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.
