Pros: 
Simple, cheap , they work
Cons: 
Few

Bought two pairs to try - super cheap - heard good things about them becasue they didn't have any foam or space age gasket material. Swam in the pool over the weekend and I have to say, they are more comfortable than my kaimans - I found that I had to use less tension to hold them in place and had less rings around the eyes as well. No leaks the entire swim.

What i like: Simple - they worked. No fiddling for the entire swim session. I couldn't say that before. Cheap - if I leave them at the side of the pool or hanging in the locker - no biggie, i'll pass on A beer at the pub and get 2 new pairs. For pool swims now the only goggle I'll wear.

Cons: Not sure I would be confident enough to wear them in open water on race day. i fumble a bit getting them on, can only imagine trying to reset them with one eye open, lying on my back, trying to get out of the way of people.

Price Paid: 
$5.00
