Alright, who is using the Magic5 goggles?

Wondering how many people here have tried those. I contributed to their kickstart campaign. Was going to get some for my daughters, but they never would actually do the face scan, so I lost that investment. Eventually decided to get some for myself. Initially loved them. Bought two pair, a clear (well, blue) one, and a lightly tinted one. Got a 3rd dark pair for outdoor swimming in the middle of the day. That pair never worked as well. At any rate, at this point, none of them work particularly well. They leak, and they make my eye sockets sore. All of them. I kind of joke to myself that they were indeed magic, for about 5 weeks. So I'm back to vanquishers. Wondering if anyone else had similar or better or worse experiences.

  • Just saw this topic. I really, really like my Magic 5 goggles and have about 4 different colors for indoor /outside swimming. I've also given several gift-cards as gifts. The very first pair I received was less comfortable than I imagined and on my first dive off the blocks in a meet, the band separated from the goggles. The company is VERY responsive to their customer's needs and will do anything, even refund 100% and keep the goggles if they just don't work for you. My friend felt guilty about that, but I assured them the company wants a good experience for everybody.

    Yes, anti fog never lasts too long, especially with the time I spend in the pool. I just keep a travel bottle of baby shampoo for my pre-swim routine.

    Two very important additions they do for me (ask for this):

    1. Have them put extra foam padding around the eye sockets, much more comfortable. 

    2. Add extra adhesive at the band attachment. I've swam many events since my first pair and have had zero problems with my block starts..
