I have a pair of Sable goggles which I've had for a few years and they have been great....except they aren't dark enough on a bright sunny open water swim. I'm struggling to find an equal-in-quality pair of prescription anti-fog goggles that are mirrored or otherwise are dark enough to help out with the sun glare. Ideally these would allow me to have a prescription strength that differs for each eye, but I'd be willing to work with the same strength for both eyes if I had to. Have any other optically-challenged open water/outdoor pool swimmers found this mythical pair of magical goggles?
Yikes, just checked those Barracudas. $54?!?!?!? Can anyone tell me something about them to justify that price?
I purchased the adult and the Junior clear models. The adult was too large on me and therefore leaked. The junior fit but developed a leak between the lens and the plastic after about two weeks. Both models had a terrible strap that would not stay in position and so I had to replace with a bungee strap at added cost. I would not spend $54 for this brand - it is cheaply made. The optics were pretty good though. For that kind of money better go back to Sable if you liked it before
Sorry for such a delay in replying. I have the competition style. I ended up buying a new pair of these. I really do like them. The anti-fog is reliable, they are comfortable in the pool, and work in the open water well......just wish they were came in a darker tint for open water. Someone could probably make some money off of us near-sighted swimmers if they'd just make a better prescription goggle for outside!
