Aqua Sphere Seal Swim Mask

I have all 3 - the Seal, Vista, & Kayenne. I think the fit of these mask/goggles are very personal, so it's hard to really say if it will work for you or not. The best I can do is comment on the quality, function, and fit FOR ME. I guess I have kind of a narrow face if that helps. By the way, all 3 are excellent quality and I don't believe I will ever buy any other brand goggles/mask again because they are so nice.Seal - Biggest and best vision and super comfortable. Leaks a little for me, but not a showstopper. The leaking could probably be fixed if I tightened it more. The thing I like best is that it doesn't give me raccoon eyes after I swim (looks like I have black eyes if you never experienced it).Vista - Very comfortable, good vision, but not quite as good as the Seal. For me, this one leaked the most out of the 3. It just seems that it fit somewhere between my eye sockets and my face, and for whatever reason it couldn't make a good seal there. Again, the nice thing is no raccoon eyes.Kayenne - Pretty comfortable, though not as much as the Seal or Vista. This one is the only one of the 3 that doesn't leak at all for me. They are more minimalist (smaller) so the vision isn't as good as the Seal or Vista, but still very good compared to other brands. So overall, they are lightest, smallest, and best fit. The ONLY reason this is my least favorite is because it gives me raccoon eyes.So for me, Seal are my overall favorite, though if I wasn't worried about raccoon eyes, I would choose the Kayenne.

I first saw these goggles when watching a Total Immersion swimming DVD. Terry Laughlin wears them. I thought, "Hm, this guy really knows endurance swimming, maybe I'll check these goggles out." My speedo goggles (which are great, but my field of view is so small, it's disorienting) just weren't cutting it. I did two sprint triathlons wearing the Speedo goggles and the swim was okay, but I never felt like I could really see what was going on.The reviews here were mostly positive, and I decided to buy the Aqua Sphere Seal. At 21 bucks I didn't figure I was taking a huge chance.When I finally had the chance to wear them at the pool, the first thing I noticed was how MUCH I can see. My field of view is very wide. I can't help but think that when I do my first triathlon next year that I'll be glad I bought them. But what's more important is that for some odd reason, being able to see so much just makes swimming more enjoyable (for me, your mileage may vary, void where prohibited, see dealer for details).I'm an average guy with an average sized head, and I've never had a problem with the goggles' seal on my face while I swim. I wear them under my swim cap and swim lap after lap with no leaks. I can see if you have a small face that they might not seal, so theses goggles might not be ideal for children.I LOVE these goggles.

This mask fits on the bones around the eyes and not on the soft tissue, so it is very comfortable. It affords a great field of view. I keep mine in a plastic container with holes drilled so it can dry. This keeps the plastic lens in pristine condition without scratching. I wear contact lens, so I need something that definitely keeps the water out, and this does the trick. To find the right tightness for the strap, start with it just where it hold again the face, but leaks if you put your face in the water. Then tighten a notch or 2 at a time until it no longer leaks. This way you won't over-tighten and cause too much pressure on your face. I have been using this mask for years. They last for a long time. I usually get a year or more out of mask. The silicone seal for the face doesn't fail. What eventually fails is the seal holding the lens in place. It can be popped in and re-seated, but once this happens, it will still leak.

An absolute 10stars!I live in Kauai, Hawaii. The main turn off for my swimming in the ocean has always been the water leaking inside my goggles. It is more inconvenient than in a swimming pool where the visibility is much clearer underwater, and landmarks are easy to see, like the black line at the bottom of the lane or the surrounding edges of the pool. In ocean swim, underwater landmarks disapear quickly in the depths, and I rely for orientation on landmarks on the beach or rocks at great distances. Clear vision is indispensable for the brain to reconstruct a sense of depth and an approximation of the distance between the subject and the marker. This mask is completely waterproof, light and fits me like a second skin. Angular visibility is beyond my needs. A delight to wear. I care for it like a baby!, thorough rinse-off, no other contact inside the lense than that of running water, a quick shake-dry, towel dry on the outside, not on the lense!, air dry and back inside the transparent case it comes with.I cannot conceive of a better fit, and at that price too!Get it, get it, get it!

Five years ago, I began swimming religiously getting in my mile a day. At that time Michael Phelps was wearing Speedo Vanquisher goggles and so I bought a pair. Not fabulous. A year later, Tim Ferris of 4 Hour Body fame suggested Aqua Sphere Kaiman goggles in yellow tinted lenses. MUCH BETTER, but they leaked a little and fogged up after lap 14 EVERY DAY. I thought it might be that I was not buying the ladies shaped mask, so I ordered the Lady Seal swim mask. Quite obviously, my face is less feminine than the average female of 5'6" 150 lbs. and my face had marks on the sides of my temples regardless of how tight or loose the bands. Today was an hallelujah moment. THIS MASK IS PERFECT! I wish I knew about it five years ago and bought four of them instead of my trial and error path. If you are hesitating - DON'T! This is the mask you have been looking for if you want peripheral vision, no fogging, no leaking, and you are not sporting deep lines on your face afterwards. Amen to finally finding the right mask!

Swim masks with built in nose guards always squish my nose. I bought this mask for my Hawaii trip, hoping to abate that problem, because I find goggles too claustrophobic. These goggles were simply spectacular. They were comfortable, didn't leak, and the view in the water was clear, vibrant, and stunning. Highly, highly recommend!

They worked great until the seal between the lens failed and water seeped in during only my third time using them.I hope they can get me a replacement lens?

This mould is very different to the previous incarnation. Don't make the assumption that they will fit you because the previous model did. Build quality fine, but they just don't fit me anymore.
