How many *different* goggles do you use?

Goggles are hard to find that fit one's face. It will be interesting to know how many different goggles one uses. Maybe some are for lap swim, some are for open water, some are for race? Some people do seem to have a lot of goggles, from the "what is in your swim bag" thread, and I wonder if all those goggles are the same or different? :cool:

  • I love socket rockets, they're the only pair of goggles I can wear. I will warn you - they'll stretch, you can tighten them, they'll be fine. Then one day they just kind of break. So always have a spare on hand. Unless you have time to clip off some of the excess from the strap and make a new nose bridge. They're like lithium ion batteries - they generate 99.999% of their max power until suddenly they're just dead. (As opposed to nickel cadmium batteries which I believe start @ 100% and gradually lose their ability to generate power (so a gradually declining slope).) Good to know. I'll see how these hold up. If any piece of gear starts becoming high maintenance, it gets replaced pronto, but hopefully these will last me a good long while.
