Does EVERYONE come out of the pool with deep goggle impressions around their eyes? I'm 51 y/o and don't need extra bags or creases! The goggle marks diminish eventually, of course, but stay fairly noticeable for hours. I have to strap them on tight to keep water out and fog. Anyone have the perfect goggles to recommend? Or this is just par for the course?

The Barracudas do have to be tightened up and adjusted.. some people cant get them right.They used to be a expensive goggle about 30 dollars, Today they not as expensive even at 35 dollars because all plastic frame goggles like Speedo/TYR/Nike are selling above 12 dollars-16 dollars.How much do they cost to make ..probably a half dollar. The Swedes are still below 5 dollars . The Barracudas also can be fixed up like new for 6 dollars with new gaskets, headband and clip Barracuda has a kit for them. If your swim shop has them good if not there on the net and then shipping is almost as much as the kit. The TYR/Speedo goggles with all plastic frames do last a long time and are readily available. When it comes to goggles and caps you just have to experiment. as I say its still a cheap sport/exercise for the equipment compared to lots of others.
