Well, I ended up buying: Speedo Air Seal XR Mirrored
I already swam wearing them, they are awesome!!!
very confortable, very adjustables, perfect vision, no fog (yet), they didn't fill out with water at all, I jumped from the blocks and the didn't come off, good size, etc
Thanks everyone for answer the pool and for the advices.
The first few times that you'll wear it the peripherical vision will look "strange" due at the curve lens but after a while you'll get used, btw it float in water...yes... float because the gasket is filled with Air (-> Air seal )
I've tried all the most popular Speedo goggles, XR are best for me, the right blend between a racing goggle with the confort of a training ones, so I can dive, push off hard off the wall without any leak or resetting it.
The Aqua Racer is a close second for the performance in pool, but the smoke version is too faint and I've not found any other color available, the bright lights bother me a lot so I can't stand it in a bright pool, I'll try the mirrored version some day.
If you "love" it and you use the mid-size nose piece I think that you'll love the speed sockets with large nose piece for meet, they're very extreme, ultra low profile, small inprint, "hard" but terrific fit on the face, good for 5-10 mins, no for 60-90 mins for me; moreover in last few weeks a lot of good deals online on them, I suspect that in late summer speedo will launch a new top of the line goggle for the Olympic...so the Big stores are starting to clear the house or... maybe not...
