Favorite Goggles for Training and OWS?

I've tried three different brands as well as the anti-fog spray and they all still fog up after 400m swim. I find that licking them helps a bit.

I have Nike goggles that I really like. They are a little bigger than speedos but are really comfy. As far as fogging, yeah they fog. Down here in Miami its so humid I expect it. An old diving trick that I use may help you guys. Spit into your goggles, wipe it around and rinse. It works great on dive gear. Theres also an anti-fog spray, it kinda works.

I think the Kaizen are smaller than the Seal, but the Seal is smaller than some of the other masks... I thought about trying those, too.

Spitting and licking - must be something in our own saliva that prevents fog!? How cool, and strange. Maybe I'll try that for my next swim and see if I can extend the life of my current Seal - even just for training in the pool where I can't see my watch without stopping and taking them off.

I have some TYR goggles with little skulls on them. Since I'm not going to be fast, maybe I can just look mean. Heh.


If you take your swimming seriously, you'd probably want something nice. I just want something that makes me laugh a little every time I put them on. (And that fit my face ok and don't fog up too quickly...since I already mentioned that I'm not fast. )

I like the AquaSphere Kaiman goggles. I have had some fogging lately, but a licked finger seems to take care of it pretty well.

I am SO glad this thread has been posted. I have goggle problem after goggle problem. I have tiny little head (I actually wear children's baseball caps). I find a good pair (but don't really know they are any good until I swim in them, by then, I have forgotten what I bought), they start to wear out and fog up, so I go back to the same store, describe said goggles, they have no idea what I am talking about, I buy a new pair, take them to the pool and realize they SUCK! I wish there was a code - you know, little tiny heads and faces work with these goggles. I am actually in the midst of goggle hell at the moment - I bought a pair for OWS - more peripheral vision than regular goggles. They have leaked since day one! I have to get them so tight that by 1200 meters I have a screaming headache! I have had this problem since I swam on a team as a child. What to do???

Try calling Team Estrogen and chatting with the chickies about what they carry that might fit best.

I've had great conversations with Molly and Aubra (sorry if I got your names wrong!) about different things I've considered ordering, when I've been worried about fit.

The Aquasphere Seal ows goggles I love so much are from TE. They fit my goofy head great, and if they hadn't fit TE would've had no problem with me sending them back or exchanging them.

I looooooove TE customer service!
