Preferred Goggle Brand/Model

Hydrospex Jrs. The kiddy smaller frame fits my relatively narrow face and close-set eyes. Tried some similar Tyr goggles. Liked them, but the lenses separated from the goggle frame over time. I want goggles that don't need to be babied. Have to have the 1-piece frame, the ones with a separate nosepiece put a little too much pressure on my tear ducts which inflamed them, caused dry eye, which resulted in repeated episodes of pink-eye. It took a while to make the connection between goggle style and eye infections. The neoprene seal goggles were nice at first but the rubber "alligatored" over time. The rough texture and whatever funk was growing on them caused some skin problems. Another pair of goggles with a silicone seal hurt like CRAZY. Fit is crucial. A good fit will keep the contact lens from being flooded without having to be torqued down enough to cause raccoon eyes. However, I do tighten the straps if I am going to be doing any block starts. Tried swedes. Torture!
