Fortunately, Speedo has you covered! They make a variety of goggles suited for active recreation, that will last and be comfortable for countless workouts. But there are many varieties of goggles to choose from, so we at SwimOutlet.com have picked some of the best to highlight below.
Speedo MDR 2.4
The Speedo MDR 2.4 goggle was built for one purpose above all else: Comfort.Speedo took lessons learned from producing diving goggles and created a set of swimming goggles with the same principles. The MDR 2.4 goggle does not need to be as tight to create a seal around your eyes. The lenses are wider than competition goggles, and fit on the outer rim of your eye, rather than on the inner bone as well. Combine this with Speedo’s Elastromeric technology, and you will never have raccoon eyes again!
The goggles also come with Speedo’s ClearSight technology, which ensures that the goggles do not fog up and that they provide excellent peripheral vision. You might forget you are wearing them, you’ll be able to see so well! Adjusting them to fit your face is easy as well; pinch the plastic frame and pull the strap through. Couldn’t be simpler.
Speedo designed the MDR to be flexible, which is why it comes in many varieties. There is the traditional or lightly tinted lens, the mirrored lens for improved vision in bright or outdoor areas, polarized lenses to keep the sun from reflecting in your eyes, a special design for women, and junior sizes.
Unlike many goggles however, the Speedo MDR 2.4 series does not have an adjustable nosepiece, which, depending on the size and shape of your nose, can result in discomfort. But, outside of that, we can’t think of a reason not to purchase these goggles. They do everything they are designed to so well!
Speedo Futura Biofuse
The Speedo Futura Biofuse goggle, like the Speedo MDR 2.4, offers superior comfort and style. The goggle uses Speedo’s BioFuse technology, ensuring that the seals remain watertight without pressing too strongly into your eye. The lenses themselves are curved like a traditional competition goggle, offering the same quality of vision.
The straps can be quickly adjusted with a pinch to the frame to loosen, which allows you to adjust mid-swim with ease. They come with Speedo’s anti-fog technology as well, ensuring that they won’t fog up on even the longest of workouts.
Unlike the speedo MDR 2.4 however, these goggles only come in two variations. A traditional unisex style, and a junior's size.
Also, similar to the Speedo MDR 2.4, these goggles do not have an adjustable nosepiece. Speedo designed the goggles to fit as many different faces as possible, and even without the adjustable nosepiece, the goggles are made of a flexible material to ensure a good fit.
With that said, this goggle will serve you well in all recreational swimming activities. If you like the somewhat rounded eye socket, you can’t go wrong with the Speedo Futura Biofuse!
