Back in January of this year I received a pair of Kiefer Performer Swim Goggles, from Kiefer, to review. At the time I wrote up a little something about them.

I have used the pair they gave me for the whole year. The only thing I did was replace the strap, because I accidentally ran the goggles through the washer and dryer and destroyed the strap. I used a bungee cord type strap that worked fantastic.
Now that almost a year has gone by I wanted to comment on these goggles.
I used the goggles all year, both racing and training. Amazingly, I did not lose them. I have put about 250,000 yards on the goggles this season.
Also, they lasted the whole year without leaking, until about 2 weeks ago. About two weeks ago they started to leak a bit. Last week I ordered two more pair of the same goggles.
These goggles are great for the price, and just in general. They are 12 bucks a pair, about half the cost of the Speedo Air Seal Tri Mirror I had been wearing previously. The Speedo goggles would last about as long.
Goggles are a purely personal choice. Everyone has different size heads, different facial features, etc. that will affect how goggles fit. Sometimes it takes years to find goggles that work well for a person. If not years, then lots of money trying different goggles. Luckily, I kind of fell into these goggles.
So, if you are out looking for goggles, I would recommend giving these a try.
