First class goggles

I am a long time swimmer and always looking for the perfect goggle, especially when the ones I wore for years are no longer available. Although I tend to shy away from the "interchangeable nose piece" style, I am a big fan of the type of seal this goggle offers. First, the nose piece; it was fairly easy to change and secures with just a bit of pressure to make the distance between the lenses a perfect fit. Second the rubber seal; not too stiff, not too soft, and combined with the shape…

Pros
  • All good. Would be even better if the straps were another inch longer!
Cons
  • May not fit all head sizes and shapes

As someone who knows that price matters, but not at the expense of quality, these goggles were amazing! I was drawn in at first by the low price and the clear lenses, so I thought I would give them a try. I was very pleased with this purchase. These goggles would easily sell for three times as much at a sporting goods store. This is a classic revain example of a great company selling great quality at a great price. As a small business owner I understand that you can offer a product at a fair…

Pros
  • Sports
Cons
  • Elastic straps may stretch out over time

Good value for the price.

Apparently all swim goggles fog up in a relatively short time. That being the case, why spend a lot of money on them? These are relatively inexpensive, and come with three nose pieces, so they can be adjusted to different-sized faces.One gripe: It's not easy to change the nose pieces. Even the model in their "how-to" video seems to struggle with it a bit. But the good news is that once you get the nosepiece attached that makes the goggles fit your face you won't ever have to change it…

Pros
  • The goggles are affordable, providing a high-quality option for those on a budget.
Cons
  • May cause headaches with extended use

Maybe I Should Swim to Sweden

It's been a while since I've swam competitively, but I recently started swimming again for exercise. I looked for the highest rated goggles that resembled the ones I used to compete with and picked up two pairs of Friendly Swede Swim Goggles. So far, I've swam in them a few times and they've been just as good as, if not better than the ones I used to compete with. I haven't had too much time with them just yet, so I'll update my review down the road, but I doubt I'll have any issues with these.

Pros
  • The goggles come with a carrying case, preventing them from getting lost or damaged.
Cons
  • May not fit over diving masks or other equipment

Great Product - my new review

I swim laps on a daily basis and have owned and loved Friendly Swede goggle for a long time. During recent trip my pair was lost and the only goggles avaiable at local sports store were a Famous Name Brand. The FNB goggles one size fits all fit was poor and I never coudl get them to seal properly. The pinched my nose and overall did nothing but remind me of why I love my Friendly Swedes. I ordered a new set of Friendly Swedes and had them waiting for me when I returned home. How wonderful it…

Pros
  • The goggles come in a pack of two, providing a cost-effective option for buyers.
Cons
  • May not be compatible with prescription lenses

Top notch product, top notch customer service

My original review read:An extremely comfortable pair of goggles and I got 2 in my order! Would definitely recommend.Here's an update:One of the pairs of goggles that I had received must've been defective because the nose piece broke very suddenly. I had only used this pair of goggles a handful of times and was quite surprised by this breakage. After dealing with this company's customer service center I absolutely stand by my original review. They got back to me almost immediately, they were…

Pros
  • Water Sports
Cons
  • May not provide enough peripheral vision

High praise from a practical Norwegian for The Friendly Swede

I'm now a big fan of the Friendly/Trendy Swede. This bargain pair of 2 swim goggles is literally what the doctor ordered. Having come down with a textbook example of Bell's Palsy with a left eye that will neither blink nor close until facial nerves regenerate and heal, these swim goggles are perfect for keeping soap and water out of one's eye when showering and washing hair. Much better than taping the eye shut. These are nice, simple goggles with a good seal around the eye. The strap adjusts…

Pros
  • Polyvinyl Chloride lens
Cons
  • May leak water into the goggles

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great googles, price, company. Anti-fog treatment? Meh.

Four stars for the product and the fifth for the customer service. Each pair of these goggles fit well, with no leaks unless I didn't have the straps quite right because of my hair. (Swim cap fixed that right up.) The black pair did seem to just fit better; I can't really articulate it. I did have to change to smaller nose pieces and had very little difficulty doing so with either pair.I was expecting the life of the anti-fog claim to be a bit longer-lived than it was. The black pair lasted…

Pros
  • ✅ ADD-ON: With these goggles you get a protective goggle case so storing your goggles will be easy and extend their lifetime. Since the goggles come in a 2-pack you can choose to keep both or give one as a gift to someone you like.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all types of water activities

Very pleased with this purchase! Definately will buy again!

I bought this set of goggles recently for $16.99 for my son for when he has school offered swim lessons. We have our own pool but he's not a natural born swimmer. To progress in his lessons, he had to jump in the deep end of the pool, which he was scared to do. He told me everyone had goggles & he needed them as well. Its fall & no one had goggles so I ordered these with my 2 day prime membership & it here on time (the day before he needed them). He loves the goggles! He has used goggles from…

Pros
  • Swimming
Cons
  • May not be as durable as other brands

Alternatives best in my review

I have been using these glasses for last 2 years and they fit my eyes perfectly. I have done 1KM+ (1000+ yards) swim in open water lake so many times and i have no problem. Recently my wife took 1 of my goggles and now i am left with only 1. Super nervous i want to order 2 more of these goggles.Can someone help me to find an alternative .

Pros
  • The adjustable straps allow for a comfortable fit for all head sizes.
Cons
  • May interfere with the use of other swimming gear

Nice goggles, but heavily overpackaged

These are nice goggles—not amazing or wonderful—but good, serviceable goggles. However, I was aghast at the amount of packaging they came in. I can't imagine it's really necessary for them to come in a hard case, with a plastic shape-holder-positioner, inside a plastic bag, inside a cardboard box. Why? I mean I get that the plastic case is a nice thing, maybe, but it just seems like something that will eventually end up in a landfill.

Pros
  • ✅ ANTI FOG PROTECTION: The lens has anti-fog treatment, is scratch resistant and PVC and latex free. The lens is not mirrored, the black goggles are slightly tinted. If the anti-fog treatment starts wearing off, add more or use one of the remedies recommended below
Cons
  • May not come with a carrying case

These are the best. I swim inside everyday

Stop researching goggles, you found the right ones. BUY THESE GOGGLES! I swim, a lot. I've used every kind of goggles. These are the best. I swim inside everyday, daytime and evening. These goggles changed my workouts - for the better. No fog, clear vision, good suction. I swim wearing contacts and my biggest complaint is the chlorine water getting inside the goggles. The Friendly Swede has solved this problem. In fact, my vision is so clear under the water, I find my workouts go way faster…

Pros
  • The anti-fog feature ensures that there is no need for constant cleaning of the lens during use.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with long hair

great goggles for price but not for competitive swimming

I didn't get these for free or for a discount. I just ordered on a whim for my children who are competitive swimmers. For the price, you can't beat it-they give you TWO! As for quality, it looks fine-like your average goggles you'll buy for double the price. I'm not sure about quality as my children haven't worn them yet but it looks to be a much better quality than the speedo's I got from Modell's for $24.99 for just ONE. I would definitely order again- simply bc of the price and quality looks

Pros
  • The goggles' design allows for easy adjustment while wearing them.
Cons
  • May not be available in all countries or regions

Hey, they work. in my review

There are two people in my house so I was fine to get two goggles. They fit well and make a huge difference for me while swimming. I have a small head, and the other person has a big head. I will say that they seem to fit me better. For him, the lenses cant inwards slightly. However, he also has chosen not to adjust them at all. I don't do sunglasses so the tinted ones go to him - it's a very subtle tinting and works fine.I like that the seals are squishy and durable. The last goggles I had…

Pros
  • The goggles' sleek and modern design adds to its overall appeal
Cons
  • May be more expensive than other similar products

The friendliest customer service

I ordered these for my ten year old son, who seems to not like the goggles sold by the dominant brand on the market. Luckily, he liked these and was happy to wear them. He claims they fit him well. Unfortunately, the nose piece broke during his first practice. I didn't see how it happened, so can't say whether it was a defective product or my son figuring out a way to break it. I was able to swap another nose piece in its place and he continued to use the goggles. As luck would have it, the…

Pros
  • The goggles are easy to clean and maintain, making them a hassle-free option.
Cons
  • May not have a wide enough nose bridge

Great goggles! Compare with many other expensive goggles I .

Great goggles! Compare with many other expensive goggles I bought for swimming, these goggles are a steal in terms of their quality and price. After getting some ages, I gave up running due to knee pain. Swimming is the only way for me to exercise. Recently I bought the Finis MP3 2nd generation and tried to put on my expensive goggles, unfortunately the goggle broke. When I was looking for goggles to fit my swimming mp3 player, I thought why not try these pair. It turns out a best deal ever. I…

Pros
  • The goggles come with an extra nose clip, allowing for even more customization.
Cons
  • May create pressure points around the eyes

I got these goggles about 2 weeks ago. I wore old school Swedes in high school and was looking for a similar fit for my lap swimming now. These are a fantastic upgrade from the hard plastic and string I wore years ago. The cushion around the eyes fits perfectly against the socket and keeps out the water a lot better than many goggles I've tried. I adjusted the nose piece to the smallest size in the package and it is a much better fit. I love that there are 3 different nose piece options…

Pros
  • Goggles
Cons
  • May not provide enough UV protection

Great price and two for one, what a deal!

I could not believe the price when I ordered these, figured they would be junk, but when they arrived I was pleasantly surprised. Over the past twenty years, I have used Speedo goggles, that is until my experience with my last pair of them which I also purchased on revain. Those goggles were only a few years old, always kept inside the house and used only for my morning swim (a few months each year). After three seasons the material around the lenses of the Speedo goggles began to…

Pros
  • The UV protection prevents harmful UV rays from damaging eyes during outdoor swimming.
Cons
  • May cause discomfort when worn with a snorkel

Best Swim Goggles I've Ever Used!

Swim goggles are all the same, right? That's what I thought when I tried these goggles as I used to use swim goggles many years ago as a team swimmer. Two things I noticed immediately with these goggles were that they came with 3 optional nose pieces to customize for the distance between your eyes. In addition, rather than the single broad band which I'm used to which goes around the head, there are two narrow bands at top and bottom which can be adjusted to the shape of your head and which…

Pros
  • The goggles have no sharp edges, preventing any discomfort or injury during use.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with allergies to certain materials

Awedome goggles, awesome price

I swim about a mile every other day at both indoor/outdoor pools. I like being able to switch back and forth depending on the light of the venue. I have not had trouble with leaking, but they do fog up after the first use. After I finish

Pros
  • The lightweight design makes it feel like you're not wearing goggles at all.
Cons
  • May be too tight or too loose for some users
