The Women's Vanquisher is the only goggle I can wear without leaking. I tend to purchase about 4 pair at a time when they are on sale, so I may have had them for awhile before I wear them.
Here's the problem: For the third time in the last year or so, the coating has bubbled up on the first wearing, making them unusable. The first time it happened, I was at Nationals where a Speedo rep switched them out as flawed. It's not so convenient when you don't have a Speedo rep nearby.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how have you handled it?
Love the goggles, but hate throwing them away after one wearing!
Are you speaking of sealing the gasket to the goggles, or the goggles to your eyes?
I have an old pair of TYR goggles, not sure what model, and getting a good seal with them is not easy.
(Re: TYR Stealths) Gasket to lens seal is what I was speaking of. The gasket to skin seal on the other hand is spot-on perfect for me and rarely leaks.
The gasket itself seems to only have adhesive sealant along a couple of cm's around the bottom of the lens and can actually come off around the corners and top. You gave me an idea, I might apply some clear RTV on an old pair and see how it works
