one day I was so tired that I forgot my goggles. so, I bought a pair at the pool, and have had goggle rings and depressions everytime I use them.
There are plenty of Baracuda models to choose from...which ones would you recommend?
Also, are there different brands and models that would save me from damaging my skin?
Please help! I don't want to look like a 40 year old 29 year old!
Best to all,

The Original Baracudas dont mark up your face. These are The Standard (original 1st model) The Medalist a smaller model and B300 a wrap around look. All have thick seals and are comfortable, They can be hard to get fitted right because the nose bridge must be adjusted with the little L tool with the goggles and the head band also must be adjusted and they are a double band with two adjustments. All that said they really must be tighted up a bit for the first swims and then they will settle on the face and mold to your shape. They also must be protected so the foam seal does not get squashed in your swim bag. All this is too much for some people the fine adjustments , ect. and they give up on them. Additionally they will fog as all goggles will and this can be mistaken for leaks by some. The best way to keep out fog is to let a little water in to swish around. One good feature of the original Barracudas is a repair kit that sells for about 6 dollars and you can replace the foam seal and the headband and clip. Some swim caps can cause a interference with the goggle seal especially with the B300 as they wrap around, and if the cap is a thicker style. I like the Standards and a bubble strap cap for the best hair and eye protection, and yes they can be "goofy looking: but all comfortable "swim nurd " items are (nose plug?) .. However the newest Barracudas of the 3 "Classic" original styles have a black foam seal which is softer then then the original white seal and very water tight too, some swimmers will feel the black foam may not have as much of a "Goofy Look" Anyway For max beauty in the pool swim heads up goggleless and capless "Hollywood Style" Personally I just like to swim and get some good exercise.
