leaky goggles! help

I have had this problem too.  Try putting them on with the straps under your swim cap.  That sometimes does the trick for me. 

Also, wet them first  then press onto your face. 

Put the strap higher on your head... About 3" above your ears.

kagoscuba - 2008-08-01 12:11 PM any issues with a deviated septum?  When I first put goggles on, I thought I did something wrong, then I remembered I've had my nose broken 4 times, so that off-center look is totally normal.   However, like you, through the years, I've had goggles leak after a few minutes of swimming as well. 

 That could be a possibility, I have had broken my nose 3 times and it leans to one side more.

 I will have to try that. Also, the swim cap over the top has helped a little.

I went out and bought some TYR racetech goggles and I did and OWS today and they were aweseome!!! No leaking!!!

Thanks for your help everyone.

I'm really not having problems with leaking - I like my goggles. I wear the Barracuda Ultimate.

My problem is with fogging. I tried the spray and it made it only worse.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I have 2 suggestion for the OP:

1) Buy different goggles. AquaSphere's are great! But, if they don't fit your face right, there's not much that's going to change that.

2) A trick I just decided to try recently is to put a thin layer of vaseline around my eyes where the goggles seal.  It prevents me from having to squish the goggles into my face so hard, and creates a nice little water-proof barrier that fills in any imperfect areas where water can seep in.  It might be worth a try for you.

Good luck!  By the way, Barracuda's should be on your list of goggles to try. Good stuff!

As noted, you need to try out goggles in the store until you find ones that fit.  I have a very wide nosebridge, so I needed ones that have an adjustable nose strap.

For fogging, I use stuff in a little bottle called Spit.  It lasts much longer than my spit.  Did a one mile OWS without any fogging.
