Best swim goggles?

[fustercluck]

I've always had crappy swim goggles that are uncomfortable to wear and fog up every 2 seconds. These have always been Speedo goggles also, which are the most common brand I would think. Would like to get some really good goggles that I would like. Any recommendations or are they all pretty much the same?

There this stuff called "Cat Crap" they sell at most sports stores. It works PERFECTLY.

Looks like this: http://toolmonger.com/wp-conte...s/2007/11/CatCrap3.jpg

I use the stuff that isn't the spray. The spray sucks.

Works perfectly for goggles or rifle scopes?

Dunno if it's waterproof or not?

Works on goggles and glasses, it will distort the view on a scope. It's kinda greasy.

I always like Tyr Socket Rockets: http://www.tyr.com/shop/socket...-p-180-c-68_70_71.html

They do fog a little, but it never bothered me, as they would only fog if I was sitting around. Swimming laps and racing with them was fine.

Those are kinda neat lookin.

Thanks for the tip about the "catcrap". Still need to find a pair that isn't uncomfortable on my nose.

yeah, TYR & Speedo, they both have a similar style.

it kind of depends on what fits best for your face.

I really like my cheap speedos I got at Big 5. They haven't fogged on me yet, but I only swam around in the river, not necessarily doing heavy laps.

OP, both Speedo and TYR sell anti-fog stuff
TYR Speedo both of which may available in local stores.
they do work pretty well, but a lot of goggles come w/some sort of anti-fog coating that should last a couple of weeks.
I use these
unless you're planning to swim long distances w/o stopping... rubbing the inside w/your fingers and/or dipping in the water tends to work fine for anything short of a mile.
this is assuming you're swimming indoors.

When I used to swim competitively, I pretty much only wore Swedish Goggles.
Example Link
They never leaked, they never fogged, they had by far the best visibility of any goggles I'd ever worn. They also cost less than pretty much everything else.

They don't have padding, so they may take a bit of getting used to, but they were actually pretty comfortable too once I got used to them.

That's pretty much what the Tyr SocketRockets are, except they have a thin layer of silicon. My older brother used the Swedish goggles and I think he still uses them today when he goes to a pool to swim.

When I swam competetively, I always used TYRs. Speedos would never fit me well enough. I still rock TYRs to this day. As for the anti-fog coating, don't touch the insides of your goggles or else it wears off.
