TYR Black Ops 140 EV Racing Goggles

While designed primarily for competitive pool racing, the 140-degree peripheral vision and UVA/UVB protection make them a capable choice for open water training as well. However, keep in mind that their low-profile design is optimized for speed rather than the extended comfort often preferred for long-distance open water swims.

The Black Ops 140 EV includes four interchangeable nose bridge sizes, which is the primary way to customize the fit to your specific facial structure. By swapping these out, you can adjust the distance between the lenses to ensure the silicone gaskets sit securely against your eye sockets without pinching or leaking.

Yes, to preserve the anti-fog coating, avoid touching or wiping the inside of the lenses with your fingers or a towel. After each swim, simply rinse them with fresh water and let them air dry completely before storing them in a protective case.

These goggles are specifically designed for adults and swimmers aged 16 and older. The fit and gasket size are engineered for adult facial anatomy, so they may not provide a proper seal for younger or smaller faces.

Like most competitive racing goggles, these use a tighter, low-profile seal to prevent drag, which can leave temporary marks after a long session. However, the DURAFIT silicone is designed to be comfortable enough for high-intensity training without causing excessive pressure.
