TYR Racetech Performance Goggle Review

Take my review with a grain of salt because I am certainly not an experienced swimmer, but I tried this set of goggles after initially purchasing an excellent Speedo Vanquisher goggle which I only returned because they were "metallized" and I couldn't see anything in the indoor pool.

These TYR glasses were about half the price of the Vanquishers, but to me, they're not as good. The main thing that kills it for me is the configuration of the headstrap with the loose ends up front. I keep mine pretty tight, but at least 4 times in the last month, as I pull my goggles off my head, they've come loose, and I had to go fishing in the pool for the tiny square piece that you see in the picture. That doesn't happen with the Vanquisher, which doesn't have the same band setup. I'm sure I have attached it correctly as well my setup looks identical to the manufacturer picture.

These goggles also didn't anti-fog any where near as well as the Vanquishers. I'm making the switch to a non-metallized Vanquisher this week.

On the good side, the goggles do fit very well, and once they're on, they work pretty much without a hitch in the pool. An overall good/strong product, but somewhat problematic with the strap.

I used these goggles about three times a week for a year and a half straight. I was then unable to swim for a while and they were buried at the bottom of a drawer for another year. I am now back to swimming and am so impressed that these goggles have held up. Even the strap hasn't shown signs of snapping or breaking. They are just now starting to fog, but I use anti-fog spray and that does the trick. They leave minimal under-eye marks and are very comfortablemuch more so than the Speedo goggles I have used in the past. Visually, they are not as streamlined in appearance as some of the higher-end racing goggles, but they are just perfect for the swimmer who is in the pool for a good workout.

As a competitive swimmer, I have used these through high school and college swimming. Now, I still use them because they are definitely the goggles I trust the most! They are comfortable but keep water out! However, every person's face is different and everyone has different needs, so you may need to try different brands before you find the ones that fit you perfectly! I know I tried a few before these, and these were definitely the winner!

Honest reviews on TYR Racetech Performance Goggle

Some goggles don't fit your face right. Racetech fits me just fine. The only problems I have with this goggle is (a)the strap tends to wear out after a year or two and you can't always find a replacement strap, and (b) never touch the inside of the lens: that will in a few weeks fog up and become useless. Once, Racetech sent me a small envelope with 6 replacement straps. After that Racetech never answered my request for new straps. Overall, in spite of problems, I favor this goggle over other ones I've tried.I've used this brand for eight years.
