I'm just getting back into swimming after a very long hiatus. Because of the long time gap, I couldn't find my old goggles, so I ordered these. (I did finally find my old goggles, but the rubber strap on them was toast anyway.)
I was skeptical that these would fit my face well, especially because the nose band isn't adjustable. I normally have to adjust the nose band by a notch in all of the goggles that I've used in the past. But these, right out of the box, were absolutely perfect.
The seal works well without needing to be so tight that your eyeballs feel like they're going to pop out. For regular lap swimming, I was able to keep them relatively loose (relatively, not floppy loose). But I tightened them just to see how that would feel, and they felt pretty okay when they were tighter, too. (My eyeballs stayed intact.) If you're going to dive with them, I would tighten them up a bit, because the seal did open on one eye when I jumped in and they were on the looser setting. But again, I don't think you'd be massively uncomfortable even if they were tighter.
The way these tighten and loosen is pretty handy. There's a little button on each side that you can press that releases some of the grip on the strap which makes it way easier to tighten/loosen. Let go of the button and it's back to being super grippy. You CAN tighten or loosen the strap without using the button, but it feels like the old school way of forcing the little notches in the strap past the rigid plastic loops on the sides. The button method is easier and feels more high-tech.
The tinting seems like the right level for me. I swam at 7 am (not direct sunshine just yet, but bright out) and I could see clearly without it being too dark or too bright. I expect that they would do well in direct sunshine, too. The anti-fog worked great. There was just a little touch of fog, hardly noticeable, after several laps of no goggle adjustment. I have so far been very careful not to disturb the inside of the goggles with fingers or a towel, so hopefully the anti-fog will last.
Overall, I'm very happy so far. I've never, ever had a brand of goggles that worked so well right out of the box with no fussing around.
