Every time I dive in for a race, my goggles fall off or leak. I have tried many different types of goggles. Any suggestions to alleviate this issue. I have a race in four weeks and don't want this to distract from my swim.:blah:
All these people recommending specific goggles perplexes me. Everyone's faces are shaped differently. It stands to reason that goggles with different contours will fit differently. My recommendation is that you go into a shop with a fairly wide selection (I happen to live near a Kiefer store) and see what fits. If they fit you well, I think they should pretty much "stick" with just light external pressure - no straps. Of course, they won't stay on your face long without the straps, but if you can't get a decent seal in the store without a strap, I'd move onto another style. Once you find something that fits at that level, then sure, all the other tricks come into play.
Agree 100%! :agree: I have a very narrow face and had to try on literally dozens of pairs of goggles at a few different stores before I finally found one to fit: Tyr Women's T-72 Petite. I was so happy to find one that finally worked that I ended up buying up a few extra pairs. I keep one just for meets (adjusted tighter) and keep the others in their packages until I completely wear out a pair.
Good luck with your hunt, SuperChloe; been there, done that!
