Masters swimmers are apparently weird about fogging. :blush: You&amp;#39;d think it was a sideache or leg cramp that won&amp;#39;t go away .

All of the above. Recently I discovered the awesomeness of baby shampoo. It&amp;#39;s been great on my 14 year old Swedes.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Sporti goggles any good?</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/169090?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Sep 2011 10:46:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:e5aaf285-9751-4eb4-8d6b-f1baab76fcc0</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>guy that I swim with has sea drops.  Technically used for scuba masks but do work great for goggles even though it says they&amp;#39;re not for that use.  The thing is you have to wipe them clean after rubbing the solution in for a few sec otherwise if there is enough left over it can cause eye irritation.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Sporti goggles any good?</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/168983?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Aug 2011 16:18:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:8e04b4ce-f5e4-4330-a69d-825daabdcbbe</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>I have had my swedes for 10 years now, they&amp;#39;ve &amp;quot;fogged&amp;quot; for 10 years, and I treat them like a beater car for 10 years.

These are as basic a goggle as you can buy, even for swedes. They came with a nice bungee and fit well.  No complaints at all.

I find they seal well on my face - but that&amp;#39;s all your pumpkin&amp;#39;s shape and how the goggles fit your eye socket.

Their prescription goggles work well for me.  I can see the time clock to pull splits.  I use the Tyr anti-fog in them.  I spray them every morning on the way out the door and let them dry on the dash of the car on the way to the pool.  I pull 3500 yards and never lift them off of my face.  I just wish I didn&amp;#39;t have to spray them every day!

I have both.  I prefer the swedes to the sporti&amp;#39;s - they just seem to fit better.  They fog the same.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Sporti goggles any good?</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/168878?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 25 Aug 2011 07:17:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:7b3cbebc-b756-460b-83e6-80266d420b96</guid><dc:creator>Patrick W. Brundage</dc:creator><description>Goggles are the most personal choice you&amp;#39;ll probably make in swimming.  I got a pair of sportis free with something I ordered on swimoutlet and they seem fine enough for training.  As for fogging, there&amp;#39;s no reason any pair of goggles should fog: just follow the simple remedy of soaking them periodically (every 2-3 weeks overnight) in a mixture of water + baby shampoo.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Sporti goggles any good?</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/168747?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:43:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:4a3466ee-ab61-4df2-91ae-7d87c47575b2</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>I think I&amp;#39;ll go with swedish brand, since it&amp;#39;s only a dollar difference.

I had the same experience with the Sporti version of the Vanquisher.  I also found that the lenses scratched more easily and the goggles themselves developed leaks sooner.  You may not have that issue with the Swedes, though.  They&amp;#39;re so cheap that they&amp;#39;re worth a try.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Sporti goggles any good?</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/168662?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Aug 2011 07:20:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:ec1f9409-94c7-4c1f-934d-e89b47eaaa92</guid><dc:creator>swimshark</dc:creator><description>I bought the Sporti version of the Vanquisher about a year ago.
