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

LOL I see Buds response about the Barracuda goggles. I love mine and worn them about 20 years now. replacement foam kits are cheap and keep them going, no red marks just comfortable . As I have said before there a love them or hate them goggle. the price of the Cudas has been about the same for the past few years now..32-35 dollars I see all the "cheap goggles " going way up in price now there up to 14-16 dollars. The "cudas" do need pampering and proper adjustment they often need to be tightened way up till they seat then there good. Bottom line is that goggles are a personal choice and everybody has a fav. There no one goggle that everybody likes. The Tri crowd has a prefrence today toward the Aquasphere "Seal mask type goggle. I have tried them and there OK.. Thats it Ok , they still leak a bit and cut my face up with the edges. The only goggle I really think works for most people is the Speedo Hydrospex. They do fit well but they leave me with the circle thing about the eyes. I can wear them though in a pinch and they are indestructable unlike the Barracudas with the soft foam seal.
