Just curious what people think the best competition goggles are?
Also should you wear different goggles for open water swimming?
Thanks for your advice!:)

I tried the Speedo Airseal goggles and do not like them. They are comfortable, but they trap water because the seal has a lip that intrudes into the goggle itself.
I have generally trained with Vanquishers because they are all around good - although I wish they had a light blue. I swim in the mornings outdoors and it starts dark although I finish the workout after the sun comes out.
I race with Speedo Speed Sockets. They are for me the best racing goggles. They fit close to the face, are almost impossible to knock off, and seal well. But they are not comfortable for long periods of time.
I am now training with Nike Swim Swift Fusion goggles. They surprised me with how good they are. They have a fairly stiff seal, but are comfortable, and do not leak. I like how the strap attaches the goggle. Vision is excellent.
