So I have finally gone to Rx goggles yay for that! The Speedo Vanquisher fits my eye sockets so comfortably I'm in love, but none of the bridges sit high enough. I was going to live with it until the depression on my nose became a cut and someone noticed it was bleeding. Yay.
Any ideas on how to alleviate this? I have thought long and hard about how to build a little pad for it, but everything I try won't stay attached. I used to wear the Swedish goggle that had the little tubing thing wish I still had those thta might be a fix.
Thanks for any ideas
Hi vo2!
Sorry to hear about your nose.
I don't know if this may help. I have just repaired a friend's pair of goggles. She had some how pulled the nose-bridge's tab off. With no replacement nose bridge I cut some surplus off the head-strap, cut the end diagonally then threaded this through the holes. Luckily due to the thickness of her particular head-strap the new nose piece made from the head-strap stayed in place. it was probably not needed but I wrapped some black thread over the end (around the protruding part of the goggle where the hole is so it is away from any skin contact) which helped to secure it in place. This was a just over a week ago; only time will tell if it will eventually pull through.
Anyways my thoughts are that this silicone from the strap maybe less harsh than the nose bridge that damaged your skin?
I hope you manage to get it sorted one way or another.
