TYRSpecial Ops 3.0 Polarized, Green/Black, One Size

I'm a middle aged male with pronounced eye ridges and a large nose. I've always suffered from goggles either leaking or hurting or both. Prior to the Special Ops, I used Vanquishers, and the last 500-750m of my 2000m freestyle swims with them would either be very leaky or agonizingly painful.The Special Ops are remarkably comfortable. Out of the box, they felt so good that I kept on expecting them to leak, but they would stay sufficiently dry. On my first 2000m swim with them (without stopping or adjusting goggles), at the 1500m point, there was a slight amount of pain, but nothing problematic.Finally, it was *pleasant* to swim, and I was able to increase my regular swim distance to 3000m -- I discovered that it was the pain/leakiness of goggles that was holding me back. After several swims with the Special Ops either the goggles adjusted to my face or my face adjusted to the goggles, and I could swim 3000m without *any* pain.I occasionally get a few drops of water in regular lap swimming, but it's not a problem. Admittedly, I usually do pretty slow turns when swimming laps, and I have noticed a bit of a leak (but not enough to force me to stop swimming) when trying to do a faster turn, but maybe my technique was poor.Moreover, with the straps adjusted for comfort in swimming laps, the goggles will usually pull off while diving in. Not an issue for me, as I can't dive in my regular pool, but it might be an issue for someone else.Updates:1. Tightening quite a bit made the goggles work fine for diving. I just made sure to note what the tension for laps was, and adjusted it back to that.2. With me having learned better (or maybe just more forceful!) turn technique on freestyle laps, I tightened the goggles a little, but now it did hurt a bit starting around 2000m, and there is a bit of a leak. Nothing as bad as my Vanquishers, and I am hoping I'll get some calluses and it'll feel better.

Goggles purchased; clear/BlackThe Good: Glasses overall look good, the strap tensioning system seems secure and easy to use, strap material seems solid and flexible, seal is good for wider faces (not good for younger teenagers/narrower faces), peripheral vision is surprisingly unobstructed due to the wrap around profile at the edge of the lenses.The Bad:The flat part of the lens in the middle is terribly uneven. The lateral sides of the lens swoop backwards to give more peripheral vision and some degree of distortion there is to be expected. However, keeping your eyes looking straight a straight ahead it is hard to ignore the "carnival mirror" effect as you move your head around.I bought these TYR googles to replace a destroyed pair of (now discontinued) Speedo MDRs. Those MDR goggles were built like a tank, but they managed to get the center of the lenses perfectly flat!Second big issue-, There is some waffle on the TYR Special Ops 3.0 box about the "high definition photochromatic lenses" that are meant to "transition lens color in response to changing light conditions". I left them out in full sun, shining right onto the lenses, for an hour- no detectable change. I'm calling that one a lie. The box even has a separate sticker with the word 'TRANSITION' on it. The background shading of this sticker fades from black to clear. Come on Tyr! I think TYR is attempting to appeal to the open water crowd, but that population is going to expect more action, if promised! The strap release buttons on the delivered goggles are stark white. In the Amazon pictures of the other (mirror lens) model, the red strap release buttons look interesting against the slightly green hue of the black framed goggles (the frame of the black/clear pair delivered to me did indeed have this green tinge, that I liked!). The white strap adjustment buttons on my delivered goggles look like a glaring production mistake. This rather spoils the "cryptic sea creature" vibe that I am 100% sure the talented designer was going for!Last whine, I promise- The special Ops eye cup silicone seems to provide a good, comfortable seal, but they are made of quite thin silicone material. I am not sure how long they would hold up to heavy use. The Speedo MDR goggle seals were substantially thicker, yet still comfortable.I am returning these TYR goggles and eagerly awaiting the arrival of a differently branded pair that I hope will be a better replacement for my dead goggles.

I've been spending a lot of time at the local outdoor pool. I'm too cheap to be buying prescription sunglasses, so I usually wear cheapos over my contact lenses. Getting water, especially chlorinated water, in your eyes is none too pleasant. So I set out looking for a pair of swim goggles that would serve as both goggles to protect my contacts from the water, and sunglasses to protect from the bring sun. I found both in the TYR 3.0 Polarized.I spent roughly 6 hours over 2 days this past weekend wearing them and they're pretty comfortable. They're alright at resisting fogging, but not perfect. I suspect, given the physics of how fog forms, nothing is perfect in that regard. They'll stay on, and tight, pretty well with just swimming. However, they're not good at all staying on if I'm jumping into the water from a diving board or splashing down from a slide. Had them on as tight as I could stand them, and they'd still come off. But they are a pretty high profile goggle, and that is quite a bit of shearing force.All around, a great goggle, and I really like them.

I ordered TYR 2.0 goggles knowing they are great, when we received the first pair there was an imperfection in the lens laminate on the inside of the goggle. It impairs forward vision. Returned them for a replacement from Amazon, second pair arrived, same exact problem. So went to the 3.0 thinking they would be better, same EXACT issue. I thought maybe there was a protective layer to remove, nope just poorly manufactured. Go buy them at your local sporting goods store and make sure to inspect the lenses.

Recommended to me by another swimmer as I wear contact lenses, I wanted a good seal on the goggles to avoid any water issues with my contacts.The seal on these googles is very good, no leakage. The only disappointed element is the coating on the lenses pealed off very soon after use - this is the mirrored/ polarised coating on the outside. This made using them a little difficult due to patchy visibility

Buon occhialino con un ampia veduta ed abbastanza morbido sugli occhi. Non da fastidio anche se si nuota per parecchio tempo. La funzione antifog fa abbastanza schifo, consiglio di usare un prodotto apposito. Per adesso la parte specchiata è integra dopo 8 uscite, speriamo bene....

Mi sono sempre trovato bene con gli occhiali TYR , li uso in piscina e ormai solo questi . Si adattano bene e , ben regolati , non fanno passare acqua . Buon nuoto a tutti!

Após 2 utilizações, o espelhado começou a cair deixando os óculos com mau aspeto e sem bloquearem eficientemente o reflexo (polarização). não tenciono comprar de novo desta marca

La polarización de las lentes se desprendió después del primer baño en aguas abiertas, el ajuste es muy diferente al de la versión 2.0 (que me parece excelente), estos 3.0 son demasiado voluminosos, una ergonomía extraña, más pesada y una sensación de menor calidad en general.
