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 use the large Aqua Sphere ..... for practice, when not diving into pool. I have some smaller goggles for competition, but usually end up swimming without any for the meet. When I go to the pool I take about three goggles with me in case one gets fogged up during practice. I also take my anti fog spray.
Ditto although I have dived using the Aqua Sphere (Seal and XP). They stayed on during the dive but I don't like that they both have a small ridge on top which creates quite a bit of resistance (drag) when diving or pushing off. (I compensate by inclining my head forward a few degrees more than normal angle for diving and pushing off.)
I usually take six or seven different goggles. Some days, some will fit more hermetically than a Nasa Sealed Chamber, other days it will have to be another one or use a sieve for eye protection.
Instead of anti-fog spray, I find that a quick rinse in Baby Shampoo does the trick. (It's also helpful when resting at turns and a beautiful lady swimmer says, "I smell Baby Shampoo." There's an opener.........)
