Review: First foray into Swedish style goggles, and I'm a fan! - I recently started swimming for exercise, and have been struggling to find a pair of goggles that work for me. I bought almost a dozen pairs over the last few weeks, but they all had the same issues - mainly that they leaked something fierce, no matter how tight I kept them. They also, weirdly, would leak the most when I exhaled through my nose during freestyle. Not ideal. I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of expensive custom fit goggles, but decided to try these first. Several swimming YouTube channels mentioned Swede style goggles, so I decided to "take the plunge", as it were, and buy a pair. I'm glad I did! My eyes are apparently much more deeply set than I realized, paired with a pronounced brow ridge, and well...I can see why other goggles leak so badly. Not these bad boys! I most recently wore them for about an hour, and they were extremely comfortable. I only adjusted them a few times since the sides of my nose were getting a bit pinched. But no leaks! Biggest downsides were the flexible nose piece snapped immediately (replaced it with the string), and the fact that these have just about no actual mirroring. I did backstroke and had to close my eyes against the sun, it was so bright. Overall, though, comfortable, lightweight, look cool. Definitely worth the price. Recommended! Review: Goggles for Competent Swimmers - I've been swimming competitively since I was (5) years old. When the Swedish-style goggles first came out, I was an early adapter and have been using this style ever since - anything else feels like I'm swimming with a windshield on my face. But having said that, these goggles are not for the average casual/recreational swimmer. Most casual swimmers feel like the goggles are too tight on their face - at least that's the most common critique I hear when I've lent my goggles out to someone to try for a lap or two. But someone used to the hard plastic Swedish goggles will consider these a rather comfortable upgrade. What works well for me is taking the extra time to fit the goggles with the included string and tubing. Additionally, I pair the goggles with a bungee-cord head-strap. This strap allows for quick adjustments and has much greater durability than the included rubber-straps; after all, there's nothing worse than showing up for a swim and having your head-strap snap just as you're preparing to push off the wall! I keep a backup pair of goggles and straps in a plastic ziplock and keep it close in my mesh swim bag so if I do happen to have a goggle malfunction - it doesn't ruin a workout. Before you buy, just understand what you're getting. These are designed for competition; as such, these are low-profile, tight, and comfortable - just the way I like them! ## Features - Socket Rockets 2.0 Metallized is a traditional racing goggle. Comes assembled. - Optical grade polycarbonate lenses are UV protected - Same function and fit as our classic Socket Rocket, now with best glare-reducing technology ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001MWRRMO | | ASIN | B001MWRRMO | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,668 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #301 in Swimming Goggles | | Brand Name | TYR | | Color | Metal Fire | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (474) | | Date First Available | February 22, 2005 | | Department | unisex-adult | | Eyewear Type | Swimming Goggles | | Fit Type | Universal | | Frame Material | Polycarbonate (PC) | | Frame Type | Full Rim | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00036702123815 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Is Metal Detectable | No | | Item Dimensions | 8.5 x 3 x 1.75 inches | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1.6 ounces | | Item model number | LGL2M | | Lens Coating | Anti-Fog Coating | | Lens Color | red | | Lens Material | Polycarbonate | | Manufacturer | TYR | | Manufacturer | TYR | | Material | Silicone | | Model Name | Socket Rockets 2.0 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Care Instructions | Clean with water and mild soap, air dry. | | Product Dimensions | 8.5 x 3 x 1.75 inches; 1.6 ounces | | Size | One Size | | Special Features | Abrasion Resistant, Anti-Fog, UV Protection | | Sport Type | Swimming | | Style | Traditional,classic | | Style Number | LGL2M | | UPC | 036702123815 | | Ultraviolet Light Protection | true | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Socket Rockets 2.0 Racing Metallized Goggle (Metallic Fire) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zHIZ6V66L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I swim at night with only light from the pool. Are these good for low lighting?** A: Sometimes I swim at night too… that would be my only complaint with these because they don’t let in very much light but it’s definitely enough to see the lines in the pool etc. Despite that one thing I still haven’t found better goggles to date so don’t let that deter you from ordering these. **Q: Are these mirrored at all?** A: No. **Q: Do they come with a case?** A: No...goggle cases sold seperately **Q: Are these good for a high bridges nose?** A: Absolutely. The nose piece is adjustable so you can customize the fit - I love these goggles ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First foray into Swedish style goggles, and I'm a fan! *by C***S on June 24, 2024* I recently started swimming for exercise, and have been struggling to find a pair of goggles that work for me.

Head strap snapped first, then after i tied the back, nose strap snapped next. Been through hundreds of Swedish racing goggles before so its not like I was putting them through any excessive tension. I’ve had rubber straps snap before, but it means you’d have to be selling some pretty old inventory that’s been sitting around for more than a year or so. I only bought these a month ago. Rubbish. ## Frequently Bought Together - TYR Socket Rockets 2.0 Racing Metallized Goggle (Metallic Fire) - TYR Blackops Mirrored Swim Goggles - TYR Adult Wrinkle Free Silicone Swim Cap for Drag Reduction and Hair Protection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5150640-socket-rockets-2-0-racing-metallized-goggle-metallic-fire](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5150640-socket-rockets-2-0-racing-metallized-goggle-metallic-fire) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
