I was thinking about getting one of those bungee cords for my goggles, but I'm not too sure... they look like they may easily slip off during a dive... but I'd love to hear some pros and cons about them from people who have used them in the past. I recently switched to Nike Remoras (from Sweedes)... and I'm loving it!
Thanks.

I swear by the bungee cords for meets. I have a practice pair of googles and a meet pair, because I use perscription googles so I have one pair that is a cheaper model and the better/expensive one is my meet pair. I only use the bungee on the meet googles this time around, just because the original straps on my practice googles are fine for now. I have never lost my googles with the bungee cord in a meet dive situation. They are super easy to tighten if your paranoid behind the block as I am...you can make them so tight that your eyes feel like the cords wrapped right around them! :-)....the only con isnt really valid, but i hate when i tighten them behind the blocks and the straps get to be two different lengths...then I have to take them off and fix that...but thats just because im like OCD with that kinda thing haha.
