Extreme Veteran 589   Fridley, MN, USA | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 I added the Speedo Vanquisher. I've been using them for years, have tried other types, and always came back (very comfortable, good suction, low profile, little to no slipping on straps). The only downside I've come across is their durability-I have to get a new pair every year. |

Elite 2863 | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 TYR Racetech just fit the best and leak the least. I've had other goggles that fog and scratch very easily. TYR seems to work better. |

Champion 8766 Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 Nothing will EVER beat good old-fashioned Swedes. They don't leak and they last forever because they have no soft seals to wear out. Once in awhile you'll need to change out the strap which costs about $0.50. They come in a zillion colors for all sorts of lighting conditions. Since you put them together yourself they are infinitely adjustable. And they are CHEAP! |

If you haven't tried Swedes, spend the $5.00 and try a pair. You won't regret it. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 I voted Speedo Hydralign because they're a great compromise between Swedes and regulars (a bit like Rockets), but they provide the bonus of ensuring proper head alignment in the pool. Lift your head too much; you won't be able to see! Interestingly enough, they perform fantastic on OWS and don't limit my sight (any more than it's already limited in that context). And they don't leave you with raccoon rings.

Master 1845 Athens, Ga. | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 TYR Socket Rockets ROCK! I was using TYR Femme Racetech, but they would start hurting in the outer corners of my eye sockets about 20 minutes into a swim. The socket rockets don't hurt and don't leave much of a raccoon ring. |

Expert 640 Montreal | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 Speedo Vanquisher - Fit great on MY face. Never any leaking issues. Price -$15-20 Great for the longer swims |

Expert 936 Springfield, MO | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 Speedo Vanquisher. I have a small, kid-sized head and had a little trouble until finding the Vanquishers. No leaks and I love 'em |

Champion 5495 Whizzzzzlandia Silver member | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 Another vote for SOCKET ROCKETS. LOVE them! Swedes dug into the skin around my eyes. The Socket Rockets have a very light rubberized coating around the plastic edges, so even if they do dig, they won't cut in. Goggle eyes are very limited and don't last long! I love these! They are cheaper than most goggles, (though not as cheap as Swedes) and you can adjust them yourself. I love them. |

Extreme Veteran 338 | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 Speedo Vanquishers are a good bang for your buck. They're really adjustable (and therefore comfortable) and look hot. Love 'em! |

Champion 10471 Dallas, TX | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 I love the Speedo Pro's. They have a cushion around the eye piece that sits OUTSIDE of the eye socket. Those goggles that sit on the eye socket hurt me. Unfortunately the Pro's are hard to find though. I finally had to order some off www.speedo.com. |

Champion 4902 Ottawa, Ontario | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 Like all training equipment, goggles are relatively personal things to choose. Perhaps even more so because of the many variations and permutations in eye sockets. I have a gym bag full of different types of goggles some costing much more than my Tyr Technoflex 2.0 but I still favour them over the rest. Why? Because they are the best fit. |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 Aqua Sphere Seal Mask - They fit my face well, and don't leak.... Or, should I say, they didn't leak until the lens popped out. Aqua Sphere said they'd send me a replacement pair, but I never received it. I went out and bought a new pair, which have worked fine. That said, I tried on the Aqua Sphere Vista Mask last week and really liked the seal that it formed. I just pushed them against my face and *poof* - they stuck.  ... They're $34 at Dick's, so I didn't buy a pair. However, when it's time to replace my current Seal, I may try these out. |

| Extreme Veteran 393 Columbia, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Best Goggles - 2007 AcesFull - 2007-12-28 5:11 PM Speedo Vanquisher OPTICALS. $18 for a rx goggle that's close enough to my rx and good enough optically that I would trust them to drive home if my glasses broke during a workout. x2 I also have a regular, non-rx pair of Vanquishers for races. |

Still love the product and replaced it myself. |
