To all Hind Compy HATERS: Maybe somebody experienced in physics or evolutionary genetics could field this question. Exactly how significantly has the goggle evolved over the last 30 years (roughly when the compy was created from primordial slime)? I mean does the plastic of today have a different drag coefficient or has it been equipped with flagella or something? I've been wearing the same two compy (one clear, one smoke--one for when I'm happy and one for when I'm sad) for the last two years. It is my humble opinion, that the foam gaskets are much more comfortable and definitely not significantly less durable than silicone. I have replaced my smoke (sad) goggle elastic once with a 1 dollar silicone strap. The antifog of today's goggles is a joke and usually lasts only a few weeks and can be remedied with a single drop of antifog. I am certainly down with paying too much for something just because it's the best (see my bike), but I'm not sure where the technology is improved for the 10-15 dollars extra. The only advance I can tell has been more affordable correction lenses...so back off haters!
I don't wear these, because they don't seem to work for me. You can find them here:

I'll wear any type of goggles that work for me. I have a couple of pair (Cayman) that I purchased at Big Lots, and Wallgreens. They work, I paid $5.00 and they have lasted more than a year without defects.
Speedo has these new $90.00 goggles that feel real nice in the store. Too rich for me. I'll keep my current goggles thank you very much.

I use Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo as my anti-fog solution for my goggles. Works just fine.
