Thanks for answer the poll, new suggestions are welcome. Joking aside (see my previous post re Ca$), have you tried any of these for size and fit? You don't want to buy the best (according to others' opinions) and possibly most expensive and find out that thay're not a good fit.

    I practice and race in the women's vanquisher and love them. A few years ago a friend of mine bought me 2 pairs of the Remora's from the Nike fitness center for half price. I wore the clear ones at a meet, the day I got them. I cleared them with my fingers, as I have done since I was 5 years old, and they scratched. It was so bad I couldn't wear them. So even at $6 (half price) they weren't worth it at all. I'll pay more than double for the vanquishers which will last a lot longer. Alison i made the same mistake with my first pair-now i just "lick and rinse" and no scratches-----please-no "yuck" coments :o.......

    I vote for Air Seal XR, Mirrored if you prefer, a racing ones but very confortable for workouts. A bit expensive, but a bit more durable that more cheap options. The curved lens are very cool...

I will do it after choose the brand which is what im looking for, you know..I won't be trying on every single brand of goggles... The brands on the poll are the best I have heard about, price is not a problem, and if the goggles doesn't work for me I know lots of swimmer who would buy them... Thanks for helping, I think im between 2 right now.

    I think Speed Sockets are a lot more comfortable than Vanquishers. Definitely my favorite goggle.
  • I agree with Tim on the Racetechs.I have been using them for years and love them.:banana:

    I use the TYR Rocket Sockets for practice and I love them. I've worn glasses forever, and had to wear prescription goggles so I was very limited in what I could wear, so now that I wear contacts I tried out tons of goggles and fell in love with the Rocket Sockets--they're very similar to speedos speed sockets I believe? well they're like swedish, but have a soft silicone rim instead of that hard plastic that digs into your eye socket. The silicone rim also helps with a little more suctioning so they stay put a little better, and at $7 a pair you really can't lose. I also use the women's vanquishers for meets, I still am paranoid that my goggles are gonna fall off on a dive (even though the rocket sockets never have) and I need to have that super tight suction you can get if you tighten the vanquishers tight enough. I suggest also getting a bungee cord for your goggle strap...its soo much easier to adjust I don't use it on my practice goggles anymore, but my race pairs always have a bungee on them, because that way you can crank it real tight before the race and loosen it for warm up or warm down without any trouble.
