BEST SWIM GOOGLES!
These are the best swimming goggles I have tried in the last 3 years. Their fit is perfect, the clarity in the water is incredible, they don't fog up, and the sun protection allows swimming at midday without any discomfort from the sun. Excellent product in terms of cost-benefit ratio.

Lives up to Roka reputation
I've been out of the triathlon "game" for a few years, and Roka was a recent addition to the goggle lineup just before I took a break for family-building. Now that I'm ready to re-enter the sport, I took a look at what has changed in goggles....and the answer is, not much!I've used a few AquaSphere models, tried some Speedo models with extended field of vision (for use in open water as well as the pool) and figured I'd give the Roka ones a try. I'm not disappointed!Fit is great, goggle lines not too bad, anti-fog is some of the best I've seen.I was a little afraid of the reviews that indicate the slant of the lenses can be disorienting in the pool, but I didn't find this to be a problem, even when doing flip turns.The blue tint is perfect for indoors, mornings or overcast days, but I'd prefer a bit darker for bright afternoon swims- but I'd say it would be my go-to for 80% of my swims. The only tint I've found to be better-suited to more conditions is the light-sensitive one on Zoggs- that stuff was great!

Great Product
My go to googles for outdoor swimming. I have been using these for years and they generally last a bit and I rely on them for race day

Performant but uncomfortable for some people
These are a great upgrade from entry level open water goggles. The field of vision is wide, the anti-fog works super well and I experience no leaks.The only issue I had is, I hope, specific to people with hooded eyes: the upper part of the cups presses uncomfortably in above your eye and against the eyebrow. It's no so bad that it's unusable, but it's noticeably less comfortable than a cushier model (like the Speedo I upgraded from).Small price to pay for not having to defog and drain every 100m, but just a heads up!

Excellent goggles for open water swimming!
Excellent goggles! I use these for open-water swimming, because the optics are crystal-clear and there is a nice, wide range of vision. Wore them for the Gulf Coast Half-Ironman in Panama City this year. The clarity was amazing, and it's nice to see what's on either side of me. I buy a lot of goggles, to be honest, (mostly Speedo Vanquishers, and the occasional TYR pair), and these are are my favorite. The price is a little more than my regular pool goggles, but I'd say they're worth it. As an added bonus, they look WAY cool. (Far cooler looking than the Aqua Sphere open water goggles, in my opinion.) I give them five stars!

Amazing goggles... for the first few uses.
For the price, I expected a better value out of these goggles. They served me decently for one Hawaiian vacation in March of 2019. I consider them as good as a "rental."To clarify, after the first few uses I attempted to clean the interior with an anti-fog cloth since water had started to come into the left eye (and subsequently, it was fogging).1. I can see there is a slight warp in the seal on that eye, so that must be why it leaked in the first place. They were stored in an eyeglass case, so I don't believe that improper storage is to blame. I am not sure if I noticed this when they were brand new.2. Using the cloth (which I use on my ski goggles with no issue) - it left horrible scratches on the interior of the lens. I immediately switched to a microfiber cloth, with the same results.I'm not sure who is at fault here, and it very well could be me. Perhaps the anti-fog cloth is not meant for this type of swimwear. Perhaps they were not meant for ocean swimming, and the seawater would damage the interior coating or seal.I also wouldn't expect the cloth that I use to clean my glasses to do the same damage, nor would I expect the seal to have failed so easily on a premium pair of goggles. The upside is that the goggles were excellent when they were not leaking, and fit very well - so I'd wager this is a 2.5 star review rounded up to 3.

EXCELLENT
Really liked how the glasses fit to the face and specially how they work in open water, they highlight all the necessary colors for open water swimming such as buoys and kayaks. Great option.

Terrible Seal; Broken After 6 Uses
Two OWS and four practice sessions at a competition pool and these goggles have failed. They were great the first three sessions and I absolutely loved them. The next two sessions, I noticed leaks and fogging. When I went to use them this morning, I noticed the seals had deformed. I keep them inside a protective sunglasses case once they're dry after use. I've never owned a pair of goggles that did this. I really expected more from a Roka brand and waited almost a month to get them. I'd avoid these until they sort out whatever this problem is with the deformation on the seal.
