Product Description


Amazon.com
Enjoy maximum visibility while swimming in outdoor pools with the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 mirrored goggles. Designed for competition swimmers with a serious need for speed, the Vanquisher 2.0 goggles feature a pearlescent mirrored filter in the lens, minimizing glare and improving visibility. Add in an expanded side view and you can easily keep an eye on the competition. The goggles are also watertight, with a rigid hard frame that creates a watertight seal and a low-profile fit that keeps the goggles close to the face. Other features include soft silicone lens gaskets, an anti-fog polycarbonate lens, an interchangeable nosepiece with four different sizes, and 95+ UV protection. PVC- and latex-free, the Vanquisher 2.0 goggles come in several pastel colors.
If you like our original Vanquisher Plus mirrored goggle, you will love this next generation Vanquisher 2.0 Plus with 25% more peripheral vision. It has the same soft silicone seal and a new two color double headstrap with ergonomic clip for super easy adjustability and a snug watertight fit. The ultra mirrored lens reduces any glare and the Anti Fog coating will allow clear vision. This is definitely one of Speedo's most popular goggles!

Customer Reviews


These goggles are hands-down the single most comfortable pair of goggles I have ever worn. They are soft, fit my eyes perfectly, never leave me with raccoon eyes, and are really comfortable. Not "not discomfortable", actually comfortable. They don't leak at all. They are really dynamite, I never even bother to take out my contacts when I swim with these.
They would be a perfect 5/5 stars, except that they fog so, so much, more than any other pair of goggles I have ever owned. They fog unbelieveably quickly, and refog very soon after rinsing. I bought three pairs. The first lasted not quite an hour (my normal swim length) before fogging up. In that time I had the clearest, best view I've ever experienced with any pair of goggles. But after that time, they would completely fog up by my second lap. I could rinse them and they would refog by the end of that lap. After three or four uses, I returned them to the store, exchanged them for a new set, and had exactly the same problem with the second pair starting with the second swim. I returned those, ordered a pair from Amazon, and had exactly the same problem on the very first use, so I infer that this is not a single bad batch but a common problem.
I swim in an outdoor, heated pool, but the air temperature can be anywhere from ~45/50 to ~75. I never touch the inside of my goggles, always rinse them before and after in fresh, nonchlorinated water, kept them in a case, follow all the good practices that are supposed to limit/delay fogging problems. I have been as good to these goggles as possible, and they still fog up. My cheaper, much less comfortable TYRs that I leave in my gym bag, which are scratched and sometimes leak a little, never fog, and so I have been using those more and more often. This is super frustrating, because they are so amazingly comfortable.

I've been a pair of the Vanquishers for a couple years now. I've previously owned the old version of the Vanquisher, but when I recently lost them, I decided to upgrade to the 2.0. These goggles have a very sleek design. I've been swimming competitively for a number of years (summer league, middle school and high school team), and the vanquishers have always been very reliable for me. They are very comfortable and have good suction so you don't have to worry about leaking or them flying off your head after a dive. Essentially, the vanquisher 2.0 is identical to the old model, except for superficial changes to the strap and, as advertised, 2.0 does have more peripheral vision...which I guess is cool... In the end however, I would recommend saving a few bucks and going with the old Vanquishers
