Master 2638 | Subject: RE: Goggles anyone? Goggles are very personal items. You have to get the ones that fit your face (versus the ones that fit someone else). Your best bet is to go to a swim store and try all of their goggles on and see which ones fit your face (stay on without the straps) the best. That said, I like the Speedo Hydroseals and the Aquasphere masks. |

Member 313 Ventura County, California | Subject: Beer Goggles anyone? Checkout the Aqua Sphere Kayenne. I just bought a pair, you can see my review in the review section. Great goggles with lot's of range of vision both side-to-side and ahead. From pics, I thought they might look a little big and goofy, but in reality they are really cool looking. Not too big at all and they have a kind-of Oakley look. The seal is the best I have ever had, adjustment is as easy as it gets (push-button). The Anti-Fog works. |

| Subject: RE: Goggles anyone? Since you want specific ones, Speedo Sengars. The only ones I will wear (until they, god forbid,stop making them) - for pool and OW |

| Veteran 117 Milw, WI | Subject: RE: Goggles anyone? Sam's club carried a two pack of goggles made by Speedo and they've been the best ones I've used. I couldn't recall the model or anything, but they were the only goggles that Sam's club carries...it's not a very good tri store.  Having said that, it may take a few different kinds to find the right ones. |

| Member 5 Durham | Subject: RE: Goggles anyone? I went to the store and tried on every pair of goggles to see which ones fit the most comfortable. It makes a big difference to me.... hence i wear these pinkish TYR women's ones. got to go with function over looks on that one. |

I like the softer seal area that doesn't feel like it is digging into your face. I think it is more flexible too and that allows it to seal better. Greg |

| Regular 100 Denver | Subject: RE: Goggles anyone? Aquagoggles because they were cheap and prescription. They fit pretty well, although the nose piece digs in after a while. http://aquagoggles.com/v2goggle_detail.htm |

| Member 27 | Subject: RE: Goggles anyone? Speedo Vanquishers or Vanquisher JR's. They come with a little package with several nose pieces so that you can change them out and get the one to fit your face. |

| Master 2158 | Subject: RE: Goggles anyone? I have a big head and had trouble with most of the speedos I tried. I now have a pair of aquasphere kaimen and tyr nest pro's. Love the aquaspheres, and the nest pro's are OK too. Still a little small, but great fit. |

| Champion 5781 Northridge, California | Subject: RE: Goggles anyone? Barracuda Triton. I've tried several other brands and these have been far and away the best...I use them in the pool and OW. Great field of vision and the seal hasn't lost any elasticity at all over time. |

Bought some of these....they fit great....seem to fog a bit. Spit works for about ten minutes, but if it's warm out, I might try finding a good anti-fog liquid. |

I have anti-fog spray (TYR) that I use on my speedo goggles but have never tried them with the Aquasphere as have not had any issues with fogging in either OWS or pool. They range of vision in OWS is fantastic. |
