Swedish goggles are a popular type of swimming goggles worn by many competitive swimmers. The most notable feature of these goggles is their low price, usually around $4.00 or less,[citation needed] and lack of a gasket or seal around the eye cup, as found on more traditional goggles. They come in various colors including blue, green, red, amber, and pink. Many companies also manufacture metallic or mirrored Swedish goggles, although these usually cost more than the regular versions (up to $11.00).[citation needed]
Also common among Swedish goggles, is that they are purchased unassembled, giving users extreme flexibility in design and fit. Usually, each goggle set comes with two eye cups, one long (around 36") latex rubber strip (long enough to be a double head strap), and one piece of string and plastic or rubber tubing for a nose piece.
There are many variations in goggle assembly, i.e. some people choose to use only a single head strap, some choose to cut a small piece of latex from the head strap and use that instead of the string nose piece.
