I wish I would have gotten clear lenses - the color distortion of these is very distracting both in the water and especially after I take them off.Fit is good.

I've been using Swedish or Swedish "Style" goggles now for over 30 years. The originals, are still the best for what you get, how much they cost, and how long they last. They are basically disposable, and at $4 a pop, who really cares if they don't last more than 6 months? That said, I have tried these and I can say two things about them. First, the rubber gasket is nice and a slight improvement over the no gasket design of the originals; although it will eventually wear out in about 6 months of every day use, but for the added comfort, it may be worth it. Second, the anti-fog coating, like other goggles with anti-fog coatings, is extremely delicate and will not stand up to any kind of repeated touching. For those who would recommend using spit or any other form of pre-donning ritual, all that will happen is the anti-fog coating will become terribly scratched and render the goggles all but useless if you wish to see the wall before running into it. Even with great care on my part to only use water to rinse the inside of the goggle, I only extended the "new" clarity for a short time. Additionally, it appears there is some kind of adhesive used to attach the front lens to the sides - meaning these goggles are NOT a single piece of plastic? I could not tell for sure, but there was a definite bead of goo build up at the point where the front and sides meet - perhaps just more of the anti-fog coating? Bottom-line, these are nice comfortable goggles for those who like Swedish style, but are hopelessly flawed by the anti-fog coating and will last you only about 3 to 4 months of daily use before they are frustratingly opaque.

The goggles themselves are quite nice and very comfortable to wear. The problem is that the antifog layer on the inside rubbed off after a few weeks and when it rubbed off the inside of the goggles looked like they were scratched and it became difficult to see out of them.

haven't used it straight after I've got it, kept it as the spare one. Once mine regular one finished, I've started to use this and was very happy with it, however after a week of swimming, found the crack in the rubber around right cup. Not sure what caused the problem as I always washing them after swimming and store them in the case. The crack isn't leaking yet and I'm not sure how long will it last.

Well, as a dedicated swimmer, I would like to give this TYR Metalized goggles an honest review.The goggles/Sockets are rather structually durable. I got mine in March from Sport Chalet, and it stills works fine.However, as the other review said, the rubber straps, both the head strap and the nose bridge piece, are made of low quality materials. The nose piece snapped a week ago, and the head strap is also on its way to breakage.Sounds pretty bad for sure, but I figured out some great remedies: 1). Inspired from the original Malmsten Swedish googles' assembly instructions, I got some hemp thread from a local fabric store, doubled the thread up, put it through the holes, and tied 2 knots. Now the nose bridge feels really strong, and fits just right. 2). I went to Swimoutlet.com, and bought a few goggle bungee straps, and it works way better than the original head strap.Now I am pretty sure, my goggles will be a piece of worry-free swim gear for some time.

These are much more red than pictured--you see red through them, which is a bit disconcerting. But I suppose that makes sense if you consider the manufacturing process. They just take red goggles and metallize them.

Theses goggles fit pretty well specially because it's got a soft rubber nose bridge.The downside is the red lenses. If you are going to do indoor swimming I recommend lenses color different than red, they are too dark for indoor pool.
