If you have used the same pair of goggles for a long time (maybe even years), what eventually makes you dump it and get a new pair (could be the same model)? I have a pair that I expected to last at least a year, but the lenses have had so many scratches after just 3 months that I can't even see clearly. I can't think of how it got scratched except I always wiped it with tissues after swimming (it's kept in a plastic case). It's not dirt but clearly scratches. In the past I was done with a pair only when it started leaking. I'm curious if blurred lenses due to scratches are common?
(The poll question is:
"I use the same goggles that work for me for as long as I can until"
--for some reason the "until" didn't appear)
I also use swedes and I *just* discovered the wonders of the bungee strap. The white strap broke recently on a pair of mine, but luckily it came with a bungee as well (Sporti brand) so I gave it a whirl and I'm impressed! Now I want to buy all the different colored bungees and mix n match lol. If only the lenses came in more colors too. Heck, even the nose piece should come in more colors! If one could competely customize the colors of the strap, lens, and nosepiece on a pair of swedes you'd think they'd sell like hotcakes.
I also chose "other" for the poll because when the strap on my swedes did break, I would just replace it. And if my nose string piece broke I'd just replace that too (I've found that dental floss makes a good replacement). Otherwise I just change them up when I'm bored, or need to use mirrored ones for outdoor swims. Swedes FTW! I think they'd survive the apocalypse along with cockroaches and twinkies.
