7. Storing the Barracudas in a swim bag jammed with towels ect can leave your towel marks on the sponge. Ideally the goggles should be stored in a box where they can not be mashed. But we all know how long the factory plastic box lasts! 

One thing I learned, which actually became the key to getting them adjusted properly, is to NOT use the plastic insert that is supposed to help the goggles keep their shape (as suggested in the instructions on the box). I would adjust the goggles and get them sealing properly against my face, but I found that the insert wasn&amp;#39;t quite the same size as my face and was forcing the foam out of shape after I worked so hard to get it adjusted. It was quite frustrating to follow the directions on the box, get them to fit perfectly, then have them leak uncontrollably the next day. 

Now I don&amp;#39;t put them in a box or bag at all, but carry them loose in my hand by the strap. Luckily my pool is right across the street from my office, so I don&amp;#39;t have far to walk with them dangling. If I had to store them, I would probably just put them in the plastic box without the stupid insert.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
