Swimming Goggles SPEEDO BIOFUSE 2.0 Mirror Lenses

I am very happy with this pair of goggles. Do just what I need them to.

I bought a pair of these earlier in the summer and within a few weeks a tiny split in the seal resulted in them leaking constantly. I returned them and got a replacement hoping that the issue was a one-off as they fit well, had a good field of vision and looked good. However, it appears the problem is endemic as the replacement pair have now got the same issue. I don’t know whether the problem is with the Biofuse material or with the new grooved seal design, but if the same thing happens with two pairs of the same goggles bought in two different countries and some months apart, it’s likely to be a product design or manufacture issue. I don’t believe it is user error — I dry them carefully after each use and keep them boxed and I managed to keep my last pair of goggles for ten years! My advice would be to look somewhere else for a reliable pair of swimming goggles — as I will be now doing.

I used these for swimming laps in the pool for one single hour. After use, I placed them in my swim bag together with my flip flops, towel, and bathing suit (they do not come with a case), snd I didn't expect anything to happen to them as there was nothing metallic in this bag. When I returned home I saw that there were fine scratches on the mirrored surface, and thinking that it was simply dirt or sweat, I attempted to rub the lense with my finger nail, which lead to more scratches. I was able to scratch them very easily with my fingernail. I went back to the store and returned them instantly. I've owned swimwear and sunglasses in this price range before and I was never so disappointed, especially from a well known brand like Speedo. I got the same poor performance as my Biofuse 1.0 goggles which are half the price, but don't have the weak mirrored coating.
