YAFTPT: Yet another find this product thread

[spangenberg]

I've been trying to locate some competitive swimming goggles. Keep in mind these aren't ordinary goggles, but drumroll please "Special Goggles".

They are normal goggles, but the top of them has been blacked out, forcing you to keep you head down, cause normally you would look at the top of your goggles to see the wall and stuff, but these are blacked out, forcing you to keep you head down.

I remember seeing them in a catalog a while ago (Maybe, Hammer Schlammer, or Sharper Image, or Brookstone, or Nke.....) but I can't seem to find them with any number of specially worded google searches.

Any help?

anybody?

could you just paint a pair or ordinary goggles?

or just learn to swim t he correct way without using idiot proof goggles...

As soon as you go underwater with goggles you'll encounter squeeze. If it's the goggle look you're looking for this won't help. But if you want a closely fitting mask with little tunnel vision or drag I'd recommend this. The price is right. It's usually $90 in a dive shop. Add a Scubapro snorkle and you're set.
I just bought this to complement my other dive gear.

hes talking about swimming on the surface of the water. Apparently these goggles help you keep your head in the right position to be more hydrodynamic.
