THEMAGIC5 - do they live up to the hype?

I swim a lot, obviously, it’s my job. Like everyone else I hate it when my goggles leak so I looked online for ‘better fitting goggles’. I ended up at Magic 5.

What makes Magic 5 special is they are custom 3D-printed to fit your face. Yup, you scan your face with an app and they make the google sockets to fit your face. Your custom goggles get posted to you and a few weeks later they arrive on your doorstep ready for your next swim. Magic!

I chose the Black Magic Mirror Silver goggles to combat that morning glare at sunrise but in hindsight not the best allround choice for me as the lens is too dark when looking underwater and not the best on those overcast or early mornings. My next pair will be clear so then I have a choice between them depending on light and activity.

Pros:

• Very comfy
• No need to adjust them
• No leaking 
• No big rings around my eyes after my swim, the eye piece is custom to your face
• They come with multiple nose bridge clips so you can swap them out if the nose isn't quite right
• They come in a hard case so they are protected when you pop them in your bag or in the car
• Free shipping worldwide.

Cons

• Price - These aren’t the cheapest goggles on the market but they are not the most expensive either. Considering I use them multiple times daily, they are an important piece of kit for my job
• Fogging, unfortunately there isn't a google manufacturer in the world that has mastered the fogging issue but they are better than most of my recent pairs from other brands

My personal review:  
I really liked the comfortable fit and for that reason I will buy them again. I got in touch with the retailer and they have provided me with a discount code for my swimmers. They kindly sent me a free pair to test out, hence the above review.
