has anyone used the goggles for open water ocean swim?

I have not. But I'm very happy with these goggles and use them three or four times a week when I swim laps. They are very comfortable and rarely leak.

I would not recommend them for snorkeling. But they work well for lap training in a pool.

Yes, there are actually strap adjustments on the ends/sides of the goggles. Not sure exactly what to call them... but they are pretty nifty and easy. You can actually adjust them while they are on your head. You can pull the excess straps and you can hear the "clicking" sound as it locks and gets tighter. If too tight, there are release buttons on them too for it to loosen. Easiest goggles to adjust I've ever used.

I own these fins -purchased a few years ago. They have held up beautifully for swimming in the ocean about one to two miles almost every day. Their weakest point is the strap. Be sure you always wet the fins and put them on wet feet. Then the strap is no trouble. I even use these as my dive fins now, really love them. So comfortable. These are the only fins I use now - and I have many different types from before I found these.They would not be good for deep free diving, however,

I don't know . I use those for my swim goggles only . I noticed however that my goggles will get foggy ( despite the Artificial spit) if i will shower with hot water before entering the pool ( simulating the body heat scenario). It is a good idea - I may try it in the winter.

Yes, I feel these goggles can. The eye cups have good suction and are comfortable too.

Yes they are. These goggles are amazing. My son loves them. They do not fog up, don't leak and fit well!! Easy to get on and off!

hi, none of us are opticians. I'd give them a call and ask. That way you'll get a pair of goggles that you can use to read underwater - haha - but seriously, I was thrilled when I could see clearly underwater. It's worth the effort!

I've never tried them in the snow - all I know is that they're very thin compared to the snowboarding goggles I've seen at sun and ski.

I think that they are best I've ever had. I wear a neptune finis MP3 player with them. They will eventually start to fog. Forget about buying antifog treatments. Wash with shampoo occasionally (mild detergent), and every now and again, when they are completely dry, like before you jump into the water, spit into them and thoughly lick the inside of the lenses. Yes it sounds gross but your eyeballs are swimming in the same spit already and this coats the lens with a layer of protein. They stay perfectly clear after that. Doesn't work if they are already wet and try not to be seen doing this ("look everyone, that weirdo is french kissing their goggles!") I think that they are best I've ever had.

I do not snowboard so I do not have experience to apply. I think it may be the case that the strap is not strong enough to maintain placement on your head given the intensity I would think the sport would create. You may want to get a stronger elastic strap. The goggles are comfortable and light weight. I have not had any problem with fogging.

I have never worn them swimming. They are very easy to shape and seal the ear.

As a newer Go Pro user, i cant give my opinion from experience, but i did use the drying inserts, while snorkeling and in humid Jamaica and everything worked out great. I did use the filters some, but didn't notice a huge difference, didn't have any issue getting them to fit. I opted on the side of better to have it then not have it. Haven't used them since.

Not that I've had, but I haven't used it for extended underwater use. I've taken it swimming in rivers a couple of times and the pictures and video have come out clear.

We have not used for snorkeling, but my twin daughters (age 7) have used theirs at the pool all summer without a problem. They love them!

I used mine in the ocean and it did great! Although unless the water is super clear you won't be able to see anything.

I have not had trouble with them on bad weather days, but I did not let them get wet either. The Action Extremes have more eye relief so water vapor from your eye does not fog the outside of the cold eyepiece. You breath can fog it too if you are wearing a ski mask.
