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.

I think there are only two reasons to use the swedish goggles:
- they are really cheap
- you like messing with your equipment a lot
One alternative to the GCG is the Vanquisher - same lens and goggle body but silicone seals instead of the two layers of foam. Lasts much longer.
