MDR 2.4 Polarized Goggle - Elastomeric

Years ago, when Sports Authority still existed, I spent a great deal of time in the store trying on every goggle available, looking for the best fit. That is when I discovered the MDR 2.4 goggles; they suctioned around my eyes with no effort. After making the purchase and trying them out, the no-leak fit was just as anticipated. As the years went on, I needed to replace them, which I did several years ago in late 2018; the fit wasn't quite exactly like my previous one, but it was still good and no leaks. The internal plastic nosepiece (covered with rubber) eventually broke (in 2021), but the rubber that helped keep the eye-parts connected was still holding. I needed to get another MDR 2.4 replacement soon; but, after searching for months, I could no longer find them. I started trying different models, but they all leaked; none of them were as 100% leak-free as the MDR 2.4's. To my astonishment, Speedo sent out a promotional email, advertising free MDR 2.4 goggles with a minimum purchase - I was completely shocked, being that previous searches and customer service inquiries indicated they were extinct. Needless to say, I placed a purchase for several of these goggles, hoping to last me for many years to come, fearing the MDR 2.4's would never be manufactured again. After placing 3 different orders, waiting for months on each order, each order would eventually get canceled and never be fulfilled. I contacted customer service, who eventually discovered something wrong in their system that was preventing the orders from getting filled, fixed it, and I finally received the goggles! These are my third MDR 2.4 goggles, slightly different from the previous, and slightly different from the goggles before that. The suction around my eyes is now nearly leak-free, with just a slight bit of water getting in after swimming a non-stop mile; I can deal with that, especially compared to other models that leaked terribly. One reason may be how they manufacture the nosepiece now; it doesn't have enough of a molded bend over my nose like previous MDR 2.4's did. Sadly, customer service informed me there was no way to adjust it. So now, these latest MDR 2.4 goggles, although they are not as perfect as previous versions, still work good enough and are still a much better fit than the many others I tried to replace them with when I thought the MDR 2.4's were no longer being manufactured.

Fix the strap!

Really comfortable and great fit.
