I had to buy some more goggles the other day at the swimming baths as my other cheap ones broke. The plastic strip that goes over your nose snapped. I think that the chlorine wrecked them, but they where only cheap so they did last quite a while.

So the swimming baths only had a few to choose from. I didn't want to buy the cheap ones again as I knew that they would just break. So these where the middle of the range, priced at £19.99. The cheap ones that I brought before where £6.99.

They where available in a choice of colours. All of which are pale and transparent. There was Purple, Blue, Green or Clear.

On the front of the packaging there was a picture of a man swimming wearing the goggles.

The goggles are adjustable to sit different sized heads. There are smaller ones for children. You can adjust the large strap at the back to make the goggles fit snugly. You can also adjust the nose piece so it will fit the slimmest or fattest of noses.

The goggle Len's are slightly tinted the colour that you choose them in.

Around the edge of the lenses is the plastic rubber edge which fits tightly on to your face.
They do not leak at all. I have dived off the diving boards and they have not once slipped off or leaked. The cheaper ones always moved around and had to keep adjusting them. I have now won them swimming for the last seven weeks and I have not noticed any reduction in effectiveness.

I would recommend them to anyone as they are so good. hate goggles that leak as my mascara would run and end up with panda eyes and the chlorine makes them itch and go red. Well worth £19.99

Seems like they are a bit expensive for swimming! Julia
