Review on 🏊 Essential Gear: MP Michael Phelps K180 Swim Goggles, Crafted in Italy by Maurice Branch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

UV-resistant, easily fogged up, feels good in the hand Finis Duo

My first swimming goggles. They are alright. Fogging occurs after about 20 minutes. I can still see quite well. The tint is to protect (the eyes) from UV rays and the elastic straps are good for holding my Finis Duo music player. UPDATE: Downgraded from three to one star. After a year and a half, the rubber gasket (some kind) had a crack that propagated its entire length and robbed it of its ability to seal water ingress into the lens. I believe it has to do with the chemical treatment of the pool water. These goggles were rinsed with fresh tap water after each use and then dried. Another possible reason for this rejection is that the glasses were not used in the six months prior to the rejection. I had another case where something that had sat in a dark cupboard for several years didn't have the same problem with roofing felt - no UV light exposure? The glasses are expensive given the other alternatives so I think I can expect a longer lifespan. I noticed that the current price is slightly lower than the $18.41 I paid. I will contact the seller and find out about the warranty.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't like it that much, everything is fine
