OMID Swim Goggles, OMID Comfortable Polarized Swimming Goggles, Anti-Fog Leak Proof UV Protection Crystal Clear Vision Triathlon Swim Goggles with Protective Bag for Men Women Adult Youth Teens

On July 1, 2022 I purchased a pair of “OMID Comfortable Polarized Anti-Fog Swimming Goggles” (smoke, all black frame),,, along with a 2 oz. bottle of "Stream-2-Sea Reef Friendly Mask & Googles Defogger”. I swim open water (quarry lake) 3-5 x’s per week during warmer months, swimming non-stop for 60 to 120 minutes per session. I’d been using “Vanquisher 2.0” goggles for the past several years but, despite correct adjustment, they would always begin digging into my eye sockets after an hour or so, and leave me with a bad case of ‘raccoon eyes’. I decided to try out the OMID goggles, seeking greater comfort. The OMID goggles feature softer, larger eye cushions that are dramatically more comfortable. They truly do provide greatly-improved panoramic vision. The inner surface of the contoured plastic lenses already have their own anti-fog coating, but “factory coatings” can be fragile and eventually lose their effectiveness. I bought the 2 oz. Stream-2-Sea as 'insurance' to help assure that the OMID goggles could remain fog-free as long as possible. Out of the box, I first gently washed the new OMID goggles with a minimal amount of Johnson’s Baby Shampoo (BS), --not their newer “Head to Toe” formulation. They are similar, but not the same. SEE MY PHOTO’s showing the slight differences in their published ingredients. A Word of Caution: When washing plastic-lens swim goggles, you always need to be as GENTLE as possible. A little particle of sand being rubbed across the lenses can scratch them. OK,,, I rinsed my new goggles in room-temperature tap water, then applied the smallest amount of Johnson's BS, being careful to use the slightest finger pressure possible, then rinsed them in the tap water. My tap water leaves ‘spots’ when it dries, so I do a final rinse with some distilled water for a spot-free finish. Once dry, I applied one drop of the Stream-2-Sea anti-fog gel to each inner lens and used my wet finger to GENTLY spread a thin, uniform coating. I then added a tiny amount of distilled water to each lens “cup” and swirled it a few seconds before pouring off the water. I allowed them to air-dry to a clear, streak-free coating, and then put them into my ‘swim bag’, ready for use. I swam 90 minutes in the 83F lake water that next morning. The OMID goggles never leaked, and they never fogged up. The polarized, fog-free view was so much better than with the Vanquisher goggles. I finished my swim and I immediately put the goggles into the OMID carry bag that came with them, being careful to not touch the lenses (there’s no clean rinse water available at the lake). Once home, I washed my hands to remove any possible sand particles (which can scratch the plastic lenses) before rinsing the goggles thoroughly under tap water. Then I dabbed a tiny amount of BS onto each wet lens and used a modified* Q-tip to gently clean their fragile inner surfaces. (* I get a Q-tip and pull the cotton to stretch it longer, then use the stretched portion to gently go over the lens surface.) I then rinse the goggles with tap water, followed by a distilled water rinse. Before they dry, I use the Q-tip (or a tiny, soft-bristle artist brush) to paint a uniform coating of the Stream-2-Sea anti-fog gel onto the inner lenses. To smooth out this coating, I add some drops of distilled water to make a little ‘puddle’ in each lens cup. After a few seconds of swirling, I pour off the water and check to see that there are no remaining streaks of the Stream-2-Sea. If there are some streaks, I just rinse them with a few more drops of the distilled water and check them again. Once they are totally streak-free, I ‘stand up’ the goggles to let them air dry (similar to what you do with a washed dinner plate). I’ve now used my new OMID goggles 9 times, and they are still in like-new condition. Not a single scratch. They never leak, and they never fog, even when pushed to the limit. Over the past couple weeks, my swims have included a few that were two hours long (in sunny, 90 degree Heat Wave conditions). My old “Vanquisher” goggles would have begun fogging up in just minutes. But, the existing ‘factory’ anti-fog coating already on the OMID goggles, in combination with the Stream-2-Sea anti-fog coating that I also apply, has worked perfectly for me. And, the ‘soft-cushion’ design of the OMID googles has completely eliminated the eye-socket discomfort,,, and no more “raccoon eyes” (which made me look like I had bad eye bags or something.) My goggle-washing and anti-fog procedure may seem very lengthy and tedious when you sit there and read about it, but it soon becomes routine, taking only 5 minutes. I can now enjoy swimming comfortably for HOURS with absolutely no fogging, and it’s keeping my $26 swim goggles looking brand new. The OMID comfort goggles -and- the Stream-2-Sea anti-fog gel are an effective combination for any ‘distance swimmer’.

The quality of the goggles and strap are pretty good. It does a good job of providing a leak-proof seal as long as you wear it correctly. It's advertised as non-fog, but of course it fogs. They all do. But you can address that easily enough with anti fog solution. The visibility is nice, as is the comfort.

This is my 2nd Pair. The 1st pair just broke after 2 years in a Texas pool. Love the Fit and the Sun Protection. i see great underwater, where I love to swim. Not happy they broke but they were worn well and happy to get another pair.

Took it to a waterpark once. pretty good, definitely leak-proof. Overall comfortable I would say. (It's my first time using a swim goggles, have nothing to compare with). A little pricy though. I would also want check out cheaper options.

I love these water goggles, great fit, excellent quality and very clear lenses! I highly recommend!
