Corrective Lens Goggles?

My $0.02 - I've had 5 different brand of corrective goggles. Aquagoggles (www.aquagoggles.com) and View goggles are both good, can be ordered with a different lens power for each eye without a price penalty. They are both UV protective (if you swim outside at all). The View goggles will probably irritate your nose if you have a large nose/ nose bridge. The Aquagoggles have Silicone gaskets/headstraps and the View are of some weird plastic that don't last as long. The View goggles have a wider field of vision. The Aquagoggle's only drawback is that the connection of the goggle to the strap is a bit more fragile than most. Of these two, I prefer the Aquagoggles and use them for both training and open water racing. Kiefer and Speedo make goggles, but aren't UV protective and you have to buy 2 pair to mix & match lens powers. The Kiefers have a silicone gasket/headstrap and Speedo has a foam gasket. Of these two, I much prefer the Kiefers - they are nearly indestructible. I HATE, HATE, HATE Barracuda goggles. They are the invention of Satan. Don't buy them unless you have already used them and know that you can get the rotten things to work without leaking in some finite amount of time. I had a custom pair made for $130+ and could never get the miserable things to not leak no matter how much I fiddled with them. They ruined my first race (an open water 2 mile) and I got an eye infection as a result of them leaking. Two thumbs way down. -LBJ
