Best Goggles - 2006

I have had better luck with inexpensive goggles than others. Now I am not saying they are the $1.50 for Walmart , but $10 Nike ones have worked perfectly!

Aqua Sphere Seal XP - love these goggles!  Have never had a seal or fogging problem.  Trick for me was to find a goggle that fit my face correctly.

Hey, I voted for Aquasphere, but a subsequent voter qualified them as 'kaimans'.  Count mine as a vote for the kaimans, too, because they're just o-so-phenomenal.  Or maybe just combine the aquasphere vote.

You can prefer a brand of speedo whatevers, but guaranteed in 3 years they will be gone or just different.

Sweedish goggles were the same when I was 10 as they are today (I am 21).

And they were the same when I was 10 (and wearing them) and I am 30

Huge fan of theKaymans!  I went through 3 different styles and types of goggles and there have never leaked for me.  Fogged up...yes...leaked...NO.  Even when they got knocked around in a mass start.

TYR SocketRockets - more comfortable than old school Swedes, and just as leak proof. Easy adjustability, too.

The Speedo women's vanquisher is good for us who have smaller head size. 

Is there such a thing? I literally have tried them all and while they're not perfect TYR Femme T-72 Ellipse Metallized seem to work best for me (the perfect pair would not leave indentations around the eyes for hours - not a good look!). Fogging is never an issue but I think that's because I rinse the lenses with a solution of baby shampoo & water before a race, which was a tip from a pro, and the goggles never fog. I also wear them under my cap so if/when I get knocked in the face at a race, they stay in place. More information than you wanted but thought i'd share.

I love the Speedo Women's Vanquishers.  They're great goggles, especially for those of us who have smaller heads.  It's nice to have goggles that aren't kid's. 

My vote is for the Swedish Goggles. I've used them since 1986 and they've never let me down.

I've got Aquagoggles and love them. Great price (>$25), great quality, and great lens selection. You can each lens in different strengths and in .25 diopter increments.

Speedo Hydrospex - have used them for 2 years now, no problems.  Swam my 1st 3 tris in them.  They fit my face.  On my 3rd pair now.  Cracked one pair, don't know how, left a pair at the Y, and just got a new set for Christmas.  $13.95 at most sports stores.  

TYR socket rockets don't leave racoon eyes, don't leak and are highly adjustable for most faces because they sit right on the eye socket. I like them better than other swedes or socket rockets b/c they have a rubber seal so it doesn't hurt sitting on the bone.

Did I mention no lines, and instead of having to tie a string to adjust you just pull some rubber. It comes with the string if you like the old school pain in the butt. Hee hee.

Blue is my favorite. Makes the sky always look sunny.

Cha-ching, I agree, 'cept I like the clear ones...

i ve gone through at least a half dozen ..   im trying out lane 4 now.. they seem to work pretty good and provide good sight under water... the leak a little when I push off in the pool sometimes..   ill have to check those socket rockets .. from tyr.. anybody got a link... im to lazy to google for goggles.. lol.

I have added an Aussie brand here - Engine Eyewear - Rockstar goggles - seriously these are the BEST ever goggles. I have tried every pair, every size, every style. I LOVE these goggles. I found them at a triathlon event, just come out on the market and designed by one of our Ex-Olympic swimmers. GREAT!

Yah, but those are for Rockstars, we're Triathletes. You aren't allowed to mix the two.
