Maybe I Should Swim to Sweden
It's been a while since I've swam competitively, but I recently started swimming again for exercise. I looked for the highest rated goggles that resembled the ones I used to compete with and picked up two pairs of Friendly Swede Swim Goggles. So far, I've swam in them a few times and they've been just as good as, if not better than the ones I used to compete with. I haven't had too much time with them just yet, so I'll update my review down the road, but I doubt I'll have any issues with these. Anyways, I'll try to go over each part of the goggles with my experiences so far.First and foremost, the Friendly Swede(s). I'm starting with the best point with the hopes that if you stop reading this review, that at least you'll get this. I received an e-mail from the seller asking me to leave a review of the goggles, and normally I don't e-mail back, but this time I did to ask a few questions about caring for the goggles. Jessie responded quickly and in a very friendly fashion - she was extremely nice, very honest, and really helpful. When I asked, she even told me the story behind their name! I haven't had any issues with the goggles so far, but I'm sure that if I did, I would have my problems taken care of very quickly.Second, the price: I bought two pairs for around $25 USD with tax - that would get me one pair of goggles anywhere else I tried to buy them. My old goggles cost $25 for one pair and didn't even fit as comfortably as these, so this purchase didn't really require any thought.Third, and most importantly, the quality: The goggles both appear to be higher quality than my old goggles (even when they were new) and fit better and more comfortably. I'll break it down by part:Lenses: The lenses are clear with a wide field of view so that you can see where you're going - I think they might have been a bit wider than my other goggles. They might not give you as great of a view as snorkling goggles, but I sure hope you're not snorkling with these. They're very slightly tinted (effectively none) so I wouldn't use them as outdoor swimming goggles for training during the summer, but they're great for indoor pools. I haven't tested their scratch resistance, and I hope that I never do, but they appear to be standard hard plastic, so I wouldn't go about mashing them into concrete just yet. As for anti-fog, they were absolutely great - I swam (multiple times) for over an hour in 84°F water and the goggles were barely fogged by the end of my workout. I had even let water into the goggles and yet I could see clearly. I will update my review when the anti-fog wears off - hopefully that won't be soon.Eyepieces: The eyepieces that cup around the eyes were very comfortable. I prefer mine tight, and after switching out the nosepiece to a slightly shorter one, the goggles fit perfectly around my eyes. I always had uncomfortable raccoon eyes after swimming, but these were very comfortable and required very little adjusting after putting them on the first time. While I may have still had marks around my eyes after taking them off, they wore off quickly and didn't irritate me at all.Strap: I noticed this a bit later when adjusting them, but the goggle straps are actually designed pretty intelligently. Whereas my competition goggles had a thin flat strap all the way through the goggles, these straps were cylindrical towards the middle and flat on the back of the head - therefore, they were easy to adjust and rethread without twisting, and also remained comfortable when I put them on. It was also very easy to adjust the length and tightness of the goggles, and the material appears to be strong.Basically, the Friendly Swede's customer service, price, and quality cannot be beat right now, unless someone gives me their goggles for free. Even then, I might prefer these goggles a little bit more.

Great quality, low price, fit me well.
I was a competitive swimmer since the 1970's - before they "invented" real swim goggles like these and I worn every brand you can name (Speedo, Tyr, Swim Fit and Nike) over the ensuing decades. These "Friendly Swede" goggles are absolutely the finest fitting, best performing and the first totally fog proof swim goggles I have ever used.A few notes on the "Friendly Swede" models - the black set have dark lenses if you are swimming outside and want some sunlight protection for your eyes, the black set works well. The other pair are totally clear. The side vision is good on both. The straps are comfortable and they fit me perfect right out of the box. Speaking of the box, each pair has it's own carrying hard shell carrying case which is great because my old goggles are scratched up from rattling around loose in my swim bag.The fit was important for me because I have a large, round face and a lot of goggles just don't fit me well. These were perfect. They don't leak, fog up or misbehave in any manner. Overall, a solid purchase at an excellent price and I highly recommend them.

Great googles, price, company. Anti-fog treatment? Meh...
Four stars for the product and the fifth for the customer service. Each pair of these goggles fit well, with no leaks unless I didn't have the straps quite right because of my hair. (Swim cap fixed that right up...) The black pair did seem to just fit better; I can't really articulate it. I did have to change to smaller nose pieces and had very little difficulty doing so with either pair.I was expecting the life of the anti-fog claim to be a bit longer-lived than it was. The black pair lasted three weeks of three @30-minute swims per week before they fogged as soon as I put them on. Disappointed, I responded to Customer Service followup emails from The Friendly Swede, complaining of the loss of anti-fog so quickly. They were friendly and offered suggestions for anti fog products and tricks, but stated that the anti-fog was not guaranteed. They stated that if I tried other methods and still had issues, they would like the goggles back for QC evaluation.I then used the clear pair and had exactly the same experience! Approximately 3 weeks of 3 30-minute swims and I am losing anti-fog properties.I have seen other reviews of the goggles with very similar claims to my own, but have also seen claims of months of anti-fog protection...I would still not hesitate to recommend these goggles or this company to anyone. Just have conservative expectations on the length of the anti-fog treatment.

Good all-around goggles for the price.
For non-competitive training, these are great. I know the anti-fog will not last forever, but I have been swimming with these twice a week for about three months now, and they barely fog up. They are comfortable to wear. My only complaint is that my peripheral sight is blocked by the side construction so you cannot see the lane line when you swim back stroke. Otherwise, a good pair of goggles.

Quality product and great customer service
I bought my first set of goggles from The Friendly Swede at the end of November 2015 because they were the right style and price. I initially used the clear pair, which quickly began to lose its anti-fog properties, and then started to get really, really foggy - like abnormally foggy. I swim in a saltwater pool multiple times a week and I always rinse my goggles after a swim - this was after one week of use. So I switched to the black pair, which have remained perfectly non-foggy for the past 4 months. I really love the style and fit of these googles. They are sleek and unobtrusive but they still have a bit of a cushion - they aren't like your typical Swedish goggles (don't be confused - despite the name, these are not the Swedish style of goggle). I really liked how the black pair held up, but I swim indoors and sometimes the lighting is not the best, so a dark color is not ideal. I contacted a Friendly Swede customer service rep, Katie, about placing an order and possibly getting two clear pairs of goggles in my set instead of one clear and one dark. She immediately answered - unfortunately, their goggles automatically come as a set of black and clear - BUT because I explained how my original clear pair seemed faulty, she kindly sent me a new set - so a black and a clear pair - FOR FREE. I couldn't believe it. What a friendly gesture! And, as I expected, the new pair of clear goggles is holding up very nicely. It seems like this company cares about quality and customer satisfaction, and that's rare nowadays. I plan to buy more products from them in the future.

Work perfectly for me
I'm rather picky about goggles, and these goggles work perfectly for me. They fit my face shape and I have not had a single leak. Also, the anti fog coating works! I've used them for lap swimming, 45 minutes each day, 6 days in a row. They are comfortable and definitely the best goggles I've ever owned. I avoid rubbing the inside of the goggles. Those who have complained about the anti fog not lasting have probably, out of habit, rubbed their fingertips inside the goggles and inadvertently rubbed off the coating that prevents fogging. This price for two pair is excellent! I will definitely be buying these again.

I just don't know...
These goggles do a poor job swimming. I threw them into the pool and they briefly floated which is certainly not swimming. I mean floating is great, but I bought swim goggles not float goggles. After they floated they began to sink which is pretty much the opposite of swimming. I don't care what you say sinking is definitely not swimming. So, after that failed foray into water buoyancy with these things I began to think. Perhaps they teach someone to swim.With that in mind I went to the neighbor who has a kid who was still struggling to loose his water wings. So we strapped them onto his shockingly larger head and the same thing happened! He floated for a short period then began to sink. Now, he made a lot more commotion than the goggles did the first time, but inevitably he began to sink. Having already seen this part of the process the kid exited the pool. Now I was thoroughly confused...A pair of swim goggles and they don't swim, nor help you be able to swim. So far the best way to describe these was Float and Sink Goggles. Then I began thinking again...PERHAPS They are meant to be worn by a swimmer and they will make him swim. This had to be it! While I am no real swimmer, I, unlike the neighbor kid, can swim which shouldn't preclude me from the test. I strapped on the goggles slipped into the pool. The goggles just sat there on my face pulling my hair slightly. I felt not urge to swim and I felt no extra assistance in making me swim. I floated perfectly fine sure, but I eventually began to sink.This time I thought to myself perhaps the goggles needed to have a human component mixed with an underwater component. I let the sinking happen and waited. They kept the stinging water out of my eyes which was nice, but once again I sat there rapidly running out of air. They neither swam, made me swim or helped me swim. So, in order to avoid drowning I swam up to the surface and paddled around the pool a bit, and they certainly didn't make me swim faster or make me less tired once I was finished swimming. I wore them swimming, but they did nothing to help me swim except keep water from my eyes. I propose we rename these things to Float and Sink Goggles as that would seem to be what they do best.

High praise from a practical Norwegian for The Friendly Swede
I'm now a big fan of the Friendly/Trendy Swede. This bargain pair of 2 swim goggles is literally what the doctor ordered. Having come down with a textbook example of Bell's Palsy with a left eye that will neither blink nor close until facial nerves regenerate and heal, these swim goggles are perfect for keeping soap and water out of one's eye when showering and washing hair. Much better than taping the eye shut. These are nice, simple goggles with a good seal around the eye. The strap adjusts and the larger nose piece worked fine on my adult female face. Measuring across the bridge, my eyes are exactly 1 inch apart at the inside corners. The silicon strap is adjustable and the goggles stay securely in place. Perfect! I'm sure they'll work just dandy for a swim as well.We highly recommend perusing The Friendly Swede's Amazon store. They have a nice selection of items, tech, household, and sport/outdoor related that make great little gifts. I purchased a set of 18 touch-screen styli to get Amazon free shipping. They work great with my Samsung Note and I've already distributed some to my smart phone and tablet addicted friends who are loving them.All items arrived quickly securely packed. The Friendly Swede is my new best friend. Thank you for selling these swim goggles!

consigliatissimi!!
questi occhialini della Friendly Swede son fantastici,li utilizzo moltissimo dato che il mio allenamento è molto intenso,2 giorni in piscina e gli altri giorni al mare in solitaria o con istruttore, ma ora passo a parlare un po degli occhialini:BIANCHIottimi per il nuoto indoor sono consigliatissimi per qualsiasi stile,io li ho provati: stile,dorso,stile testa fuori,rana,delfino e non è entrata neanche una goccia d'acqua,neanche facendo il delfino che è un continuo testa fuori testa dentro,provati anche con i tuffi,in qualsiasi situazione rimangono perfettamente aderenti al viso e non si staccano sia partendo dal bordo piscina che dal trampolino.sono perfetti anche per il nuoto su fondo piscina.le lenti sono antiappanamento,perfetti per chi come me deve sempre tenere d'occhio ciò che ha davanti.NERIperfetti per il nuoto outdoor,le lenti sono scurite il che con il sole estivo è un'ottima cosa,provati con gli stessi stili indicati sopra,non entra un filo d'acqua e rimangono aderenti,provati in un tuffo da motoscafo in movimento sono rimasti fermi e non è entrato nulla,perfetti anche per chi come me sta svolgendo corsi di salvataggio in acqua.ovviamente anche questi sono antiappanamento.questi scuri non sono consigliati se volete realizzare delle foto utilizzando una fotocamera con mirino e non con lo schermo,perché tendono a dare fastidio se avvicinati troppo al mirino,se invece utilizzate una fotocamera con schermo questi occhialini sono perfetti e cosa più importante per un fotografo non modificano molto i colori.CONCLUSIONIin conclusione questi occhialini sono molto comodi,adatti ad ogni stile,secondo me sono anche molto più carini di quelli che spesso si trovano nei negozi e con il prezzo di uno acquistato in negozio,qui ne avete 2 di ottima fattura e qualità.stavo dimenticando di dire che arrivano con custodie rigide e con 4 stanghette per il naso di ricambio.il servizio di the friendly swede è come sempre fantastico e la spedizione come solito di Amazon velocissima

Finally - high quality goggles !!!
I have waited 2 months to write this review as I have been let down so many times in the past by goggles that have not lasted very long before becoming problematic. This time I wanted to be sure before writing a review that I hope will help others.Firstly, I spend on average around 5 hours a week in the pool so I needed goggles that would exceed the capabilities of past purchases that have repeatedly let me down. Be it poor quality which break far too easily/quickly or ones that are advertised as anti-fogging only for them to lose this feature after a couple of weeks.Secondly, having a broken nose that never healed straight, I find it difficult to find comfortable eye-wear be it glasses or goggles. The last few pairs I have had have left marks on my nose and even taken the skin off which never healed whilst I was still using them.These goggles that I purchased from the Friendly Swede have had extensive use on a daily basis for 2 months now and have given me no problems whatsoever. They are comfortable, they fit well and they still give me as clear vision as they did the first time I put them on with no fogging issues.As a regular swimmer these are the best goggles that I have ever purchased and I would urge anyone to purchase these because you will not be disappointed. I don't think you will find a better pair than these and at such a fantastic price too.

vraiment bien
ces lunettes de natation sont vraiment bien. après avoir testé et être deçue par de nombreux produits/marques, les dernières séances en piscine avec celles-ci ont été un vrai régal. pas de buée, une vision claire, stables, faciles à ajuster. je reconnais que changer le pont du nez n'est pas chose aisée, mais on y arrive sans rien casser! en plus le prix est vraiment correct pour 2 paires. très contente de mon achat.

Calidad excelente
Espectacular! El producto tiene una calidad muy superior a lo que esperaba por el precio. Vienen dos gafas, ligeras, fáciles de poner, con un ajuste estupendo, en las que no entra nada de agua, y no se empañan. Visión muy muy nítida bajo el agua. Lo recomiendo al 200%
