TYR Socket Rockets 2.0 Racing Goggle

I have used Swede racing goggles my whole life, but wanted something softer for my eyes. These fit like Swedes, seal like Swedes and even have the Swedish nosepiece if you like to have a fixed nosepiece. They don’t leak, they don’t hog and are crystal clear. I bought two more pairs.

I was hesitant about ordering these - I hate the feeling of small goggles pressing on my eye balls during long workouts and tend to go with bigger models for training. But for the price I figured I'd give them a try and maybe keep them just for meets. I am very surprised by the comfort and overall fit. I swim about 4000m 3x a week and these goggles never leak, fall off on off-the-block starts or leave marks around my eyes afterwards. As others pointed out, they do not have anti-fog coating and fog up very quickly. But to me this is not a problem - that coating doesn't last long anyways and good old spit or shampoo takes care of the problem easily.

I have to say that once you get used to them, they are a very good pair of goggles. They are not foggy. You have to work with the adjustments until you get the correct fit. Very light. It sometimes feels like they are too tiny but you get used to that.

I used to use swedes all the time until I noticed one day in the mirror I was developing permanent bags under my eyes. It wasn't because I was sleep deprived, but from my swedes causing bruises around my eye sockets. I switched to these and wish I had done it years ago. They fit and look the same but feel significantly more comfortable. The soft rubber or silicon around the edge of the sockets make a water tight seal and don't bruise or cut my eyes. They do scratch up easily, so take care not to throw them in the bottom of your equipment bag. The rubber straps do lose their stretch after about 6 months of daily use. I swim for my college, and these are the perfect training goggle. I would highly recommend them.

I swam for over 15 years, including 4 years NCAA Div 1 college swimming. I always used "Sweedish goggles", mostly because of price, low profile and great peripheral vision. These goggles have all that plus a nice slim rubber gasket around the eye sockets that make this an extremely comfortable fit. Since I've been "retired" for nearly 10 years from competitive swimming, and now doing triathalons, the comfort of these really help for long workouts and competitions. They hold up really well in salt water. Recommendations: 1. Get bungee straps. The laytex straps that come with this are standard, and they will rot with prolonged chlorine usage unless you're really good about washing your goggles off after every practice (which nobody does). 2. Use the string for the nose bridge. Very few people will find success of using the rubber goggle strap as a nose bridge. 3. Replace the lenses every 6-12 months. The anti-fog on these goggles is OK, but if you're really picky and must have your goggles crystal clear, expect to replace them every 6+ months. If you can easily handle fog, then replace them 12 months.

I bought 3 speedo goggles and this TYR goggle after reading lots of reviews. I was disappointed with the quality of the TYR. We went swimming twice and spent a lot of time trying to adjust these goggles so they would work for my daughter. They are very difficult to adjust as their is only one plastic piece that holds both sides of elastic. When you try to tighten one side, the other side gets loose. My daughter's hair kept getting pulled into the plastic piece as I was trying to do a slight adjustment. Because of the number of good reviews, I think they must work once you get them perfectly adjusted, we just never got there after wasting most of our swim time for two weeks. The speedos on the other hand, worked for every person in our family without any adjustments. The quality of materials was noticeably better (in the speedos) at a glance. They worked... no water in our eyes. The TYR were constantly leaking water into my daughter's eyes even though we probably spent 30 minutes each week working on adjusting them. I tried them as well to see if they might work better on a different face, but had no success at all in keeping water out of them. I am returning these and getting speedo vanquishers.

Quite nice color, comfortable to use indoors. I swim in the evenings and it's OK. Comfortable, but maybe it's not the perfect gear for everyday training, you have to get use to these and your eye sockets can hurt a little but once you manage to adjust the goggles everything is OK. I swim 1 hr and have no prob, but I make short breaks and take the goggles off for a minute. Do fog a little, but I use some liquid soap for babies and have no problem whatsoever. No leak after adjustment (took me 5 minutes). I have 2 months swimming and I can recommend the goggles. I bought this item because I have my left eyebrow pierced and other goggles hurt me a little since they sit exactly over the piercing, but the shape and size of socket rockets is good enough to cope with this little issue. I have used Arena and Tyr so far and these ones are the best. Very light, few seconds after wearing them you barely remember you have them on.

I have been a swimmer for about 6 years. Ive just always used speedo vanquishers, but a friend of mine recently got a pair of these and I though I'd give them a try. We both love them! We wanted to try swedish goggles, but weren't sure if we were ready to "commit" to full on all plastic sweds. These are a great balance. You get the visibility and light weight, but with the silicone around the outside, they are nice and comfortable. They take some adjusting and patience to get the fit just right, but they are comfortable and feel good.

Llevo más de 6 meses usandolos, se han deteriorado por el cloro en el agua, los uso tres veces por semana. Pero no se han empañado, el secreto está en enjuagarlos al salir de la alberca y nunca tocar con el dedo la parte interna del lente. Son cómodos para entrenar, no apritan, pero tampoco son flojos, hacen un buen sellado. Recomiendo comprar un case para transportarlos, si bien no se han rallado, pienso el case los protege bien.

Gafas suecas de toda la vida con los bordes de silicona. El sistema para atrapar el tamaño me ha gustado mucho. Compraré más en el futuro

Fit perfect

I love the style, but they have fogged up on me since the first use. Hard to swim if you can't see where you are going. Very disappointed
