TYR Socket Rockets 2.0 Racing Metallized Goggle (Metallic Fire)

I recently started swimming for exercise, and have been struggling to find a pair of goggles that work for me. I bought almost a dozen pairs over the last few weeks, but they all had the same issues - mainly that they leaked something fierce, no matter how tight I kept them. They also, weirdly, would leak the most when I exhaled through my nose during freestyle. Not ideal. I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of expensive custom fit goggles, but decided to try these first. Several swimming YouTube channels mentioned Swede style goggles, so I decided to "take the plunge", as it were, and buy a pair. I'm glad I did! My eyes are apparently much more deeply set than I realized, paired with a pronounced brow ridge, and well...I can see why other goggles leak so badly. Not these bad boys! I most recently wore them for about an hour, and they were extremely comfortable. I only adjusted them a few times since the sides of my nose were getting a bit pinched. But no leaks! Biggest downsides were the flexible nose piece snapped immediately (replaced it with the string), and the fact that these have just about no actual mirroring. I did backstroke and had to close my eyes against the sun, it was so bright. Overall, though, comfortable, lightweight, look cool. Definitely worth the price. Recommended!

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!

BOTH rubber straps on the nose bridge and head strap snapped on the first day. Head strap snapped first, then after i tied the back, nose strap snapped next. Been through hundreds of Swedish racing goggles before so its not like I was putting them through any excessive tension. I’ve had rubber straps snap before, but it means you’d have to be selling some pretty old inventory that’s been sitting around for more than a year or so. I only bought these a month ago. Rubbish.

I swam competitively through high school, and these were my goggles of choice. 6 years later and I am getting back in the pool to swim laps, and these were the first pair I looked for. The quality is still there. Easy to adjust, and you're off. It is also a nice perk that they are one of the nicest looking pairs out there. If you are a parent looking to buy your child a pair, these may not be the best for young children, but for middle school and on these are fantastic for anyone looking to compete. They fit well, and stay on. Many other types I have used would either fall off while starting off the blocks, or would fog/leak throughout the race.

Not everyone will like socket rocket style, I dont mind them because when theyre on They arent coming off no matter what. However They do get tiresome after a while. I think these are perfect for sprinting, etc., where goggles coming off during entry is a real concern. They need to change the head straps though to a style that allows for fast tightening. Literally every other goggle available uses a better design. I frankensteined my socket rocket with different straps and now theyre great, but that shouldnt have been necessary. Get it together, Tyr.

Work great in the pool and ocean. Clear vision in even cloudy water.

Recieved product with 2"x3" adhesive stain on the clear window of the package and a ripped top section. Removing the goggles showed a fingerprint on the lens and the protective stickers were peeled up. The rubber nose bridge was broken on one side. Replaced with enclosed string and tube. Definitely appeared used or mishandled. All other aspects appear fine. UPDATE - Compared to Malmsten's these are better in the following. Better vision, easier adjistment to seal out leaks, no fog actually works. Would buy again, but not from this seller.

I swim laps, usually every other day, and every day during summer. This is the only brand of swim goggles that I know of that has a soft rubber, adjustable nose bridge. No other kind of goggles work for big-nose me. They not only fit with comfort, they also last for months. My only caution is, you must thoroughly rinse them off after use, particularly after swimming in salt water. When I have encountered suction problems, it was after salt water use. Any version of TYR Socket Rockets are the best.
