I need some goggles. Never bought the good kind, just play kind. I have a BIG head, :) I'm 6'4" tall.
I'm on swimoutlet.com, I see all kinds on there. Just wondering. I've tried on the futurity2 Speedos. They're ok. But I wondered if there were more appropriate ones for bigger noggins? :p
(there is just no way to type that politically correct that doesn't sound funny)
Thanks

Head size really doesn't matter. But the size of your nose and the distance between your eyes does. All major brands should have enough strap and stretch to fit your head.
I use the Speedo Speed Socket to race, but it is too close to my face for practice. It has 3 sizes of nose bridge.
I also like the Speedo Vanquisher for training. It has silicone seals rather than neoprene foam. Again has 3 sizes of nose bridge. The straps are tighter and don't stretch as much.
Just bought a pair of TYR Aqua Shift Rockets which are kinda like Swedish goggles in size (small) but have a rubber seal and a fixed but flexible nose piece. The dual straps are very stretchy. So far so good.
I don't like foam seals. They aren't as durable for me. But my kids swear by them and won't use anything else.
