5.0 out of 5 stars
After a lifetime of swimming--these are the best I've found, December 20, 2010
This review is from: Aqua Sphere Kayenne Goggle (Sports)
I've been a daily swimmer for more than 30 years. I've used Speedo Ultra's, Swedish googles, Barracuda salt water goggles, Speedo Vanquishers, and Aquasphere Vistas. I've used each of these goggles for a significant amount of time.
While all of these goggles have something to commend them, none of them does everything the Kayenne's can do. The Ultras will stay on *no matter what*, but they're uncomfortable. The Swedish goggles are weirdly comfortable, but are prone to failure during racing starts or dives (and don't tell me it's because they weren't on correctly--these things failed Michael Phelps at the Goodwill games). Barracuda's are strictly for lap swimming; they are very comfortable, but I lost mine while swimming in surf (and don't even think about a racing start or aggressive flip turn). The Vanquishers look cool, but aren't very good (I used these for only a short time). The Vista's I really like, and still wear on occasion, but aren't good for aggressive turns or racing starts; they are however, a great lap swimming google.
The Kayenne does it all. It is as comfortable as the Vistas and as race worthy as my old Ultras. There are three different sized versions of the Kayenne: Regular, ladies, and youth. I recommend trying the regular's first, unless you know you have a small face.
The fit and finish of these goggles is a cut above anything I've tried. Only the Barracudas (the high end ones) have a comparable level of finish and they ARE very comfortable, but they are extremely prone to slipping. My Kayennes never slip, they never leak, and (when combined with Spit Brand anti-fog spray) they never fog.
I've stopped looking. I hope they never stop making this goggle.

These goggles have made me love swimming again, February 27, 2010
This review is from: Aqua Sphere Kayenne Goggle (Sports)
Best goggles I've ever had--I was miserable with my multiple other goggles. These are easy to adjust, provide a wide field of vision, don't fog up and don't leak. I swam a mile yesterday and didn't have to adjust them once. Furthermore, I didn't need to make them very tight to do this--just a comfortable fit and no headaches as I was getting with my previous pair.

WOW! These are nice., December 30, 2010
This review is from: Aqua Sphere Kayenne Goggle (Sports)
Christmas 2010 i decided to buy myself a gift for upcoming triathlon training. I was tired of buying $10 goggles and having them leak, fog up or frustate me, so i decided to invest in something more expensive
Read some reviews here at amazon and decided to try these out. WOW -- what a difference. The air seal in these goggles is amazing, not a single drop of water has come through (ever), and the vision with the lenses is incredibly clear and wide.
Im sold, love them!!
