    Goggle suggestions for avoiding raccoon eyes?

    Help! I'm keep buying goggles that give me marks until next Wednesday. Do you have a pair you love? If so, what?

    I'm going to the swim store this weekend to try some on, so I'd love some suggestions.

    the aqua-spheres gave me less raccoon eyes than any other brand. I lost mine and haven't replaced them, but when my current ones (Nike) give out, I'm buying aqua-spheres again.

    I'm using TYR Nest Pro; I like them a lot (switched from AquaSphere Kaimins) but I'm not sure if they're better or worse than anything else as far as this goes.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Thank you! I'm going to try on some aqua spheres at the swim store this weekend after all the good things I've heard about them.

    I love my Nike goggles! They are pretty much too worn to wear now though... and they don't make that style anymore

    +1 to both the Kayennes and the Nest Pros. I think that I prefer the Nest Pro (Nano, in my case) over the Kayennes because they're a touch smaller and fit me better.
