cool, but he hasn't been able to adjust them the right way, and can't get them to work at all. The way the strap is designed is weird and I can't get it just right either.

1/15/2015 Pleased but gets foggy

By Rebecca

Fit very well, straps are easy to adjust, reasonable price but they fog quickly.

12/5/2014 Best of the best!!!!

By CCC

Five stars for a superb design! if were possible, I would give a 10 star mark!

By Guillermo P.

not good for indoor pools, but the reduced vision camp helps to the swim focus.
