R2 Goggle

ROKA Nailed It!

I’ve been a fan of the R1 for years! As an Ironman athlete, I’ve benefited from the sleek design and ease of sighting, but comfort and durability were a downside. The R2 combines all of what I liked about the R1 and added comfort and replaceable nose pieces that are not only more durable, but allow for a better fit. I have no excuses now.

R2 Goggle

I bought a clear pair for the pool and the spark mirror for open water racing. Both were outstanding in comfort, lens quality with no misting and the vision of the lense, especially in open water.

Comfortable and improved sighting

My five-year-old Roka R1s nose bridge broke at my last club open water swim - otherwise they were still perfect - so I decided to give the R2s a try due to the swappable nose bridge. The R1s were comfortable most of the time, although they set a little too wide due to the fixed nose bridge, so if I got the placement wrong they would leave a bruise below my eyebrows. The R2 is beyond comfortable, and the slight change in the viewing angle is noticeable. As a 55+ swimmer now, I was thrilled not to have visible goggle marks when I left the lake. They seem like overkill for the lap pool, but I may end up getting an untinted second pair for that purpose.
