"type" is the subject, not goggles, you dumbass.

DOES "THESE TYPE" MAKE ANY SENSE TO YOU?

No, just "goggles."

It's still singular.

The descriptive noun is necessary, thus why "type of goggles" or "pair of goggles" is both correct and singular.

For some reason, no. I don't know why it doesn't work that way. Go kill someone for making "these goggles" correct-er.
