just got new acquashere vista goggles, I like the visibility of them
Only problem is that they are still leaking, just a little but I needed to stop about every 15 to 20 min... any tips, should I try them tighter or loose?

If you look like a raccoon when you take them off they are probably too tight and I would try loosening them.

I had some of those Aquasheres for a couple days.  I could never get them to seal well on my face.  Guess they aren't compatible with my face and whatever wrinkles I make around my eyes when I swim.  Definitely make sure they aren't too tight before throwing in the towel.

If they are leaking, my bet is that they are too loose.  I have had good success with these goggles but when I bought the speedo version, I can't use them without leaking.  Just depends on whether your face matches the goggles.  I now buy only the Speedo hydroseals.  Less visibility, more raccoon eyes, but no leaks.

X2...Once you go with TYR Nest Pro's you never go back...they kill the aquasphere Kaiman's.

I don't have a problem with the vistas leaking, but I can't keep them from fogging up. I've gone back the the XP.

x2. I like the fit as they tend not to leak on my face and I've had difficulty with other goggles. But I've had a tremendous difficulty with the fogging. And, indeed, I've tried spit and that simply hasn't worked...

My Aquaspheres leak, too.  They stayed on w/o the strap when I tried them in the store, but they leak when I breathe.  Not every time, just enough to drive me nuts
