Goggles Leaking

Man this is a problem....for starters... I have buggy eyes...that being they protrude a bit...enough that my eyes touch the lenses on regular goggles. After trying various options I found a goggle from TYR that looks like a smaller version of a scuba mask. Actually very comfortable, and not at all bulky/anti streamline (although they probably look pretty goofy) but leakage around the edges is problem. When I put them on the seal is great, they adhere to my face well, and you must pry up an edge to take them off. But during swim one or the other will allow water in, sometimes enough so that they are ineffective. I have tried to tighten them down, moved the straps to different positions on my head, to varying degrees of success, but still the water comes in....I can function this way, but does anyone have any ideas as to how the leakage can be minimualized? Or is this just the deal? Thanks in advance.

  • Can someone please explain how to use those swedish goggles? I have a pair that my child foisted on me. I tried them when I had some goggle trouble and they leaked like crazy. But I see a lot of experienced swimmers with them. Right now, I just use the speed sockets for everything. I like the GCGs too, but the foam seems to degrade easily.
