Sable Swim Goggles

Sable WaterOptics Swim Goggles have amazingly good optics, but I did not like the goggle's field of view. I felt like I was swimming in a tunnel. These goggles did not leak, were easy to adjust, and the view was crystal clear, but I could not get over being able to see the eyepiece frame in my peripheral field of view.

Sable WaterOptics Swim Goggles are incredibly "clear" - that was the first thing I noticed when I put them on. I could see better in them than in any other goggle I have ever tried. But then I noticed the dark edges; I could see the eyepiece frame just at the edges of my peripheral vision. This might be something I could learn to live with, but in the short time I tested the goggles it always made my feel a little claustrophobic. This was not true of everyone I had try them.

The main point of these goggles is their clarity, and they far exceed anything I have ever used. I can't say it enough, these goggles made the swimming pool come alive! I tried a clear style and a mirrored style. Both had the same fantastic clarity.

The goggles come with 3 different nose pieces. Once you find the one that fits you, you don't have to fiddle with that part again. You probably won't be loaning them to others unless they have the same size nose as you, as changing the nose piece is not a 5-second task. It is not hard to do, but you want to do it out of the pool and with dry hands.

The silicone gaskets were leak-free and comfortable, but I am an old-fashioned foam gasket guy. I had others try them and the reports were all positive, the gaskets worked great and were comfortable.

Strap adjustment was easy, and once done they did not come loose. Nothing is a bigger pain than to have to re-adjust your goggle strap every day. The system used by Sable did not come loose over the course of a week of swimming.

Sable WaterOptics Swim Goggles come in recreational (RS922) and competition (RS101) styles. All styles can be ordered with prescription lenses.
