🏊 Essential Gear: MP Michael Phelps K180 Swim Goggles, Crafted in Italy Review

I'm a regular lap swimmer, I swim 3-5 km 3-5 times a week, so I'm under water for about an hour or two each time. These are by far the most comfortable glasses I have ever worn. I'm a small woman and they fit well, but must appear too small if you are tall and tall. Lenses are a bit dark for indoor swimming but great for outdoor sun protection. I will order another pair because I really like the comfort. Hope they last long.

Bought for my 4 year old son. He loves her. We have some Aqua Sphere mask style glasses that he didn't like as much as these. He loves that he can see everywhere and for his face it fits perfectly around the eyes/nose, no water leaks. He also finds the band comfortable, and to be honest they aren't that difficult to fit in, which is important for a busy lad who just wants to jump in and get going. Keep them in a case and they really won't get scratched. They also dry quickly.

I didn't like the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 (leaked, didn't fit well, couldn't change the nasal connector) I like the Speedo Hydro Comfort (very comfortable but a bit bulky) The K180 has a very small profile, fits very well, does not leak and is comfortable to swim for an hour. The mirrored version is slightly darker than the "smoke" dial color, but not as dark as the "mirror smoke" dial version and is suitable for use in indoor pools. the neon green is visible from the inside and bothers the eyes…

Very good glasses. You have to be very careful not to pick or touch the lenses and they will survive many sessions in the pool without fogging up. I've had them for about 11 weeks, swim in them twice a week and they still work well. They only tend to fog up when I pick them up and wear them on my head for a few minutes when I'm resting/taking out of the pool etc. A quick dip in the water does that. They fit me very well, I have a narrow bridge of the nose and a narrow face. They can get…

I bought these for my 13 year old daughter who is a swimmer. Initially she was skeptical about these glasses as you really have to be prepared for comfort as they fit snugly against your orbital bone. Suction is decent, but there's a terrible fogging issue with these goggles. My daughter is now quite gentle with her swim gear and has never had an item fail as quickly as these goggles in less than 6 months of use. The glasses seal has already dissolved and cannot be repaired (see photo above). I

My daughter is a swimmer and has several of these goggles. she loves them She loves the fit and they are easy to adjust. Of course she also loves that Michael Phelps wears them lol. We have not tried any other Aqua Sphere glasses so I have no comparison to other styles. She has no leaks. She recently swam in the sea and they haven't leaked at all, even in choppy water. She said they do fog up a bit but a quick rinse usually fixes that. The straps are strong, none are broken. I love that it…

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…

I have Kayenne, Xceed and K180. I train in open water (salt water) and train in both indoor and outdoor pools. Overall, the MP Xceeds are my favorites, but I've also found the K180s to be very useful, especially in the pool rather than open water. Why? they don't fog up easily. In the summer, the outdoor pool where I train is very hot, so I quickly overheat when I swim. and k180 are the only ones not shod. Also, the strap is a bit easier to use than the Xceed. They are small and sit rather flat
