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 was in a sport store recently and had a chance to try on a pair of Aqua Sphere goggles... when i got home and looked them up i was unprepared for all the choices... but i'm pretty sure they were the: Aqua Sphere Seal XP Mask i gave them the fit test, pressing them on and letting go. with just a minimal amount of pressure they stuck to my face so much that i had difficulty getting them off... which is to say it was pretty much a perfect fit for me. i really like the combination of fit, view, and low profile. i will definitely be getting a pair of these to try out. i doubt i'd use them in pool competitions... but for practice i think they'd be great. seems like they'd be really good for distance swimmers (OW, tri's, etc.) at the aqua sphere web i noticed they have optically corrected versions too (the 'Eagle')... www.aquasphereswim.com/.../eagle_optics.html www.shopatron.com/.../688.0.28416.31908.0.0.0 as i've seen on every thread regarding goggle choices, it is a very personal choice. go with what fits you best... in terms of both wearing comfort and budget.
