TYR 2.0 Ultralite Snorkel

Todo está bien, había leído comentarios donde dice que fue difícil insertar la parte que apoya la frente dentro de la tuba, pero en mi caso entro suavemente. Trae dos dosificadores para mayor o menor flujo de aire y el tamaño es perfecto para niños.

I first got the FINIS Original swim snorkel and had accidentally ordered the Junior size. Was a happy accident, as the mouthpiece and headstrap was the perfect size. I was going to get the adult size and save the Junior as a backup, but then read the difference between the Junior and the adult size was just a slightly smaller tube and smaller mouthpiece on the junior, and that many women preferred the Junior version. I was doing fine with that, but was having some issues with the slightly shorter tube, with sometimes getting water in through the top of the tube. I also found the forehead rest very hard and decided to look into alternative snorkels. The TYR 2.0 Ultralite had several strong reviews and one review mentioned the forehead rest more comfortable than the Finis. I have now had a few weeks of alternating between the two and would recommend both, but here is my overall impression:STURDINESS: The Finis has a feel of higher quality workmanship with a much more substantial strap that feels as if it will last longer than the thin straps of the TYR. On the other hand, the TYR is lighter weight and feels a bit less cumbersome.WATERTIGHT/PURGE VALVE: As someone with weak lung capacity thanks to severe asthma, I find the purge valve on the TYR much easier to use and always effective, while I frequently have to wait until the end of a lap and remove the mouthpiece to empty water on the FINIS. In addition, I rarely get any water leaking in with the TYR, while the Finis would need purging every 10 minutes or so. This could be more an issue of having the junior model with the shorter tube, but most of the time it feels as if the water creeped in around the mouthpiece.COMFORT: Neither has a comfortable forehead piece. I am trying to find a way to add a neoprene sculpted pad to both to see if that helps, but for now been folding over the front of my swim cap in the front to offer a little more padding. It is a little easier to move the brace holding the straps to the tube on the TYR, though neither is that easy to adjust while wearing. The TYR straps are thinner (more like standard swimming googles) while the Finis are wider and more sculpted, giving a more secure feeling. However, as I wear a Delphin MP3 player on my googles strap, I find the TYR narrow straps easier to work around. The mouthpiece on the FINIS is far more comfortable, as it is angled in at a slight angle and easier to "get a bite". The TYR is just fine, and as I mentioned before, I seem to have less leaking with the TYR, maybe because I have to clench a bit more to hold it in place.EASE OF USE: Both the Finis and the TYR do what I need them to do - allow me to swim an hour of freestyle without moving my head, as I have a prior neck injury that makes turning to breath painful. The Finis is easier to take on and off, and can be pushed to the side easier for sipping from a water bottle. However, I would the TYR is just as easy to use once one. The TYR strap has a clip for easy size adjustment, but I found that no easier than the adjustment strap for the Finis.OTHER NOTES:Attachments - The Finis has the option to buy a tube attachment that prevents water from coming into the tube from the top, making it easy to use on turns. However, I read multiple reviews that the feature makes it more prone to growing bacteria. I cannot say that is true or not, just something to considers. The Finis also has optional caps to purchase to decrease airflow, to help with endurance training. The TYR comes with two airflow caps (no need to purchase separately), but I have no interest in trying these, as being asthmatic makes breathing hard enough already.Color - my Finis is a bright yellow while the TYR is black. I feared the black tube would be distracting in my visual field, but they are both so close to the face that you really do not see them unless you are intentionally looking cross-eyed to see them.Price - at the time of purchase, these were just a dollar different in price, but when I checked swim outlet.com the TYR was much pricier.Strap Length and Head Size - I have a pretty standard head size and most ladies' hats fit me without adjustment. That being said, I have the TYR at close to its maximum length on the strap, while the Finis has much more room to grow. I would suggest someone with a large head would probably get a better fit with the Finis.Stability - I am a slow swimmer. After decades of staying out of the pool, I am only about two years back into swimming and only started lap swimming freestyle this year. There is no way I am pushing hard through the water, so I cannot really speak to how well the snorkels stay in place for a strong swimmer. I feel a very minimal "wiggle" with the TYR and absolutely none with the Finis. More than one site that reviewed the TYR mentioned the wiggle is less likely to occur if using proper swimming form. So, yeah, as I mentioned I am a beginner, so no surprise I get a little wiggle.General Impression: In the best of all worlds I would take the mouthpiece from the Finis, stick it on the TYR and then bend the TRY just a teeny bit to angle it better towards the chin. Well, that won't happen. For now, I am mostly swimming with the TRY because of the superior leak control and easier purge valve. But if it broke I would have no problem going back to the Finis and not replacing the TYR.

Its an expensive product , Im buying snorkel for the first time , Its really good though.

Llegó al siguiente día en perfectas condiciones, tal cual la descripción.Lo probaré el fin de semana.

This is the fifth swimmers snorkel I've owned. I love that the mothpiece is very soft and malleable. Most leakage is user error in my opinion. This snorkel has very little room for error. The intermediate and advanced air restrictors are very helpful. I've used it for 1 week. So far it seems very durable. Easy to clean. If you are new to snorkels I'd recommend you start with "zionor". They have the comfiest forehead cushion.

Allowed water in while in use

Works great but make sure that you also buy nose plugs. I did not realize that my body will want to breath through my nose when I am using the snorkel. I can use it without the nose plugs, but it's difficult. I am a lap swimmer.

After a month of daily use, the valve failed and my 11yr old took in water at practice. Works well otherwise, just didn’t trust it to repurchase. Switched to Arena and had a better experience.

My son quickly adapted to this new snorkel. As a swimmer having this snorkel helps improve his stroke. It as also great on our tripto Hawaii where he swam with turtles and loved keeping his head in the water.

One of the best snorkels for training, fits perfectly in head and easy to use

Well here’s the review: Although slightly pricey it has a comfortable headpiece and mouthpiece. Head strap doesn’t dig into your forehead- no sharp edges to irritate. The silicone is very comfortable and the mouth piece is easily removed for cleaning. The strap is sturdy and the adjustments are easily made and there is a nice strap locking/ unlocking feature. It’s easy to get perfect alignment. The purge valve works perfectly, but that is something that will be tested over time. But, by far, my favorite feature is the blue cardio cap (the most restricted breathing) because it really makes you work the diaphragm when sculling or whatever drill you do. I give it 👍👍👍👍👍

Great snorkel, I’m a freediver and this helps me massively with my pool drills and let’s me focus purely on stroke technique whilst keeping super streamlined

Validissimo boccaglio della tyr, molto utile per gli allenamenti di tecnica e resistenza. Rigido nella zona del boccaglio non risente di eventuali resistenza, arriva con una sacca a rete per trasportarlo. All'interno si trovano anche dei tappi da porre all'estremità per diminuire eventualmente l'aria che viene inspirata. Valido prodotto, sicuramente duraturo.
