    Prescription goggle woes

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Does anyone else use prescription goggles? Do you find they're a complete waste of money???

    I find that mine don't help me as much as i thought they would and am disappointed. Perhaps it's the brand(Crox), that's the issue.

    Our coach had an extra pair of Zoggs goggles at the pool today & loved them right away!!!

    I don't have Rx goggles, but I do have Rx wraparound sunglasses. Tfosi is the brand. I couldn't ride without them.

    I wear contacts either case. Imagine me, -8/-11, pulling off my goggles in transition and having to find my bike and my Rx glasses???



    or actually rather

    Too funny!
    I'm in contacts, too. Although, Alpine seems to be far worse off than I am prescription wise,
    , I can totally relate to not being able to find my bike if I were to remove the rx goggles too soon!

    This duathlete happily stays out of racing waters. I mentioned it in another post - Sable Water Optics. Everywhere I go, they are flying off of the shelves. I almost feel like I am missing out on some great piece of gear...They do prescription goggles as well.

    Whoops, I misunderstood the first post. I do have Rx swimming goggles, and it is so nice to SEE in and out of the pool. Mine are great, they are Hilco.
