goggle manufacturers

Originally posted by MrEarl Try gently pressing (dry) goggles to your face. If they tend to stay put for a moment, they're probably a good fit. Then, by keeping the straps adjusted for moderate pressure, marks should be minimal, at worst. That works fine if you're just floating in a water aerobics class. But the first time you actually start moving through the water with any real vigor, you have to tighten the goggles, thus producing marks. Goggles that seal perfectly when still can leak when subjected to water current pressure from the sides or top, requiring them to be tightened. The Swedes avoid the marks by moving the contact area to a different place. The Barracudas work by spreading the contact area out over a larger surface area, so that less pressure is on any one point. Both still have to be tightened well enough that the seal doesn't break under the stresses of actual swimming.
