Ispeed Mirror Pro Swim Goggle

I do not write a lot of Amazon reviews. Very seldomly is a product so outstanding that it makes me want to stand up and rave about it. But that being said, THESE GOGGLES ARE THE REAL DEAL!My son is a varsity swimmer for his high school, and has been swimming since he was 8 years old. He is long and lean and has a very narrow face. Most of the swimmers on his team wear the Speedo Vanquisher goggles. Those gave my son terrible raccoon eyes and actually hurt him to wear. He hated them- and I hated wasting money on expensive goggles that he didn't like. For years he wore the Speedo Jr. Hydrospex goggles, but his face became too big for the Jr. size and not big enough for the adult size (he's 15 years old.)So about a year or so ago, I took to my trusty Amazon reviewers and started reading about goggles. I read hundreds of reviews, trying to find out which goggles might work for a smaller face, not fog up, have good suction, and feel comfortable while not falling off... and these seemed to fit the bill. The first time my son stuck them to his face, he laughed and said "I don't even need to use the strap- the suction is great!" Obviously, he uses the strap... but these don't leave raccoon eyes like the Vanquishers did. He loves them!So here's the funny part- the guys on his team have teased him about these goggles, because of course, they aren't name brand and therefore not considered "cool". So I went on Amazon and bought him some Speedo Michael Phelps goggles and some Vanquishers thinking, okay he's older, maybe we should try some of the fancier $35 goggles again? He made me send them back. He hated them. He LOVES these!Please don't ever stop making these goggles, iSpeed! I don't know what we'd do! I buy 2 or 3 pairs at a time (he swims 9 practices per week and every pair of goggles lasts for a month or two). We have only had 1 pair break... the rest either get lost or "borrowed"-- usually by the kids who had previously made fun of them! We also do find that after about a hundred wears, they start to fog up a bit. For $11 per pair, we can easily replace them. Thank you, iSpeed, for a great product at a great price!

There are various versions of these goggles on amazon right now, and you can recognize them by appearance and their cases. I have two pairs branded as Zoma, or Structure. These looked the same, so I ordered them. First off I ordered the black pair and received the blue pair, but I decided to keep them. Visually they look identical to the Zoma goggles, as expected, but then I looked a little closer at the construction. I've seen reviews where people mention the plastic loop where the rubber head strap feeds through has broken. That piece on this pair of goggles does look thinner and not as robust as the Zoma goggles. The fit is the same, and they both have extra nose pieces to adjust the fit. When I first tried them on they were too tight, both at the nose and head straps. I switched out the nose piece (be careful not to touch the inside of the goggles if you do this), and then adjusted the straps. The strap is a little short as you don't need a lot of pressure to keep these goggles on, that's what makes them so comfortable. I have back up parts from one pair of Zoma goggles just in case. For me, they distort my vision under water very minimally, and that is normally a huge problem I have. They don't require much pressure to seal around your eyes, and they don't leak. Do they fog? Well I find that after 15-20 minutes of fast paced swimming that they will fog a little bit, but not enough to require you to stop and rinse them. Just don't touch the inside of the lens, and that will help prolong the antifog coating.

Summary:After having Speedo Vanquisher, Aqua Sphere Kayenne, and other goggles, this one is the most good looking one. It is as comfortable as the Aqua Sphere Kayenne and the visibility is better than most, except Aqua Sphere which is a bit wider. I ended up using this and the Aqua Sphere Kayenne a lot simply because of the visibility and the comfort level that these two offer.Likes:1. Comes in a plastic case with 3 size adjustable nose bridges, which is important2. High quality material all around3. Watertight, yet still comfortable on the eyes and face4. Standard anti-fog coating with UV protection5. Really good looking goggleDislike:After using this for months, I'm still very happy with it.This goggle seems to be designed more on the comfort/performance side rather than race (not that you can't use it for races), but it is thicker/bigger than the typical smaller racing goggle. This is more like Lexus, very comfortable and great for day to day swim rather than a Formula-1 type of vehicle that's really design for less drag, but sacrificing the comfort and the visibility you get from Ispeed Mirror Pro Swim Goggle.The anti-fog coating lasted for about a week (being used daily for about 1 hour in a chlorinated pool) before it started to degrade, just like most goggles I have. To keep the anti-fog last, it's best not to touch the inside of the lens if possible and simply rinse in cool tap water after you swim. In case that the anti-fog is diminishing, the "Jaws Quick Spit Antifog Spray" is a good alternative.Happy Swimming!
