Thanks to Nina Schneider for turning me on to the Speedo Sprint goggles last winter. All the previous goggles I tried would work well for about 3 swims & then the right eye would leak forever after. I would have to do my entire workout with my right eye closed....very annoying! In an attempt to get them not to leak I would tighten them so tight that I would have some really hideous goggle eyes for several hours. Not a big deal for swims in the evening but after Sunday morning swims I would get some odd looks while doing my grocery shopping.
The Speedo Sprints are nothing spectacular but they do what all the others couldn't.....keep the water out & minimize the goggle eyes. They do fog up but that can be prevented with a little baby shampoo or old fashioned spit! Some reviewers say they don't last as long as they used to but I personally don't care if I have to replace them every 6 months. As long as they keep the water out for the entire time I am happy. In fact, the gasket material pulled away on my clear pair after about 5 months of usage & I still wore them for the Atlanta Iron Girl with no water leakage. After Iron Girl I switched to my smoke pair since I swam outdoors all summer. Now that I am swimming inside again I switched back to the clear pair with the gasket pulled away. Still no water leakage!
So, if you are having issues with your current goggles consider giving these a try.
***The opinions are my own....I was not compensated by Speedo or Nina Schneider...although she did give me the pair to try out I eventually bought her a new pair in return. :-)
