The Predator flex 2.0 is the most recent upgrade to the classic Predator flex. The extended nose bridge allows the flex point to be more secure and durable. The t-groove feature on the temple flex point allows for a more forgiving flex. The new and improved gaskets relieve more pressure around the eye, allowing for a more comfortable fit. All goggles come with the best anti-fog treatment and UVA/UVB protection.

Great fit, improvement over original version
I'm a fan of these goggles and the original version, which has now been discontinued. It does appear that Zoggs improved the construction of the nose bridge in particular, which failed on me on the original version of these goggles. As I described in my review for the original version, I prefer to use bungee cord straps (like the Sporti brand ones), so I swapped out the straps on the Predator Flex 2.0 as well. Bungee straps allow much more control over how tightly the goggles fit and keep the straps out of the way at the back of your head. With the stock straps, I have to keep tightening them because they loosen too much for my liking, and I find the stray ends flopping off both sides of my head annoying. DISCLAIMER: if you decide to follow suit and swap out the stock straps for bungee cord straps, make sure to snip the thick ends off the stock straps before removing them. Otherwise, you'll run the risk of breaking off a plastic piece in the strap connector mechanism when you pull the straps out, and it will render your new goggles useless. Speaking from experience. Also note that it can be a challenge threading the bungee cord straps through the mechanism--I use a paper clip or safety pin to help push and pull the straps through.In case it's of interest to anyone, the 2.0 version is sized like the L/XL size of the original Predator Flexes. Apparently not enough people (excepting myself) were buying the S/M size, so now the 2.0 just comes in a single size. This is information straight from the manufacturer. I was concerned the 2.0s wouldn't fit me as well, but they seem to be working just fine and without any leaks. I think these are the most comfortable, leak-proof goggles I've found, and I've tried many over the course of my life swimming competitively, playing water polo, and competing in triathlons. My eyes may be a bit closer together than other people's, so that could be why Zoggs fit me better while some other reviewers aren't as satisfied. I've tried all the AquaSphere goggles and although they felt comfortable and snug when I first tried them on, I could never get them to stay put or stop leaking when actually swimming with them.

I have a box of goggles that don’t work for me - different models of Speedo, Tyr, Aqua Sphere, etc. The original Predator Flex have worked best, but the 2.0s are improved enough that I’m switching all of my old ones. Take my money Zoggs. 😑I break goggle seals with facial expressions like these: 😖😫😳. Several brands/models work if I freeze my face, but I inevitably will forget. The originals were good for me, but still had to be mindful. With the 2.0, it’s been no issue.I see 1 star review, “do not buy” recommendations. Makes sense if they don’t work for you, but they can be Goldilocks goggles for someone else with a different face shape.

Comfortable, but fogs up really bad
These goggles are comfortable, but they fog up really fast, and quite a bit. My 20-dollar Speedos are stiffer, but don't fog up. I wrote to the company complaining about it and saying the product was defective. Their answer: “goggles fogging up is not considered a defect.” However, their website advertises, “the best anti-fog treatment in the world” that is “part of the material of the lenses.” All this is just marketing BS.Interestingly, one of the defogging tips they suggest is a very old swimmers’ trick: saliva. I've been doing this for almost as long as I've been swimming (as probably most swimmers). However, when you open the goggles case, there's a piece of paper that says, among other care recommendations, “Never spit on the lenses.” They also suggest me buying their antifog cleaner as a solution! It's hard to respect a company after all that...

Do not buy these!!!
I swim around 3000 meters 4 times a week and these are the most uncomfortable goggle I've ever worn! They're meant to be L/XL size, but the nose piece is so narrow that the cups which are meant to be around your eyes actually sit on your nose and it is impossible to create a prefect seal. Even though, I thought I'd give them a try. But no no no, leakage is always there and after 5 minutes, because of the pressure I had to apply to keep the leakage to a minimum, my head started hurting after 5 minutes my eyes were burning from all the water leaking in, and they also started fogging up almost immediately. Useless Googles! Do not buy!!!

Inferior product to Predator 1.0
Ok, this review is for the new predator flex 2.0 and not for the original predator flex which were my go to goggles which I used for swimming the English Channel and had no discomfort for 19 hours.Predator flex 2.0 are so uncomfortable and I have visible marks on top of my bridge after one hour of swimming. On top of that they leak. There is no way to adjust the fit. I am so disappointed in this and will now have to spend time, money and effort trying to find an alternative product.This should be used as an example in business schools how poor testing can lead to a failure of a great product.

Like Having Lego Strapped to my Face
The previous version of these goggles where the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, they got ripped of my face in the sea, never to be seen again. I saw a lot of people had reviewed them with a low rating, but because of my previous experience with Zoggs goggles, I ignored them. Unfortunately they were correct. I don't know what the hell they've done to them, but I wish they hadn't.

Takes some getting used to
As many have said, these are nowhere near as comfortable as the old version when you first put them on; infant they bloody hurt. However, if you persevere with them, loosen a lot and basically wear them in, they become absolutely fine. But yes, they are absolutely horrible to start with - took about 6 swims before they were okay.

Not how Zoggs Predator Flex used to be
I bought the polarised lenses, these goggles hurt so much they were impossible to wear. I have used Predator flex for around 6 years and they have always been amazing, this pair cut into my nose and the rubber around the eye was so hard/stiff giving me huge welts on my upper nose. So disappointed at Zoggs, what a waste of money

Great Google's
Exactly what is written on description, comes with nice bag. Just one thing I wish I would chose the ones with fit for females got to put them too tight and it leaves quite big marks on my face . Otherwise great gogles

Leaky from new
Strange that these are an upgraded model yet they leaky terribly. I bought these for my girlfriend and she gave them back to me after one use because they leaked. She said they mustn't be suited to her face. Took me a while to get round to trying them (since my Flex 1s were fine) to find I have the same problem. Had entered an event and thought I'd have to retire after 50 metres because the right side kept filling up with water. Tried refitting half a dozen times. So worn only twice. Poor.
