Finding good-fitting goggles is often a science. They need to fit well, not leak, be comfortable and fulfil their purpose. So I took the Speedo Hydropulse Mirror swimming goggles with me to the pool to see how they actually fit on my face.
The Speedo Hydropulse Mirror swim goggles have a soft silicone nose bridge, they also have more silicone around the eyes, so they didn't pinch me anywhere even after 2 hours of swimming. Their other positive is the extended eyecups, so you have more peripheral vision and I personally liked that a lot about the goggles. At the same time, the glasses are mirrored so they provide you with protection from the sun and for me personally, they are a great stylish accessory. As for the elastic strap, it is split into 2 parts so it didn't slip anywhere and my goggles remained on all the time. The only thing that didn't quite work for me with the goggles was the shape, but that's not entirely their fault. After all, the key is to find goggles that fit you, not to fit the goggles.
So for me, those goggles are suitable for all recreational swimmers who are looking for a combination of comfort, style, functionality and reasonable price.
Designed in universal size for adults.
The eyepieces have mirror adjustment so that they can be used even in outdoor swimming without any problems. Mirror-colored goggles provide protection against sunlight and glare, but it's also a design issue.
Antifog is an antifog layer inside the eyepieces. This layer significantly reduces glare. We recommend that you wash your swimming glasses with clean water after swimming and, before putting it into the case keep your goggles dry completely. Do not wipe your goggles with any handkerchiefs or touch them, damage the anti-fog layer, and the goggles will become foggy.
UV-filter absorbs dangerous UVA and UVB radiation, which can damage your vision. The goggles with UV-filter are suitable for outside and inside swimming.
The goggles have a wide angle of vision, providing you wide view and you can observe the surroundings. Ideal for swimmers on open water or triathlon.
Swimming goggles have a double straps. This type of tape is designed as one long elastic band, which is doubled. Its advatage is that it fits to the head better, you can put one strap above and one below or set each of them according to your needs. The great advantage of these straps is that even if they are torn they can easily be replaced by new ones.
The goggles have a flexible nose bridge. This type of nose bridge is not adjustable. This means that the connection of the eyepieces is fixed. However, the flexible nose bridge is very soft, flexible and easily adapts to to the swimmer's face. In addition, there is no risk of its loss or release.
It is designed as unisex.
