Can the Kaiman goggle hold up in swim meet competition such as dive starts without leaking?

These goggles are great for competitive swimmers. They have a very soft silicone seal. They should not leak if they fit correctly. It's difficult to say they would not leak or to guarantee it because fit is a very personal thing.

Yes, I feel these goggles can. The eye cups have good suction and are comfortable too.

I'm not a diver myself. However these lenses go on the inside of my sunglasses. I don't see why they wouldn't work on the inside of a diving mask. Just stuck mine under water in the sink and stayed put. That makes me think they would be stable when you clear your mask. Good luck.

I swim laps in a saline pool and haven't had any issues. The closure seals very tightly.

I used it while scuba diving and it was fine. Water will of course get in and it needs to be rinsed after use in salt water especially. Stability with a GoPro was fine under water. On land it might start to rotate after a while but if that happens you can slightly press the pole so it will become oval and then it won't rotate anymore. I recommend it.

I would avoid this. I had to return ours as the mask always leaked for both myself and my daughter. I think they are simply too small and cheaply made. Worth the time to go to a dive shop and fit a good mask.

I use them with a drysuit when kayaking with cuffs over and cinched. They are not dry but limited leakage When immersed when entering or exiting boat. Constant and prolonged immersion may pose a problem.

As long as the lid is on all the way and the flip top is snapped down, there is no leakage.

It really depends on the shape of your face. In my case, for instance, as I'm Asian, the regular size is good enough. I also sweat a lot and as the water prevents sweating in swimming in all water submersed parts of my body, I tend to have a sweaty face and the goggles usually slip if the adherence is not good. The Aqua Sphere products attend all my needs. The regular one is good for me. However, for my son (also Asian) the very smaller fit is better. My experience shows that females (Caucasian or Asian) prefer the regular one. When swimming, the best way is not to have a very tight goggle. I've been swimming for over 20 years (pools and sea).The only problem I was never able to solve is the fogging. However, the tighter you use your goggles the foggier it gets. Hope I've helped.

I don't know . I use those for my swim goggles only . I noticed however that my goggles will get foggy ( despite the Artificial spit) if i will shower with hot water before entering the pool ( simulating the body heat scenario). It is a good idea - I may try it in the winter.

goggles go around the eye, so no pressure like with normal goggles. They are water tight and do have suction on your face, but not around the eye.

Yes it stays very tight and does not leak!! I love mine. I have one at work and one at home. Use them everyday!

Mine fits tight enough to hold upside down and no water leaks out. It does not have a sealing ring so it may not be air tight.

I have bought two of these. No problem with leaks, but realize that with thin plastic air will permeate it. Need to top up with air every few days to keep bounce-back action working.

the ladies Kayenne were my originals, bought before i really got into triathlon. I love the Kayenne but they've recently started leaking on me (although, they are already two years old)! I have a smaller face and have goggle leaks with most goggles that I purchase. Aqua Sphere are definitely my faves and they don't feel smaller - they are just more rounded on the outside corners than the Kayenne's. Hope that helps!

All goggles leak from my experience...the only question is when. Or the lenses get all gooey and filmy and therefore are worthless. So there is a dance between which will fail first. I swim everyday so goggles last me only a month or so. The larger aqua sphere goggles leak the fastest as they have more rubber surface to potentially get exposed to the elements and deteriorate. The smaller goggles, as these are are comparable to Speedos and TYRs

I'm sure this depends on how tight you keep the straps, but for me I keep them as loose as possible and they still seal well. Because they are not so tight and because they don't sit down in the eye sockets as much as a traditional speed goggle, they leave almost no marks on my face.

I think if you are a strong, fast swimmer they may come loose..... This could be remedied by using goggles to secure them, or a swimming cap. I do a fast side stroke and I haven't had any problem with them coming off while swimming. I also do a slow- medium freestyle and I haven't had a problem with them. I love them....for the price, give them a try. You could always use them for relaxing pool time or work-outs...
