The do not have that hard rim around the mask. The entire mask is soft and just suctions to the face for a secure fit. Had to replace them when our dog found them to be a nice chew toy!

The strap is long and stretchy and my kids love it. Well designed mask which seals the face with soft silicon gaskets. The strap is long and stretchy and my kids love it.

We had a pair for about 4 years and lost them recently, so we were thrilled to be able to replace them. They're comfy and cover her nose. The service was excellent from the company.

We have 2 pairs that are in their second season of wear. The blue strap still looks new. We have one pair with a clear strap that has yellowed from the chlorine. These goggles are easy to adjust and stay in place even when the kids jump into the pool. No need to hold them in place! We had to replace one pair because it disappeared at the pool.

Baier Sun, 06 Jun 2010 09:52:28 +0000 http://www.swimdsa.com/swimming-accessories/watr-gear-prescription-goggle.htm#comment-818 I have tried the Speedo and Water Gear prescription goggles (but not the Barracuda goggles), and find both to be good solutions (at least for a myopic swimmer), but the Water Gear optical layer is a lot more durable, lasts a year or so with reasonable care. As swimmers know, fit of the seals is critical and depends upon your particlular facial structure. With the Water Gear Goggles, at least the nosepiece and double banded headstrap are highly adjustable and if the seals fit well, the other adjustments can be adjusted to exact fit. As with the other optical goggles, the prrescriptions do not transfer from the optomitrist to the underwater or overwater environment exactly, but are a reasonable compromise and they are available only in 2 diopter increments anyway. Best advice: try a friend's on in the pool to be sure they fit and seal well, & then order the closest optical prrescription to your glasses. If you have two widely disparate prescriptions, as I have, you'll have to order two pair in different prescriptions and then mix and re-assemble in the right combination. I think they are the best value in prescription goggles. Good swimming.

The bag has enough room for all my gear and then some. The bag is decent even if it was full price. I paid $9.99 for the bag so I really couldn’t go wrong.

I am about 5'5" and the fit is a too large for me. The sternum strap is way too low, even at the highest setting. It is sturdy and has held up really well. The ventilated pockets and water bottle pocket are nice, but the other pockets are a bit odd size/shape. It holds my laptop and a lot of gear, so I don’t need a separate gymn bag.
