I've been an avid fan of Speedo's one-piece goggle, "Ultravision" and found out when my faves broke that they discontinued them... :-(
Anyone have a brand & style that they like and would recommend? I'm hoping to find ones that are good for swimming outside (the glare of the white bottom pool was killing me yesterday, even with my "smoke" colored goggles).
Also, I recently purchased a kickboard from Speedo and found it to be too flimsy in the water. Suggestions?
Thanks everyone! I'm new to these boards and all of your posts have been really, really helpful. :-)
Very best,
Rebecca
I've never been able to wear those 1-piece goggles and have them work correctly. It seems one goggle would be ok, the other leaked, etc.
Anyway, I've worn the TYR Racetech for about 10 years now, and won't wear anything else. I wear regular smoke for winter, and the metallized for summer. Yes, even at 6am there's enough sun that you need tinted goggles here in AZ in the summer. The metallized version isn't cheap, about $16, but worth every penny.
I'm pretty flexible on kickboards. I lug a gear bag with paddles, a pull bouy, and zoomers (I don't use them that often), but I can take or leave the kickboard. Many times I'll just skull with my hands and kick. If we have kickboards in the team basket and we're doing a longer kick set, I'll use one.
