has anyone used the goggles for open water ocean swim?

I have not. But I'm very happy with these goggles and use them three or four times a week when I swim laps. They are very comfortable and rarely leak.

I think is the same. But, I would like to advice you that if you are planning to use them at the ocean they are not very appropriate. The straps tend to lose and or to drift away and the system is not very stable. I can only use them at them pool. For waves there are other models with fixed strap that are more functionals. Hope this help

As a newer Go Pro user, i cant give my opinion from experience, but i did use the drying inserts, while snorkeling and in humid Jamaica and everything worked out great. I did use the filters some, but didn't notice a huge difference, didn't have any issue getting them to fit. I opted on the side of better to have it then not have it. Haven't used them since.

I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended.. It's not gonna seal ur ears completely.. Nothing's perfect. Just put them away and they dry themselves and ready to go again! Personally, I think it's a good pair of ear pieces for swimming out there.. Tried H2o, works great but feel very cheap and the sound quality is a major different! 1 tip, You need to find the perfect ear pieces and hooks for urself to have a good fit(the hooks breaks easily so be careful) I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended..

I think that they are best I've ever had. I wear a neptune finis MP3 player with them. They will eventually start to fog. Forget about buying antifog treatments. Wash with shampoo occasionally (mild detergent), and every now and again, when they are completely dry, like before you jump into the water, spit into them and thoughly lick the inside of the lenses. Yes it sounds gross but your eyeballs are swimming in the same spit already and this coats the lens with a layer of protein. They stay perfectly clear after that. Doesn't work if they are already wet and try not to be seen doing this ("look everyone, that weirdo is french kissing their goggles!") I think that they are best I've ever had.

Yes, there are actually strap adjustments on the ends/sides of the goggles. Not sure exactly what to call them... but they are pretty nifty and easy. You can actually adjust them while they are on your head. You can pull the excess straps and you can hear the "clicking" sound as it locks and gets tighter. If too tight, there are release buttons on them too for it to loosen. Easiest goggles to adjust I've ever used.

They have a thin seal which does not help. I got some Zoggs trivision goggles with a seal 3 times as wide and solved the problem.

I have not had a problem with it. I think it depends on your style of shooting and placement of your weapon. I find these goggles not to hinder my field of vision.

I own these fins -purchased a few years ago. They have held up beautifully for swimming in the ocean about one to two miles almost every day. Their weakest point is the strap. Be sure you always wet the fins and put them on wet feet. Then the strap is no trouble. I even use these as my dive fins now, really love them. So comfortable. These are the only fins I use now - and I have many different types from before I found these. They would not be good for deep free diving, however,

I am not quite sure if the goggles are up to the impact safety standards required. They may be ok but you might want to check with the paintball host company before hand.

I've rode for 20 years, and I wouldn't recommend it. The strap is really cheap and if you try to tighten it too much it will probably break. You have to get the goggles really tight or else there are gaps around the outside where light gets in and creates glare.

Yes. My daughter and I have been using them 2-4 times a week all summer and they work great. Makes the lap swimming go by much faster.

I don't see why not. However, you would have to wear the filter 'up'. If that is not a problem for you, then I think they would be okay to wear. Also, you must make sure the chemicals you are working with will be compatible with the materials used to make the goggles.

They have yet to be submerged. I have them on and around the water, and the thick wet woods. The coating gives good grip and no fogging. Sooooo A+ so far

I have not had trouble with them on bad weather days, but I did not let them get wet either. The Action Extremes have more eye relief so water vapor from your eye does not fog the outside of the cold eyepiece. You breath can fog it too if you are wearing a ski mask.

Strap broke on mine too. The first time I used them actually. I would contact company about replacement strap. I personally did not like the goggles. They were too big for my eyes and did not keep water out well. Leave deep impression marks around eyes. Hopefully you can get a replacement strap or goggles from company who makes goggles.

Be careful with Oakley, they are the only goggles that cannot be touched or cleaned with water. Would not recommend.
