While many swimmers prefer smaller goggles that sit inside the eye socket, others want bigger goggles for comfort and because they leave less of a mark. For those of us of a certain age, the imprint swim goggles leave around the eyes stays visible long after we’ve gotten out of the pool. The solution many have found, including this editor, are swim masks, the oversized goggles that have traditionally been for open water swimming.

Made for triathlon training and competition, these sleek swim masks feature a low profile design that eliminates drag. We demoed swim masks from TYR, Aquasphere, and Arena, and the wider design offers an extended field of vision, distortion free, which is just as nice in the pool as it is in open water. The soft silicone skirt that frame the orbital socket seal out water and are ultra-comfortable too.

Whether you’re lap swimming or Ironman training, these sleek swim masks are great alternative to oversized goggles. All are available in multiple lens tints and frame colors — and best of all, they don’t leave a mark!
