I see in the new Kastaway catalogue that the Nike strapless goggles finally came out. They evidently stick to your face with adhesive. Has anyone tried them?
Allen, I had a pair a year or so ago that had the sticky gaskets, not strapless but maybe a precurser, I really disliked them. Mainly they didn't fit my face, but the sticky gaskets picked up every minute bit of debris (not that there is any dirt in the bottom of my swim bag!). The got dirty/icky no matter how careful I was. They weren't per se adhesive but were somehow sticky material, even when wet. It's hard to explain. I think they were Nike gogles I picked up at a meet.
Are they available online????
Yep

or just Google strapless goggles.
What I hate about all goggles is that a dry fit at the shop is no indication of watertightness in water and once you've bought them and tried them out in real life, most shops won't refund. And when you finally a make/model that's almost perfect, it will either fog up, get brittle and snap at the nose-piece with time or will be retired by the manudacturers.
Oh! for clear eye-drops that will solidify into a semi-water proof contact lense that will completely cover the eye and will dissolve with time (not too much time.)
If you do get a pair, please let us know how the experience (swimming not buying) went.
