Review of the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0. Are they the best goggles for swimming?
Greetings, swimmers! Before the quarantine era, we delved into a multitude of goggle reviews and giveaways. Now, to conclude this series, we shine the spotlight on the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0. In many ways, these goggles could be considered the crowning jewel of our exploration. In this video, we’ll dissect the general visibility, assess the fit, discuss any leakage concerns, and provide an overall verdict on whether the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 claims the throne as the best swimming goggles.
Technical Specs and Customization Options
The Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 weighs a modest 1.2 ounces, aligning with the average weight of goggles in our testing. With a visibility height of 28 millimeters and width of 37 millimeters, it offers a balanced perspective. The goggles boast a depth of 11 millimeters and provide four nose bridge options for customizable comfort. While they are priced at $28 on Speedo’s official site, you can often find them for a more budget-friendly cost on platforms like Amazon, where I’ll provide various options. Notably, they come in both women’s and men’s versions, offering mirrored options for $22 and non-mirrored options for $19. Additionally, prescription options are available at reasonable prices, accommodating those in need without breaking the bank.
Visibility Excellence: A Swimmer’s Perspective
In terms of visibility, the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 excels. During my last swim with these goggles, I effortlessly maintained focus on my surroundings, even during a short workout with my kids. The inner iFit design, resting below the bony brow of the eye socket, enhances the goggle’s competitive appeal. This style, favored by many elite swimmers, provides a lower profile, streamlined feel, and while it may not match the visibility of larger goggles or masks, it proves more than sufficient for everyday training, racing, or open water swimming.
Fit and Leak-Free Experience
Fit is where the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 truly shines. I encountered zero issues with the fit and experienced no leaks. The inner eye style not only enhances the streamlined feel but also contributes to a snug fit, minimizing the chances of water seepage. This makes them an excellent choice for swimmers seeking both comfort and performance.
A Cost-Effective Contender
Labeling the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 as the absolute best swimming goggle might be subjective, considering the plethora of options available. However, it undeniably stands out as a very good option. Striking a balance between a secure fit and an affordable price point, these goggles hit the sweet spot. In fact, they rank among the most budget-friendly goggles in this series, making them an accessible choice for all swimmers.
