Best Goggles???

The Speedo Hydrospex work for me in competition. Plus, I have big eyes so it is impossible for me to wear those Swedish googles. The Mirrored Hyrdospex are great for outdoor use. I am also testing out a TYR pair that are good for big eyed people. I haven't had the urge to test them out in a race because the few times I dove off the block with them, the straps shifted a little. I don't like to do the straps under the cap thing. I wear the hyrdospex in Open Water as well.

Speedo Vanquishers. I can get them to match closely to my nearsighted prescription...good enough to see the pace clock, the workout on the board, the wall, and my lane mates in front of me! I can also go off the block with no problem. They are available in clear or tinted. I buy two pairs, one with -3 diopter and the other with a -5. You can take them apart and form two pairs of "prescription" goggles for $15 each!

For OW I like Tyr Nest-Pro Nano's with mirrored lenses. For indoor swimming/racing I love Tyr T-Femme Petite's; pink is my favorite because I love looking at the world through rose colored glasses!

Clear speedo sprint. Been wearing for the past 20 years. I've played around with others now and then but always come back to these.

............ Whatever suits YOU. Test in shop: will they stick to your face if you just press them a little (without the strap around your head, just semi-vacuum suction)? Then they'll probably not leak. One word of advice: When you (eventually) find a brand and model that you like, buy a dozen or so (if not more). If you don't and buy only a pair, the Manufacturer will immediately discontinue production (of that specific model) and you'll have to beg on eBay to (maybe) find one or two.

View Sniper - seem to last the longest, too. Only downside is they do not offer clear lens.

TYR socket rocket metallized. I have had this pair for 2 weeks now, and they are starting to fog - sigh. I like the fit of the TYR's versus the Swedes.

Speedo Vanquisher for racing. I've found that the rose lenses give me the greatest clarity in the water.

I still prefer the Speedo Ultravision goggles. No longer in production. I have a stash of several that I picked up from a Canadian reseller a couple years ago. -Rick

I like the vanquishers for comfort and in practice. When you do distance and only stop on the walls every so often comfort counts. I had some of the Tyr's and liked them but the seals deformed from sitting in my equipment bag. I have a new pair of Vanquishers that are red tint/metallic waiting on me for my OW swim in SC at the end of the month.
