We blind tested! Aquagear Hands Down!
581932
We bought ours about 9 months ago. It works great!  There's a huge difference in our water quality! My adult children came home for Thanksgiving. I was pouring them a glass from the pitcher and they looked skeptical. So I ran a blind test.  I gave them each a glass with unfiltered water, then the Aquagear water.  Tasting it myself as well, there was an extraordinary difference in taste! DC water is metalic and chalky. Aquagear is fresh and tasteless! They were sold! Our Washington, DC water is so messed up that one of our pots was ruined after the sediment from the evaporated water ate a hole in the bottom! No lie!  We can't afford a whole house filter but we can at least consume filtered water.  I calculated purchasing bottled water vs the pitcher.  No contest.  We're saving hundreds of dollars a year with our filtered Aquagear water.  I have no complaints!  You just have to pay attention. When it slows down and takes too long to filter, it's time for a new filter.  In our case, every 3 months.

I do not review products at all but this is too good to be left out. I just used FINIS Swimmer Snorkel for the first time (2 hours ago) and it is freaking awesome! Initially I thought that the snorkel will obstruct my view since it goes over the head but it does NOT at all. It fits perfectly and it is awesome.

I could not stop swimming with this, the GYM had to call the cops to stop me (just kidding). This is the best swimming device I have ever purchased. I swim more laps and burn more calories.

THANK YOU FINIS!!

When I first started swimming I bought dirt cheap goggles that sucked b/c the gasket was foam, and glued on, and almost immediately began to leak. So I upgraded to cheap TYR and they did the trick, mostly. I would get water in occasionally, and no amount of coatings would prevent fogging. I watched the 2016 summer Olympics and said damn! Phelps is fast, what does he use for goggles, they look ultra badass, yada yada, I bought these.

Now I bought the mirrored lenses with yellow strap. It is perfectly midrange. I am not a competitive swimmer, I swim purely for the sake of learning not to drown as a grown ass man. These goggles are super slick. They are like an Audi of the pool. The eyelets are actually kinda small, but not in a throbbing kind of way. It perfectly cups your eye socket and doesn't jut out as much as other types. The curved outsides allow for somewhat more peripheral vision. It's really negligible I've concluded. It actually comes with 4 types of replaceable nose widths. You can swap out which one you like. Narrow to wide, which I already did. The mirror is nice, like tinted sunglasses. I haven't used them outside so can't comment on glare. The band is tight and unobtrusive.

I was not prepared, however, for the goggles to magnify my view underwater. My old TYR certainly did not. As soon as I went under, my vision seemed like I had mild strength magnifying glasses on. I gradually got used to it, to the point where it doesn't bother me now, but be aware, it's not 1:1 anymore underwater. Yes, a bit strange sensation. Also I've soon found out, the anti-fog ability is a myth. I recently used baby shampoo in combination with water on the insides and that seemed to work well enough.

So at the end of the day, do these enhance my vision, turn me into a dolphin and give me that killer advantage? Eh, depends, it's probably all in my head - BUT if so, that's no reason not to consider these amazing goggles.

PS - I am also keeping them in the case they arrived in, b/c even plastic scratches in a swim bag, who knew.

We have tried several different goggles and these are hands down the best. Plus they look really cool. I love the uv eye protection, it's like wearing sunglasses while swimming and they don't fog. Also unlike some goggles we don't have a problem with these getting water in them when he dives in. These fit nice and snug again the eye. A must buy!

We tried MANY other products from the local pool store to clear our super cloudy water. The chlorine levels were fine so I was getting frustrated when I saw this at Walmart. I figured it's only $20 bucks so why not? We tossed it in before leaving for church, turned the pump on, and come home to crystal clear water. Three hours later! I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Before I couldn't see the vacuum at the bottom; after, I could tell you what kind of leaf was down there! No joke.

The directions do say that you have to balance your chemicals and kill all algae first. This won't work if you don't.

My husband and I recently moved into an apartment complex with extremely bad/hard water even though it is city water. I could not wash my hair without getting extremely frustrated. Shampoo wouldn't lather, my hair would knot up and when I used soap it didn't even feel like it! We both had extremely dry, uncomfortable skin.

We went to Home Depot and purchased the Sprite filter system and were very unsatisfied. It helped a little bit, but still made showering frustrating. We were at the point where we wanted to give up and maybe move out.

After some research, we decided to purchase the Aquasana filter and WOW. It is like night and day. I've only showered 3 times with it and I am already very impressed. My hair is soft again and my skin is feeling way better! If anyone has the same problem we did, I would highly recommend this! I don't know what else to say besides this product is AWESOME.

I have used an Aqua Sphere "Seal" swim mask for the last three years, and I have been pretty pleased with it.  That mask kept my eyes drier and more comfortable than any conventional swim goggle.  My only complaint was that I had to cinch it down pretty tight to maintain a good seal.  About a week ago, I decided it was time to replace my mask and opted for the Aqua Sphere "Vista" (mainly because I thought it looked a little less dorky than the "Seal").  After putting five miles on the new "Vista" mask this week, I am blown away!  It is even better than the "Seal."  The skirt that rests on your face seems softer, more pliable and more form fitting than ever.  Honestly, I have not had a single leak yet, and I have not had to keep the mask uncomfortably tight.

Of course, everyone's face is a little different, and (as they say on TV) your results may vary.  I have a pretty ... um ... healthy-size nose that bends to the left and has a bump on the right near the top, so I'm guessing that if this mask works for me, it will work for most people.

Some Amazon reviewers have suggested that the prominent profile of Aqua Sphere masks (like the "Seal" and the "Vista") might create more drag than conventional goggles.  If you are a world-class athlete competing in a big race, then that might be a concern for you.  I am a 59 year-old recreational/fitness swimmer and not concerned about shaving hundredths (or even tenths) of a second off my time, so if the mask is creating a bit of drag, I am unable to detect it.  (The drag created by my nose is, of course, a different story.)

Finally, the Aqua Sphere "Vista" offers a great field of view.  In my experience, the lens starts out crystal clear, fogs slightly after about 15 minutes of continuous swimming, and clears on its own after a few minutes more of continuous swimming.

You really owe it to yourself to give this mask a try.

APRIL 12, 2012 UPDATE:
I have continued to have great success with the Aqua Sphere Vista this week.  After another five or six miles spread out over 5 swim sessions, I still have not experienced a single leak, and the comfort has been phenomenal.  The small fogging problem I mentioned before continues, but as before, the fog goes away on its own about 10 minutes after it starts.

April 20, 2012 UPDATE:
Still no leaks.  The fogging was getting a little worse, so I bought an anti-fogging treatment (Speedo Anti-Fog Goggle Solution) (available on Amazon), used it according to directions and had no fog at all during my mile swim today.  I understand that the anti-fog coating on all goggles and swim masks is temporary, so I remain very upbeat about about this Aqua Sphere product.

We live in an apartment where the tap water tastes like chemicals. For awhile I kept buying spring water from the grocery store, which adds up seeing as it costs at least $1 per gallon. Aqua gear gives you 150 gallons per filter, so upon doing the math you're looking at only 33 cents per gallon since the filters are 50 dollars each. So big savings right there! Not to mention it was a pain running to the store all the time for water. At first I was looking at the cheap Brita filters that cost 10 bucks, but then I compared it to this filter aquagear. When you read the facts, Brita doesn't even compare. Aquagear eliminates far more than brita does. Just visit YouTube and and watch them poor Gatorade into each filter. You'll see crystal clear liquid come out of aquagear, while orange Gatorade still comes out of brita. That video is what sold me and made me spend the $70 on aquagear instead of $10 on brita. Plus it reduces fluoride by 90 percent! Brita doesn't touch fluoride and instead tells you it's good for you. While it's true fluoride is beneficial for your teeth, studies show it may not be so great for our bodies so why are we adding it to our water? Anyway, aquagear was very easy to set up. Just attatch the filter to your sink using the red ring they provide for you, and turn the cold water on slowly. If you see water overflowing, just gently lower the water pressure. Let it run for 2 minutes to flush the filter out for its first use. KEEP the red attachment because you'll use it in the future for your new filters, and to flush your current filter if you ever feel the need to. I let mine air dry for awhile before placing it in a plastic bag to protect it from dust while it sits in a cabinet. I then placed the filter into the pitcher as instructed, filled it with water (be patient, it takes longer than brita because it filters more, but not too long), and tasted the water when done. The water tastes just like spring water, no hint of chemicals at all! It's great and I highly recommend!

One last thing, if you contact aquagear you can ask for a mailing address to have your old filters recycled by them. All their filters are 100% recyclable. They will email you a shipping label, so postage is covered already. All you have to do is print the label, attach it to the box or mailer (whatever you choose) that contains the filter, and send it out in the mail. What a great way to protect the environment!

I have been an avid swimmer all my life, but I have always had issues with goggles fitting properly. They would typically slip up, fill halfway with water, and fog up terribly. Finally, I have found goggles that won't do any of these things! The fit is snug but comfortable and the goggles are completely water tight. They are also fully adjustable, which means I can secure them down as tight as I need them.

I love the electroplating on these swim goggles. I have very sensitive eyes and I always worry about UV ray exposure when I am at the beach. Of course, with it being late in the season, these goggles have only taken me to the pool so far. Nevertheless, it's nice to know that in the summertime I will have excellent protection for my eyes and all of the benefits of anti-fogging goggles. I'm really very excited. I was honestly unsure about these goggles because of the price, because let's face it, you usually get what you pay for. This is so untrue here, as these goggles offer way more value than the price I paid. I'm absolutely in love!

Best blind on the market.  Spend the money!  Pretty easy and quick setup and breakdown, great outer material, plenty of space for multiple people, silent windows...Best blind out there hands down!  Love their chair too, a must have accessory.

In terms of value, this is the best item I have ever purchased from Amazon.  I am horrifically near-sighted and have always struggled when it comes to swimming.  Normally I wear glasses, so to swim I would have to put in my contact lenses.  Not a huge deal, but kind of a pain.  I have prescription sunglasses and I have considered prescription goggles but assumed they would be very expensive.  I saw these on Amazon and was a bit skeptical about how clear my vision would be.  I was shocked when I put these on the first time.  I can see almost as well as my regular glasses (and by almost, I mean 95% as well) and I can see BETTER than my contact lenses!  I purchased these back in May 2014 and wear them in our pool all summer long and they are still in perfect condition.  They only issue I have experienced is lens fogging.  But I spray some anti-fog spray on the lenses and the problem is solved.  Bottom line is, a good pair of regular goggles can cost $15-$20 so it's almost like you're getting the corrective lenses thrown in for free.

I recently started swimming ~4 hours per week, and after a few swims, my new $30+ Zoggs goggles started fogging up. I couldn't bring myself to buy a new pair, and I knew there must be a solution to the problem, since every single pair of goggles I have bought have had this problem in the past. I found this on Amazon, and trusted the great reviews and they were absolutely right.
I simply spray once in every eye, rub it in, then wash it with water before every swim. The clearness and lack of fog is spectacular. Such a difference from the I-can't-see-anything-beyond-my-arm. The longest I've had them on is 2hours and the effect was still there. Absolute must buy for any semi-recreational swimmer.

Best goggles for our swimmer. Inner eye fit- won't buy other brands/types!

My daughter loves these goggles!  I've worked with her over the last several weeks on holding her breath under water.  Most of the times we would get to 3-5 seconds with her max being 6 seconds.  For a 4 year old just learning how to swim, I thought that was really good.  Today we took her to the pool and she tried them on.  At first she was hesitant because of the elastic strap that fits tightly on her head (what you want for goggles).  After she relaxed she swam around for a while with them on.  We tried to go under water and it turned out to be the best purchase of the summer.  She was able to see under the water instead of having to close her eyes, getting scared, and coming back up.  She went from 6 seconds under water to 16 seconds under the water!!!  All because she could see and was able to relax!

When looking through the goggles, you can see very clearly without any type of distortion.  The quality is very good and durable.  The outside of the goggles do not scratch easily, as we tested this after 5 seconds of opening the box (daughter dropped them and then stepped on them by accident).  The double bands are really nice because they're all adjustable so these can be used for kids or adults but add durability to the goggles.  The pink is a light pink, almost a salmon like color and my girls love it!

I'm always skeptical when it comes to goggles but this was a great purchase for me.  My daughter deals with a lot of anxiety but these helped her to relax and have fun!  I would highly recommend them for EVERYONE!

I received this product at a discounted price for my honest review.  I have no affiliation with the seller or manufacturer.

Blown away by the quality! I ordered this pair of swim goggles as part of a promotion and wow i'm so glad I did! I immediately noticed the nice and nifty case it came in and then the goggles themself are awesome. I put them on my head and barely pushed and they sealed like a champ and the fit was snug but comfortable. Also the side "windows" are a big plus. I'm training for a 1/2 Ironman and can't wait to use these on my open water swims and pool training! LOVE is an understatement!

Tried lots of goggles--either leaked, or foggy, or uncomfortable.  Love these!  I see clear as a bell. I'm going to have some of my friends who swim try mine, because they won't believe it, and I bet that they'll order them too!

These goggles are fantastic.  A total game changer.  I've owned probably 10+ pairs of goggles in my life and most are a total pain to adjust, fit either too snug where your eyes feel like they're in a compression chamber, or too loose where you're constantly removing water.  These goggles on the other hand not only fit tightly in an instant (by pulling the side straps easily) they loosen quickly (by pressing the latches on the sides).  I purchased the polarized lens version which not only acts like a great pair of sunglasses in the water, but helps reduce glare.  Can't say enough great things about these.  My only wish would be for the polarized lenses to come as part of other body colors.
