    I have switched to the Aqua Sphere Kayenne, I have one pair of black/tint (mirrored, for OWS) and one pair of gray/clear (might be a slight tint, can't remember, but I use them for pool and less bright OWS days). I like the Aqua Sphere masks, but found that I am good enough at sighting and whatnot that I don't really need the peripheral vision of the mask (they are comfy though).

    As for fogging, swimming apparently turns my body into an oven (I am warm for hours after getting out of the water even), so after about 15 minutes in the pool they start fogging. I'm going to try re-applying the anti-fog stuff and see if that helps. My OWS pair don't fog as badly but I don't wear them as often and in cooler temperatures/water.

    I'm hesitant to experiment, but I am considering trying other brands/styles. Sometimes it's a bit overwhelming, though, and it's hard to find enough styles in person that you can try on.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions! I'm having an issue finding somewhere that I can try them on - most of the places I've found are buy then try (and I've tried one of the 2 that REI carries, and they didn't work for me).

    Do you have a D1ck's Sporting Goods near you? They carry a decent selection this time of year. I went in and opened a bunch of them. I believe they carry Speedo, Tyr and Aquasphere, I think...still worth a shot.

    I put them all back as best I could, too.

    PS - I ended up with Speedo Vanquisher's as well. Men's version (big head).
