They work pretty well and leave less of a red mark around the eyes than other goggles. And of course, the lower price is a good incentive as well. Good suction and seal. I had a little difficulty tightening the straps around my head and actually ripped the strap. Fortunately, I was able to tie it back together and it works better now than before.

Really nice for outdoor swimming. Swedish goggles don't work for everyone so if your not sure if they fit your face try the three buck version first. This pair is more comfortable since it has a rubber material on the seating surface.

Good polarized goggles for practice indoors or out. My husband likes his Swedish goggles without the extra padding and they fit well into his eye socket without much extra movement.

I love these goggles but the metallic is a lot darker than I expected. They're perfect for when I swim outside but I trade them for clear socket rockets when swimming indoors.All-in-all, they're still great for the use they were designed for.

Have been wearing Sock Rocket 2.0s now for probably a decade. Bought them originally because I wanted an aggressive goggle but Sweds hurt. SR 2.0s are a perfect blend of an aggressive goggle and comfort.Straps usually last 8-12 months depending on how much you swim, how much chlorine your pool has, and how well you take care of them.These probably aren't great for more casual swimmers but for competitive ones, these are a must try.

I've been swimming competitively since I was (5) years old. When the Swedish-style goggles first came out, I was an early adapter and have been using this style ever since - anything else feels like I'm swimming with a windshield on my face. But having said that, these goggles are not for the average casual/recreational swimmer. Most casual swimmers feel like the goggles are too tight on their face - at least that's the most common critique I hear when I've lent my goggles out to someone to try for a lap or two. But someone used to the hard plastic Swedish goggles will consider these a rather comfortable upgrade.What works well for me is taking the extra time to fit the goggles with the included string and tubing. Additionally, I pair the goggles with a bungee-cord head-strap. This strap allows for quick adjustments and has much greater durability than the included rubber-straps; after all, there's nothing worse than showing up for a swim and having your head-strap snap just as you're preparing to push off the wall!I keep a backup pair of goggles and straps in a plastic ziplock and keep it close in my mesh swim bag so if I do happen to have a goggle malfunction - it doesn't ruin a workout. Before you buy, just understand what you're getting. These are designed for competition; as such, these are low-profile, tight, and comfortable - just the way I like them!

If you're looking for casual swimming goggles, look at another pair. These are for the initiated competitive swimmer. I'm not saying you wouldn't use them and enjoy them if you were just taking them out to go swimming in your backyard pool, but these are designed to stay on your face and be adjustable at a moments notice, not necessarily for comfort. They have a small amount of rubber on the eyepieces, so they won't cut into your eye sockets as much as the typical swedish sets do, but still aren't 'comfortable.'I used these during my competitive swimming days and just needed to get another pair a few years later. I'd recommend them to any serious swimmer.

Ex competitive swimmer. These fit perfectly for swedish style goggles. If you are not used to racing goggles and are looking for something comfortable, I would go with something else. These also run very dark so if you are swimming in low visibility (dirty or non lit pool/lake/ocean) its hard to see. If you have an a nice pool and really want good quality goggles for training or competing, these are the best I have ever had.

I've gone through many pairs of these goggles and I usually get mirrored ones. This time I got the metallic red /silver. You can't tell from the picture but the plastic is red and the mirroring is silver. I've only used this pair indoors but it makes the whole world a rich and displeasing blood red. Stick to the regular colors with smokey grey or no tint at all.Socket Rockets 2.0 are great. The swedish ones never worked for me, they dug into my eyes too much. These are a little bit bigger and the rubber coating means you don't have to get it mega tight to make a good seal.

I have trouble with leaking goggles and having to put them on so tight they leave zombie eye marks. Not so with these. Comfortable and leak free.

takes a little getting used to but now after three months, it feels really comfortable. Beware, it doesn't have the rubber things around the eye piece. Some people prefer those.

Bought 8x pairs of goggles before found one that fit my large head. If you struggle to find sunglasses that are large enough then these will work. A little tricky to get them to seal however once you do they are great. DONT touch the inside of the lenses as you will take off the fog inhibitor which works great.

mirror finish is great, though it is my second pair, because if not treated delicately, the finish will scratch and become easily fogged. But as shipped, fogging is minimal and fit is great for caucasian male. My chinese wife cannot use them because the curvature doesn't fit her face. They it me better than any foam or rubber gasket goggle ver has.

Ordered these for the outdoor season. They are comfortable and seem to be good quality. I like the nose piece as it is adjustable unlike Swedish goggles.

It was always difficult to adjust it and the moment I put it on I realized that 12$ spent was a HUGE mistake. I am a grad student and 12 bucks means a LOT to me. The water always leaked in and only when tightly adjusted would it work. But unfortunately it was so tight that it became uncomfortable and then in about a months time it came apart at the nose. Sorry, BIG disappointment. Don't cheap out on swimming apparels, You end up paying again to buy a better product. I learnt it the hard way.

This are racing googles, so don't expect them to be super comfortable, although they are compared to other swedish style googles since they have a thin silicone seal which goes against your face improving comfort and fit. The red ones are really dark for using outdoors at night so have it in mind.They include a mini rope in case you want to replace the latex bridge for something more firm. Talking about latex, the straps are also made from this material so, if you happen to be allergic, change the straps for silicone, which I am going to do anyways since latex is degraded rater fast by UV rays.
