Blue Seventy Element Goggle

Over the summer, it has become highly apparent that swimming outdoors was getting to be more difficult as the sunlight in the eyes was becoming a pain. I looked at my old pair of Speedo goggles and decided that it was time to pick up a new pair. So, on my list of last minute to do before Steelhead was to pick up a new pair of swim goggles.

I stopped in at the local triathlon store to see what they had. I looked at the different models that they had and settled on a pair of Blue Seventy Elements.

My old pair of Speedo goggles had an adjustable nosepiece that used to hurt the bridge of my nose. The Elements do not have an adjustable nosepiece but the fit is not compromised.

The goggles fit well around the eyes and the seal is watertight. The head adjustable strap is wide for a secure feel when worn. When worn they are comfortable around the eyes and don’t provide that added pressure that most goggles do to keep them watertight.

The Elements are available in a range of lens colors for particular lighting conditions encountered in the open water. I got the pair that has a smoked mirrored finish to block out the sunlight but they still provide enough light for great vision. Additionally they provide exceptional vision to the front and side very similar to my old Speedo brand.

Lastly, they come in a great case to keep them clean while not in use.

These goggles are great, and are worth every penny of the $20 that I paid for them. You can get them cheeper online but I was running out of time and didn't want to risk not getting them in the mail.
