Is this good for practice lap swimming? I need one that is comfortable for long swimming, doesn't leak and doesn't get foggy.

I bought these and they are quite comfortable and doesn't leak. Only issue is that the strap broke in less than 2 month of the use. Straps are hard to find and if at all you find them, they are expensive.

Yes, absolutely. They feel silky, no leaking (once you fit them to your head), no fogging up. You can swim forever with these goggles.

I use these for lap swims, they seem to fog up a little some times but if I take them off and swish the fog with my thumb it doesn't usually fog up again. My swims usually last between 30 and 45 minutes.

I think they're pretty good. I use them for hour-long practices and they're very comfortable and rarely leak. Normally any leak just requires readjusting them once and then they're good the whole practice. As for being foggy, they still fog up as much as my last pair of Speedos, so that would be the only downside. I still feel like they're not quite as foggy as other goggles I've used, though.

The suit is fairly stretchy, and easier to swim in than a full suit. I haven't really tried to swim many laps with it on, although I have worn it in the pool and swum a few laps. It wouldn't be my first choice to swim laps with a wet suit on, but once you're in the water, this suit is comfortable.

I would stray away from this one. I bought it for long dirt bike rides where you can get extremely exhausted miles away from water. This one leaked since the first time I tried it. It was very cold out and my back was soaked. Also, the nozzle was a big let down. You actually have to open and close it like a pop-up water bottle. My buddy bought a fox brand water pack and has had it for over a year, on multiple rides. He has fallen on it and it has never leaked. His nozzle is also a great design. It is a soft material and all you do is bite it gently and suck. No hands needed. Hope this helps. I would stray away from this one.

I've been using them for months now and I'm an avid lap swimmer. They truly are the best invention for swimming. Makes my laps much more enjoyable.

sorry, never tried to swim w/it. It doesn't have a problem w/sweat, if that helps.

William, I think a tradional surf or diving wetsuit would be too hot for out-of-water sport activities. They are incredible insulators, so I would be concerned about overheating or dehydration. I wear my suit half way (to the waist) when I goto the beach. The drive is only 15 minutes, but in that short time of inactivity I'm starting to get very warm. Also, there is the chafing factor. Tradional surf wetsuits will chaf surfers in high friction areas such as the armpits and neck. I can only imagine the chafing you'd get if you ran in one! If you still wish to wear a wetsuit in your workouts, my recommendation would be to look at the lighter weight wetsuits that triathletes use.

After 45 minutes of continuous free style swimming it becomes a little uncomfortable on my forehead even though it is not too tight. But I do not swim for more than 45 minutes. Snorkel has no effect on the eyes. The goggles are uncomfortable on the eyes after 45 minutes! This is a great product, I've been using them for several years now and will be buying a spare one. They get a bit cloudy after a long period of usage, soaked in chlorinated water brings them back to squeaky clean, however there will be an after smell of chlorine which takes a few days to clear up, that is why I am buying a second set.

Absolutely the best swim trainer, There is a strap between legs that you can adjust. It gives kids such confidence in the water and you won't have to worry about it slipping off.

These goggles are great for competitive swimmers. They have a very soft silicone seal. They should not leak if they fit correctly. It's difficult to say they would not leak or to guarantee it because fit is a very personal thing.

Yes, this is perfect for open water swimming and/or swimming in a very cold pool. It has a lot of flexibility. Water doesn't enter the neck of mine, and I purchased it a size too big for easier on/off.

i just had someone tell me on a recent trip (1-17-15) they went snorkeling in costa rica and it was the first time they used the masked and she said it did not leave a line and was super comfortable, and everybody had the same equipment/brand and were all very happy with this product...the water temp might have a bit to do with the lines too...if its colder the material might contract more and warmer stays softer..these waters were definitely warmer and again no lines, very comfortable mask and the fins did not leave or wear any blisters on the feet anywhere...hope this helps :)

I mainly use the band to keep my earbuds on, but I've used it with earplugs and they are even better. Answering your question, yes they did work for me while lap swimming, it gets a few times to find the perfect place though, but once you've got it you'll have no problem.If you are going to use earplugs I strongly advice using some silicone ones, as Christmas tree or other type of earplugs protruding from ears can cause pain over time (with the band on)

We are using it in the pool for the first few weeks of swim team. Our outdoor pool just opened, and our practices start next week, and I'm expecting it to still be to chilly to swim without something like this :) I just plan to make sure to rinse it after every practice.If you are asking if it will be too warm in the summer, I'm not sure about that. It would be warmer than just a regular swim suit.

Yes, Lukewarm water is fine but I'd also consider paying $5 more for Bluewave or something else with a little tip to have air flow for smooth water flow. This one, I have to leave the cap slightly open vs Bluewave brands w an air breather.

Hi Julie, this is a fantastic swim mask, but it would be terrible for snorkeling. I completly agree with the other answers.Good luck.

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.
