Aqua Sphere Seal XP Swim Mask

I was looking for something to exercise in at the local pool. These are a great pair of goggles that give you a good amount of sight under the water. I don't think I would use them for competition as they are a little bulky but they are great for regular swimming. Very little leakage if any and haven't had to much problem with them fogging up. Really like them.

Grandma and Grandpa bought a pair of these for our little one. They fit him well and there were no complaints....then they got left out back and the dog ate them. It was late in the season so I bought local pool supply kids googles for $6, those hurt his ears. I went back to pool store and got the $11.99 goggles, they left horrible marks under his eyes and leaked. I then went to Big 5 and bought a namebrand kids goggles at $12..NOPE, those hurt too. I spent over $30 dollars for crap goggles, I should have just went with the Aqua Sphere from the start. When you have them, you don't notice much, when you do NOT have these goggles and try other pairs...you then really do take notice and wish you had the Aqua Sphere. Had to buy them for the ENTIRE Family this season. They are spendy, but worth it.

I bought these because I felt that the more traditional goggles were making the bags and circles that were appearing due to natural aging look much more pronounced. My eyes definitely look and feel better since using these for workouts. Sometimes water will leak in but it doesn't get in my eyes. And if you press the goggles firmly to your face they won't leak. I wouldn't wear them to race but for workouts they are perfect.

I purchased 2 pair of goggles (different models) from Aqua Sphere. Initially, I was satisfied with the product until the seals on both set started failing around the same time. This wasn't a big deal until last week when the rubber head strap ripped when I was simply putting the goggles on. Again, no big deal. I had a second pair as backup. That is until today. The rubber head strap ripped today. However, the rip occurred at the exact same location as it had on the first pair. The remarkable similarity prompted me to closely examine both sets of goggles. I found that the areas, where both sets ripped, were thinner than any other part of the head straps. This was obviously poor molding and a manufacturer defect. Aqua Sphere will not exchange or accept a return of these defective items and I will no longer do business with this company. I discourage anyone from buying goggles from Aqua Sphere.

This review will help the women who are trying to figure out which Aqua Sphere Goggle to get. I am going to compare this to the regular Aqua Sphere Seal which I have been wearing for more than 20 years and overall have been happy. When I started wearing them, it was the only product on the market like this. What I don't like with the regular Aqua Sphere Seal is that it went very high on my forehead and pretty wide on my face which would result in some occasional leaks. I have a small face, so I decided to try this mask to see if it might fit my face better since it is made for a woman. The angle of the silicone skirt dug into my skin and was not comfortable at all. They are going right back to Amazon. If there weren't any other options, I would have gone back to the regular Aqua Sphere Seal. (I think that I ruled the Kayenne out on the basis of reviews here.) However, I also got the Ladies Vista. This goggle is a pleasure!! I am going to write a review for that, and it is going to get 5 stars. The Ladies Vista fits my face much better. It is smaller, so there is less view, but what you lose is at the far range of eye movements, and it is painful to look that far at an angle anyway. (The Aqua Sphere Seal XP Ladies has a similar field of view for those people that it fits.) The Ladies Vista provides an EXCELLENT field of vision. I swim for 40-60 minutes and it remains comfortable. I also have been in a lake where I was swimming and doing work on my dock where my head was in and out of the water. The Ladies Vista remained comfortable and vision was clear even after an extended period (at least 90 min). NO LEAKS and this is important to me because I wear contact lens.

Its ok for its Value, but I was expecting a better suction to my face. I still occasionally get water in my goggles and its bad because I wear Contact Lens. Otherwise they are comfortable and they still Fog up. I would still Suggest another style.

I *hate* tight swim goggle that cut across the bridge of my (not-very-dainty) nose and leave raccoon rings around my eyes. Hate them, hate them, hate them. The Aqua Sphere Seal XP is the perfect alternative. The soft wide silicon skirt is comfortable and doesn't leave rings, it fits those of us with proud honkers well, and the field of vision is excellent. It's comfortable to wear in the water for hours. The only downside, shared by most goggles I've tried, is that the resistance to fogging up doesn't last long. Within a month or so of regular use the goggles are fogging badly, and I have get to find any aftermarket anti-fog treatment that works very well.

I have owned several pairs of Aqua Sphere goggles over the years. They are remarkably comfortable while having a great seal. (I can't tolerate traditional googles; they are really uncomfortable for me). I use these tinted ones for outdoor swimming and the clear ones for indoor pools or night swimming. I rinse them off with clean water after every swim and allow them to dry and they last at least a year.
