After thinking about these goggles since someone posted them here in November, I decided to finally shed the 30 bucks buy one online, as they looked quite cool. I was all excited about trying them on the pool on Monday, and couldn't figure out how to wear them without them leaking! Thought it might've been the nose piece, changed for a bigger one (I was using the smallest one) and yesterday gave it another try and I would either have them leaking a lot (no fun swimming with an eye closed), or I'd be seeing double and after a couple of flip turns waaaay too far from the wall (that happens when you see double!) I gave up and went home.
Has anyone else here tried these goggles and had luck with them? I'm willing to sell mine (only been used twice and barely used both times), if you're interested in giving them a try (they must work for someone, right??) send me a private message, and I'll sell to the best offer + shipping... I still have the nose pieces and the neat case it comes with. The goggles are clear color. Would hate to just throw them out after spending $30!
Iot a pair a couple of weeks ago and I think I will like them for meets. I took me about 30 min.of adjusting them-swimming-adjusting again before they stopped leaking and then they were too tight for comfort in a workout. Good Luck

The eye socket is much smaller than regular goggles (if I put them too tight I felt like I couldn't really blink), though they extend further on the side of the head.

I bought a pair and had the same problem. They're now stashed in my locker, along with about four other pairs of goggles I tried and didn't like. Someone needs to invent a "swimmer's goggle swap" or something so I can unload all my rejects! :D

Oh, wouldn't that be great? I figured for the price it must work for someone!

I'm sure it's done for the looks value.
Give me a tried and true pair of Swedish goggles. Cheap as it comes and works every time (first few days though kind of hurt)

This woudl be a great thing to do at big meets when your not busy swimming. I think that it woudl be easy to organize. You could enter a room with your goggles (in good condition) and swap them out for goggles that were already there. My big problem is that Ihave about 6 pairs of goggles that are all very old. Who'd want them?
Indygal suggest it to Mel. He might like the idea. It woudl be a great way to chat with other peole at meets!
