Can the Kaiman goggle hold up in swim meet competition such as dive starts without leaking?

These goggles are great for competitive swimmers. They have a very soft silicone seal. They should not leak if they fit correctly. It's difficult to say they would not leak or to guarantee it because fit is a very personal thing.

Yes, I feel these goggles can. The eye cups have good suction and are comfortable too.

This is a guess...size of the goggle(s) so it covers the eye(s) without leaking. If it's too big then a seal won't be created to keep the water out. The strap is long and adjustable so that covers head size.

I've read other reviews claiming that the strap broke for them as well. (It seemed the strap was made of very nice, soft rubber, so it's a shame!) I would suggest contacting the seller/producer. I returned my pair of Ispeed goggles, since they leaked and visibility under water was blurred. I replaced them with a Speedo Air Seal XR, which seems much better aligned to my narrow face. The best fit I've got so far, however, is from a Speedo Vanquisher 2.0.

Should have a good fit. Don't stand up well to saline swimming pool...start to cloud after 6-8 months of daily use. But the best goggles for comfort ever.

I have not had any problems with leaks yet. The quick release is pretty good quality, and both it and the bite valve create a good seal.

My problem with these goggles is the leaking. Your issue can probably be corrected by rinsing the lenses with soap and warm water. Good luck!

I usually just dip the whole goggle underwater, then shake the water off, lens will be decent enough, no misty. Good luck.

I am not quite sure if the goggles are up to the impact safety standards required. They may be ok but you might want to check with the paintball host company before hand.

Yes, but you have to push it down a bit to snug it up. I haven't had a problem with mine leaking once I do that.

I feel its durable enough to submerge underwater and do whatever you want to do under water just be mindful of any plastic that's in front of their lenses to be sure its smooth and it would probably come out fine.

All goggles leak from my experience...the only question is when. Or the lenses get all gooey and filmy and therefore are worthless. So there is a dance between which will fail first. I swim everyday so goggles last me only a month or so. The larger aqua sphere goggles leak the fastest as they have more rubber surface to potentially get exposed to the elements and deteriorate. The smaller goggles, as these are are comparable to Speedos and TYRs

If it properly fits you, no mask is going to leak. Diving masks tend to be of slightly higher quality because they are meant for scuba diving. That said, make sure you get the appropriate mask for you. A good test is to put the mask over your face without the strap, then inhale through your nose and hold. If it sticks without having to pull in more air then it'll be fine. Personally - I loved this mask.

Hi TJ, I've worn it while swimming and it still works. Not deep sea diving or anything, just in a pool swimming in a sportive way. Also I've been wearing it in the shower for 9 months now. I do avoid pushing the button when in the water, no idea if that's necessary, but that's just what I've been doing. Hope that helps..

I would avoid this. I had to return ours as the mask always leaked for both myself and my daughter. I think they are simply too small and cheaply made. Worth the time to go to a dive shop and fit a good mask.

This filter unlike the others wont pop off under water. I had a cheaper one and it wouldn't stay on. It also has a better color when diving under water. I don't use it for snorkeling but when diving you will need it. It is definitely worth the price

I don't know . I use those for my swim goggles only . I noticed however that my goggles will get foggy ( despite the Artificial spit) if i will shower with hot water before entering the pool ( simulating the body heat scenario). It is a good idea - I may try it in the winter.

This mask doesn't leak when used for snorkeling but it isn't designed for lap swimming. I don't know how it would hold up to that since you'd be moving through the water much faster than a snorkeler. I'd think the drag of the water on the mask would be an issue.
