Modeled after the no-frills, plastic Swedish goggles popular among competitive swimmers, the minimalist Sidewinder does away with the eye-socket cushioning typical of other goggles for a leaner look that also reduces a swimmer's drag in the water. It comes with five interchangeable nose pieces, so swimmers can choose the most comfortable, leak-free fit.
