Speedo Vanquisher Mirrored Swim Goggle Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "These goggles were very nice and truly liked them."
• "Got these on the recommendation of a swim instructor I know and have been using them for a while now. I have to say they are far better than I'd expected. Extremely comfortable and rather good at maintaining a tight seal."
• "These are comfortable, I can see just fine, and I have no issue with leaking."
• "Nice soft fit with good seal around the eyes."
• "The googles never leak and fit in my eyes perfectly."
• "These are the first goggles I have given my kids that have not broken and that they have not complained about water getting into the goggles."
• "They are comfortable, the suction is great but does not leave marks around my eyes like other googles, and I no longer feel like I have blinders on (peripheral view is amazing)."

Cons:

• "The seal is not great, they do allow water in."
• "It doesn't fit my face well and my eyes feel like they are about to pop out."
• "I have used the googles a few times, they never felt comfortable and the last time they gave me a head and nose ache."
• "The nose piece doesn't seem to snap in well, its like its barely held in there."
• "They do not stay on her face no matter what we do."
• "The product arrived earlier than expected and my son was so excited to try it on but the nose piece attached was way to large for him."
• "I’ve had these goggles for just over 2 months, they started fogging after a couple of weeks."

Design and Quality

Pros:

• "These are so much better than goggles of the 80s thru early 2000s."
• "I love these goggles, very funky and have a great style to them!!!"
• "These goggles are good and tend to last awhile."
• "These goggles are better than my Nike goggles and they give you better range of vision."
• "Love these goggles. I’ve gotten many compliments on how bright and colorful they are."
• "They are also reflective and a shaded for outdoor swimming."
• "The mirrored lens. I love this in a google for the same reason I like it in my sunglasses."

Cons:

• "The goggles seem to break more easily than many others."
• "Second time (first day) my daughter put them on the plastic on the nose piece cracked."
• "Got about 10 swims out of them and then the plastic broke."
• "Broke in the nose piece area, just like a lot of other dissatisfied customers."
• "The center piece above the nose snapped off in the middle of diving in for a race and broke."
• "The spot on the google where the nose piece attaches broke during practice after less than 2 months use in December."
• "These are JUNK. I have three kids on swim team this year and in less than a month two of the three sets have broken in the exact same spot."

Visibility and Tint

Pros:

• "The mirror/tent is useful when swimming outside but may be a bit dark for indoor swimming."
• "We always go with Speedo vanquishers for durability, comfort, and fit. The tint is perfect for outdoor swimming."
• "These Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 mirrored goggles are the only ones my swimmer will wear for both practice and racing."
• "The very dark tint of the lens means that even in the middle of the day, I can do backstroke looking right at the sun and barely care at all."
• "The reflective eye pieces really help cut out the sun glare, especially during back stroke."
• "This is my first pair of goggles that are mirrored. They are much better outside than my previous goggles that were blue tinted."
• "Espeacially useful for people with ponytails under their swim caps since the one strap design usually requires the strap to go directly up and over right wear a ponytail would set resulting in a less than secure fit."

Cons:

• "Looking out of these goggles is like looking through 4-5 sunglasses stacked on top of each other."
• "Wearing these fabulous goggles at night for a night swim will be like driving in the dark with your sunglasses on."
• "Unfortunately like many others have mentioned here, they fog very quickly and quite thoroughly, thus canceling out the supposedly great feature of wide peripheral vision."
• "The nose changing system is horrible... It took me at least 20 minutes and got very frustrating. The worst part is the anti-fog... You can't swim for more than 5 minutes without the goggle to fog-up..."
• "these goggles are advertised as Anti-fog, but the fogged up the very first day I used them."
• "Terrible product. After about 1 minute I can't even see out of them because of the fog and cloudiness."
• "The fit is ok, not great, but the get foggy after about 5 minutes no matter what I do."

Accessories and Adjustability

Pros:

• "They come with different sized nose pieces to be switched out if the original pair are too small or too large."
• "These were exactly what I needed for swimming laps in the pool! They were very comfortable over extended periods of time and did not fog up often."
• "The winning nosepiece was the one that allowed the goggles to stay suctioned to my face the longest, without the straps around my head."
• "Spliting the strap allows for a better and more adaptable head-cling."
• "They adjust easily and he can put them on himself."
• "The bands don't rot in the chlorine. They seal out the water without being cinched up tight."
• "One thing I wish I could do is change the rubber strap to a bungee like I typically prefer to do with my swim goggles."

Cons:

• "I've got 3 nose pieces that are too small and painful to wear, and a 4th that looks sized well but is defective."
• "The holes on the sides are too small for me to fit my bungees thru."
• "Had to return the goggles because once the default small nose piece was removed, I couldn't get any nose pieces to click back in."
• "They give you three or four extra nose pieces… I can see why. They break and are next to impossible to get a new one on."
• "Adjusting the straps were very challenging as they came with multiple straps."
• "The only downside is the straps would need to be 1/4 to a half inch longer."
• "if you have a 'big' head, you may get close to end of adjustment on head strap."

Value and Brand Perception

Pros:

• "Good quality, good looking, what else do you expect for 20 dollars?"
• "Bought to a friend, who is amazed with this (according to him fog it's an old story thanks to this, because know he could enjoy swimming without to be worried about sightsee on the water, besides this is one-size but fix just perfect to him thanks to the lens)."
• "Worth the premium over some other brands. Speedo Vanquisher will always be my first choice."
• "These are my go-to goggles for swimming."
• "These are by far my favorite practice goggles because of the comfort, wide field of vision, and durability."
• "These are great goggles. They have been reliable for my son to wear as a competitive swimmer as well as swimming for fun."
