Equipment Malfunctions - my rant

What the heck is it about goggles - some days I'll get them on perfectly and I don't have any leaking at all. Other times, I'll put them on, and they start filling up like crazy on my first 5 yards out from the wall. Other times, I'll be in the middle of a swim, stop to rest for a few seconds, then get on it again and they have started leaking for no apparent reason... I am also a nose clip wearer...and I find that after about 500 yards, the nose clip is sliding off. Sooo frustrating.... anyone else???? Oh I forgot to mention the same thing with ear plugs that all of a sudden won't seal... But then there are those great days when everything is sealing, not leaking, not sliding and I'm a happy camper. Was going to put this on my personal website's rant section but figured my visitors wouldn't relate to it but visitors to this forum definitely will! Marian

    i know the feeling! try tightening them... I have a small face, so it's always a problem for me... I 'splurged' and bought some sedish goggles; they're more consistant. I used to wear ear plugs (I'm a candidate for infections). they leaked so much, that I gave up on them; I just pull the cap over my ears (which stays put for about 30 secs!) and use the ear drops after a workout. good luck!
