i notice triathletes and swimmers take terrible care of their goggles.
Treat them with respect(put them back in the box after each use) extends the life and keeps them almost new looking.(easier said than done i know) a pair of Swedish goggles can go along way...if you can handle the first week of pain around your eye socket. also Swedish goggles are made so you can look at the wall without having to lift your head up Sheet, a person taking their goggles out of their little box is one of the surest signs of a frigging novice swimmer; zero, abso zero, experienced swimmers do this but rather just carry their goggles by their strap in their hand. Further, they don't wear these huge half face goggles but rather wear Swedes or similar. I've been using the same pair of Swedes for about 11 yrs and roughly 16 million yds now. Just put on my third bungee strap so $5 for the goggles originally plus 3 x $5 for bungee straps = $20 over 11 yrs for my goggles; last strap lasted 4.5 yrs so really it will be $20 in 16-17 yrs.
Of course, no matter your goggles, by your stroke shall ye be judged. :)
