Classic Swim Goggles
No Frills
Why mess with a good thing? Classic goggles feature simple, traditional designs. They're made to keep water out, remain comfortable around the eyes, and stay in place. And they don't need a lot of frills or embellishments to work great. Classic goggles' straightforward design allows them to accomplish their intended purpose without much adjustment.
One-Piece Frame
Most classically styled goggles feature a one-piece frame. Unlike other goggles that require swimmers to fumble with loose, adjustable nosepieces, one-piece frames incorporate static nosepieces for a simpler fit. Swimmers are able to use these types of goggles and swim masks straight out of the packaging with little or no adjustment necessary. The one-piece frame also allows classic goggles to be extremely durable. Because there aren't a lot of moving parts, these traditionally styled goggles and masks have the ability to stand up to the tests of time better than other types of eyewear.
Comfortable Fit
Classic goggles and swim masks typically feature cushioned lenses or a silicone gasket. While more modern types of goggles forego the foam cushioning to increase streamline performance, traditional goggles incorporated softer gaskets to produce a more comfortable feel. Classic goggles can be worn for extended periods of time without the slightest discomfort. Fitness and endurance swimmers that can afford to choose less streamline frames enjoy the fit and feel of traditionally styled goggles. And because the frames can hold larger lenses, these goggles are especially great for recreational and open water swimmers who'd benefit from a wider, more panoramic view.
Economical Choice
Finally, one of the reasons that classical goggles and swim masks are still so popular to this day is because they are usually a highly economical choice. Great for recreational swimmers and occasional lap swimmers not looking to break the bank, classically styled goggles can fit into anyone's budget.
