Question: I am having a problem with finding the perfect goggles. They either leak, scratch, or I can't seem to adjust them properly. The last resort came when I bought a pair of TYR hydrovision goggles that seemed to fit perfectly, and were advertised as antifog, and UVB protected. Fog appeared pretty quickly, so I took them off, and tried to wipe them clean with my suit, then later a towel. Now that lens is all scratched up. No one ever told me that one can't clean these plastic lenses?
Anyone else have problems like this?

I used to wear Tyr Technoflex and was constantly replacing them because they scratched up on the inside... apparently I have abrasive eyelashes. :confused:
Then either my eye sockets changed or their molds did, they didn't fit any more. After trying a few different types I settled on Speedo Hydrospex. They don't scratch nearly as easily and they pass the dry face test, which is where you press the lenses up against your eye sockets without actually putting on the straps and see if there is any suction when you take them away again. If there is, they're a good fit and not as likely to leak. Buying from a shop that lets you try them on is a big time and money saver in the long run, if you can find such a place. If you're in the western provinces of Canada any time in the future, the Swimco chain is good for that. (NAYY)
