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 bumped up this thread to give my 2 cents.
I have a bunch of Swedish goggles, 1 Speedo Aquablade(which is a Swedish goggle with soft seal eye cups), 1 Aqua Sphere Kaiman and just bought two TYR Rocket Sockets(also like Swedish goggles with soft cups).
My Rating:
- Speedo Aquablade: I've had this pair for about 10 years and they still don't leak, are comfortable and you have a perfect view. Rating: 10/10
- Swedish Goggles: Last forever, are cheap, perfect view, never leak but can get uncomfortable. Rating: 9/10
- Aqua Sphere Kaiman: They have a good view, are semi-comfortable, leak after a certain time and are damn ugly. Rating: 6/10
- TYR Rocket Sockets: You would assume they are like Speedo's Aquablade but 1 of the 2 Socket Rockets I bought leaked from day 1, they immediately get and stayed foggy(even spit doesn't help), the side view is blurry/out of focus and the pool lights reflect from the sides which makes your view really tough.
