Not sure if I'm just retarded or what the deal is, but I've been having a devil of a time getting a good set of goggles for swimming.
I've primarily been using Speedo Vanquishers the past year or so, with relatively good success. The first pair's seal crapped out on me after a couple of months, and then had repeating problems with some of the plastic pieces parts. Worst of all were the nasty rings it left around my eyes after a spell in the pool.
Six or seven weeks ago, I bought a couple of pair of Tyr Socket Rocket 2.0 and enjoyed them for about a month; the left eye piece will not seal to my face, at all.
Saturday, I purchased a pair of Nike Remo II goggles, which I find essentially identical to the Vanquishers: minor lens differences for where the head strap loops through is all I can tell, apart from the Swoosh logo. Trouble is, I still get ring around the eyeballs. A good seal, though, and my head position seems to be better...or at least it feels that way.
That said, does anyone have any sort of advice on adjusting Socket Rockets or other Swedish style goggles? I've not had real time to talk with anyone at the local swim shop (D&J), given their proximity to where I live & all. With racing season coming up fast, I'd really like to get this taken care of lickity-split.//d[i][/i]
