Swim Goggles #Glise

I am in no rites a professional (or even amateur) swimmer but these are the best pair of fitting goggles I have had and they seem very high quality. The adjustable nose pieces make it so you can find the right distance for the space between your eyes. It came with a small on it which I had to move to the medium piece for comfort. The nose piece comes right (not in a way that would ever fall out, but something that is not very difficult to do) and you just slide in one of the other ones. The straps are very easy to adjust the sizing and have a little mechanism that keeps them in place. To re-adjust it is very easy. The reflective nature of the front is very cool, it looks like a nice set of sunglasses where you cannot see into it when someone is wearing them.

The cushion around the eye is very soft but holds a good seal against water. When I went to test it I jumped off of a 12 foot platform and the goggles had no problem sticking to my face. They have anti-fog properties and didn't fog up one time while I was swimming and playing around.

 Good or bad (I'll let you decide) the goggles are very very tinted. They make everything a lot bluer. I was testing in an indoor pool but it made it a little difficult to walk around with them on. If you go outside it is not a problem at all, but inside it was a little dark in my opinion. The accessories are nice, and I am sure if you were an avid swimmer, it would save you from having to buy these as extras. With that said, I have a medium to large nose and the nose plugs definitely did not fit, the ear plugs seemed to be a little large (even though they were made from a nice silicone). The swim cap was perfect though, and seemed very nice (thick rubber) and fit quite nicely.


Overall. I think this is a solid buy for around $15, I think as a swimmer, I would use these while doing laps in or outdoors. As a explore-able set, I would probably try to find something that didn't have such a deep tint to them. Check them out!
