Best all-rounders
Zone3 Attack
For those doing their swimming in pools and open water, you’ll want a pair of goggle that works for both. Our pick of the best goggles here are Zone3’s Attack. They’re extremely comfortable, have a secure strap, and a solid rating for keeping water out. You can get them with photochromatic lenses, too, which means they stay clear in the pool but darken up in bright sunlight. They’ll also protect your eyes from UVA/UVB rays and have an anti-fog coating to stop them from misting up.
Huub Altair
Our runner-up goggles in this category are pricier, but they’ve got a super cool aviator look to them and are specially built to deal with different light types. Huub‘s Altair swimming goggles have three interchangeable lenses that let you see clearly whether you’re indoors or out, at any time of day and in varied weather conditions.
Best on a budget
If you’re new to swimming, aren’t ready to invest in fancy gear or simply don’t have the cash to splash just now, here are some options for under a tenner.
Tyr Socket Rockets
Socket Rockets pack a punch even with their modest price tag. They’re comfy on the face thanks to soft eye-pieces and an adjustable nose bridge. A streamlined design reduces drag in the water, and the lenses offer UVA/UVB protection.
Aqua Sphere Kameleon
If the Socket Rockets’ racing style isn’t for you, you can try Aqua Sphere’s Kameleon goggles. They’re more mask-like in looks while still offering UVA/UVB protection, good visibility and anti-fog lenses.
Best premium swimming goggles
Form Smart Goggles
Looking for something extra from your goggles? We recommend checking out relative newcomer to the world of swimming: Form. What’s smart about these professional swimming goggles is that they measure key metrics like distance, heart rate and pace, and then display the stats right before your eyes. That frees you up to concentrate on your stroke without having to look at a clock or your watch. They’re not cheap, but if you’re willing to take the plunge they’ll definitely level up your fitness training.
