Swim Bike Run

If you are looking for a pair of positive pressure swimming goggles, consider the Barracuda B300 goggles, which are part of the Barracuda line. This concept makes use of a closed cell foam in order to seal against your skin without requiring suction, and what this means is that as a result you have a much, much more comfortable goggle. When you are training for a triathlon, having goggles that are comfortable without putting pressure on your face is vitally important.

Although many triathletes prefer swim mask types of goggles because they offer an increase in peripheral vision, the Barracuda brand claims that the Barracuda B300 Goggles are very popular among triathlon swimmers, and this is a claim that has been backed up by reviews. As far as swimming goggles go, the Barracuda B300 Goggles are really comfortable and they offer an outstanding quality with optics that are unsurpassed. They also come with the perfect screwdriver for adjusting the tiny screws that adjust the nose bridge width, and this is a classy touch because tiny details like this really matter.

The eyepieces of the Barracuda B300 Goggles are large and foam, and you need to get them wet so that they will seal right up against your skin. If they are not made wet first, then the Barracuda B300 Goggles will leak, and this is not a good thing when you are racing in a triathlon. It’s also important to know that while those pieces of foam are comfortable and capable of providing a good seal, they unfortunately put some limitations on your ability to see peripherally, which can cost you in a serious race.

The head straps that come with the Barracuda B300 Goggles are long and both ends come out of the same side rather than being able to adjust independently. Unfortunately, this means that you can end up with too much of the strap sticking out, and you may have to tuck it in, which can be a bother. The easy solution is to cut the excess off if you are not going to end up needing it at some point. Having a flapping piece of head strap while you’re swimming is a pain, so deal with it before you train.

The Barracuda B300 Goggles definitely offer decent performance and high quality. They are decently attractive for what they are, and they are a good value for what they offer. If you depend on your peripheral vision, they will be limiting. If you prefer waterproof vision while swimming and don’t mind a bit of a sacrifice, then the Barracuda B300 Goggles are definitely an option worth considering, especially when you consider that they are a value. You may want to use them for training but not for the actual race, but ultimately it is up to you to decide. They retail for about $28, which is a solid price for decent goggles.
