I have been very pleased with the quality and durability of these goggles. I have been using them for almost a year and would definitely recommend them.

College Swimmer's Review
»
This is my 5th year of swimming and my 1st year swimming in college. I've tried a few other brands, but I've found vanquishers to be reliable and water-tight. The mirrored swim goggle is especially nice outside where it's sunny, but can be a little annoying indoors.

Excellent with the exception of the anti-fog
»
These are by far the most comfortable goggles I've ever worn. They've sure come a long way from 20 years ago when I swam competitively! They form a perfect but comfortable seal on my face. They do not significantly mark my face (aside from the lack of a tan I'm developing around my eyes).
The straps are great, although at their maximum length they were just able to fit comfortably around my (apparently large) head.
I did have to use one of the provided, smaller nose bridge pieces. They were every bit as hard as others have said to remove! What a nightmare. You have to use so much force you feel like you're sure to break the goggles. But, once I successfully replaced it, I got the wonderful fit described above.
The mirroring is significant and is perfect for a sunny day, even backstroke with the bright sun hitting you straight in the face. I wouldn't recommend them for indoor swimming as it would likely be too dark.
The anti-fog is quite disappointing. Now, about a month after purchase and swimming ~4 times per week, the anti-fog is completely useless. While the pool in which I swim is chlorinated, I took all the steps I could to avoid this loss. I _never_ touched the inside, I avoided getting pool water on the inside, and I washed the goggles out twice, once in freshwater just after exiting the pool, and again when I got home. Nevertheless, they fog up pretty badly. It's possible, however, that my eyelashes are to blame as they brush against the lens if the suction gets strong.
Despite this, I love and highly recommend these goggles and doubt I could find a better product until a more durable anti-fog solution comes along.

Good Goggles

Work very well, and have them in my school colors (a plus). However the anti fog coating seemed to wear off decently quick, but I do not have anything else to compare it to, so I could be completely misinformed.

Just perfect
»
I bought this item for my vacations and it was nothing but perfect. I cannot believe the crisp vision, no fog, no UV radiation. Wish I had them 20 years ago when I used to compete. :)
