I am new to OW (as in I have never done it). I lap swim fairly regularly though. I need a new pair of goggles but I want them to be geared to OW. Anybody have any suggestions? Anything particular straps, seals or other feature I should look for? Thanks in advance!

    I personally prefer a mask type “google”, due to great field of vision and ease of putting back on, if hey happen to leak. Regular goggles always seem to too tight around my eyes. The softer silicon seals just fine. My vanity also enters into play- with regular goggles I feel like a raccoon for hours afterwards! Also, if a leak occurs- I find it easier and faster to rectify. Of course I’m not in all this for any speed record!
