Barracuda Standard Swim Goggles

How would you rate the product on a scale of 1-5 with one being the not very good and 5 being excellent? The goggles and the carrying case I’ll give a 4 to each.

What features do you like about the product? The foam seals are why I still buy these – I’ve been using these for over 30 years, and they’re really the only things that work for me on a bidaily basis.

What features are not so good? The rubber straps don’t last very long, especially if one is not good about keeping the goggles dry after use. I usually wind up replacing these straps with bungee cords, which are just as comfortable, but last longer. It would be better if Barracuda offered a product that took bungee cords from the start. Sometimes getting the bungee cords (even the kind intended as replacement straps for swim goggles) through the slots foreseen for the rubber straps, is hard.

Further, the goggles begin to leak after time. I used to prolong the goggle life by storing them in the plastic forms in which they were delivered, but for a while Barracud a began delivering goggles in a cylindrical plastic container. Storing the goggles in the hardcase shell I purchased also seems to shorten foam seal life, but on the other hand, there is less of a problem with mold buildup.

Are you having any issues? See my descriptions with the features not so good, above.

Also, I’m getting a bit concerned at the way the price for these goggles keeps going up. I’m beginning to wonder if I should switch to other goggles and go back to ‘raccoon eyes.’

Would you recommend this product to others? With this reservations I have espressed above.

What are you mainly using the product for? Have you found other uses for the product as w ell? I swim every two days to keep in shape. Wearing these goggles makes it bearable on the eyes. I have also done some shallow-water diving with these goggles.

What do you think of A Sight for Sport Eyes as a whole as a company? Were you treated well? Did things arrive in the time you expected?

You’ve been great to me when I’ve had you on the phone. The website is a bit counterintuitive for ordering. Even if you want to continue to do your own fulfillment, the fact that Amazon have so dominated the online ordering market means you’ll get better sales if you make your website look like theirs, even if this is only appearance-deep. Whether their fulfil lment margin is something tolerable is a question that you can only answer for yourself.

I swim laps for about 50-55 minutes and find that these goggles are as gentle as they can possibly be. They don't leave raccoon eyes! They don't fog, either.

For the regular standard goggles, I love them. I have been using the standard or medallion barracuda goggles for ore than 20 years. My new dog ate my most recent pair, so it was time for another. I ordered both the regular goggles and a -2 diopter magnified lens. The magnified lens did not work for me and wouldnot allow me to focus underwater. I have returned them and am awaiting a refund.

What features do you like about the product?
The way they mold around the face. I have had both the white foam and the black; I much prefer the white foam as it seems to mold to y face better

What features are not so good?
With time, (year or more) the strap rots, but repair packages and straps are easy to order.

Are you having any issues?
NO

Would you recommend this product to others?
YES, but not the prescription lens at the moment, without figuring out why it didn't work for me.

Love this product! 5

What features do you like about the product?
Doesn’t leave any marks, doesn’t hurt wearing it.

What features are not so good?
The foam gets sticky at time.
I need to wrap it in cloth after usage and store it on the case so that the foam is free from the strings touching it. If I don’t do it and the strings or something touches the foam, then the foam takes the shape (lines or similar) and water comes in.

Are you having any fogging issues? No bcs prior to using the product I clean it with a drop of shampoo or soap and remove it without washing it. If I didn’t do it, then yes, it would get foggy.

Would you recommend this product to others? Yes. I do.

What are you mainly using the product for? Have you found other uses for the product as well? I use it to swim in the pool, about 3-4 times a week.
