Best very dark open water goggles

Former Member

Iâ€Tmm looking for a pair of goggles with very dark lenses for outdoor swimming. Iâ€Tmm extremely light sensitive, so the darker the goggles are the better. I have tried several brands mirrored options and they vary quite a bit. The sunglasses I wear during a triathlon are dark red. That is the color that works best for my eyes, but I havenâ€Tmt found any swim goggles with a red tint. What are some goggles you have tried that have dark lenses, maybe even too dark for you? They would probably work great for me!

    I use the plain Speedo Vanquisher. I have a few different tint levels (they have clear, very light, moderate, and very dark). Very light sensitive, as well, but I only use the darkest ones when I am doing open water swimming and know that I'll be swimming into a sun that is somewhat low in the sky. If there is any hint of cloud cover or fog, they are too dark to effectively spot. Of course, an outdoor pool will probably be a lot worse, so not sure what the application is. Haven't done laps in an outdoor pool since I was a kid.
