Recommended Goggles?

The Aqua Sphere Seal swim mask works better for me than standard goggles. It doesn't leak at all, has a seal that suctions to the face incredibly well, and doesn't need adjustment once it is on. If I press it on a bit too hard, it feels like it is gonna suck my eyeballs out. In fact, out of the water, I can put the mask on my face without the strap, and it won't fall off. I wear it for bodysurfing and there is no chance of losing it going over the falls and getting tossed around in the white water. (I lost two pairs of standard goggles earlier this summer doing that.) But the Aqua Sphere mask will fog (maybe not quite as much as regular goggles), and I don't think it helps with contrast. I've tried the smoke and mirrored, and, as with all goggles I've tried, it is more difficult to judge the distance of the waves when wearing the Seal mask. But the Seal mask relieves my eyes from the glare of the sun in the late afternoons, and it works much better than standard goggles for me. Aqua Sphere makes a photograde mask that changes according to the light level, but I haven't tried that one. I picked up my Seal masks up at Sportsmart when they had a 30 or 40% off sale. The best prices I've seen online is from www.makeityours.net I also have the summer version of the Aqua Sphere triathelete wetsuit. I use it for freediving/skindiving, and I am considering getting the Fall version for skindiving almost year round (in So. Cal. and I don't get cold easily). Some of the dive site coves I go to have water a bit colder than the beaches, I'm diving below the surface, and I wanted a little thermal protection without having to use weights for diving. I love the wetsuit. It is very thin, flexible, comfortable. I bought mine at a local shop (needed to try it on before buying) but I would buy the next one from makeityours.net, as those are the best prices I've seen. Good luck... I hope you find something that works for you!
