Amazon.com Product Description The best-fitting swim goggle on the market, the Aqua Sphere Seal swim mask was first celebrated by Ironman triathletes, who praised its comfortable, watertight fit and easy-to-adjust buckles. However, these high-quality features soon became apparent to fitness and recreational swimmers as well, who use the goggles for swimming, jet skiing, surfing, and more. The Seal mask sports a dive-quality silicone skirt that's snug and secure, along with a patented curved lens that provides 180-degree peripheral vision without distortion. In addition, the Plexisol lens is protected by anti-scratch coating on the outside and an anti-fog coating on the inside, so you can easily see other swimmers in the water ahead. Finally, the mask is guaranteed to block 100 percent of the sun's harmful UV rays. Add the features together and you have a mask that lets you concentrate on your workout and not your equipment.
The Seal mask is available with two lens types: clear lenses, which are designed to provide the greatest visibility while swimming indoors or in low-light conditions, and tinted lenses, which are better when swimming outdoors or in bright light.

sometimes it sucks, sometimes it doesn'tAugust 18, 2010 Rocktapus i use this in the pool and in the ocean. i don't like how regular goggle push into my eye sockets, so i decided to use this mask instead. it's GREAT. i think it might be me, but the suction isn't always reliable because water gets into the mask sometimes....but again, it might just be me because that's a problem i have with most of my goggles....i'm saving the 5-stars for the pair of goggles that keeps my eyes dry.
i hiiighly reccomend these goggles though.
Not for EVERY headAugust 2, 2010 B. Johnson(Salt Lake City, UT USA) Like another reviewer said, this mask doesn't fit well if you've got a somewhat big/wide head. Shame on me for not fully testing this before a recent triathlon! I had to complete the darn swim portion using strokes other than freestyle--since anytime I twisted my head during freestyle, water leaked into the side of this mask. Clearly, it's one size fits *some*. If you happen to wear a large-ish hat size, think again about buying this particular mask.
Good Swim GogglesJuly 8, 2010 E. Jones(Illinois) These are good, lightweight and reasonably durable swim goggles. They don't squeeze the eye like conventional, small oval-lensed goggles, and are very comfortable. These clear goggles do not provide the sunglasses-like protection of the mirror or tinted lenses, but are better for low light conditions and do allow better color recognition. Note that these are swim goggles, and *not* a mask for snorkeling or scuba diving - they do not cover the nose and cannot be equalized for pressure at depth.
Great swim goggles!June 12, 2010 Suzanne Kindel(Laguna Beach, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I LOVE these goggles. I swim in a pool and in the ocean for about 5 hrs a week. These are so much more comfortable than regular goggles and gives you a much better area of vision. I highly recommend them. This is my 4th pair.
Great GogglesFebruary 6, 2010 L. Hoke 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Our family was going on a Disney Cruise vacation to the Bahamas and I needed goggles for all of those underwater activities. I wear contacts and wanted a pair of goggles that would give me a good seal and a wide range of vision. These goggles fit the bill and were very comfortable to wear. I would purchase this type again and plan to buy some for my daughter in the near future.
