I’m currently using TYR petite frame goggles. They fit my face, but performance wise…I need something better. Something polarized and just better in general for competitive triathlon. Are there any suggestions for a high performance smaller goggle to fit my small face? I’ve tried other performance goggles, but I had issues with the way they fit. I guess I have crazy close eyes or something like that!
The Aquasphere Kaiman Ladies are the only goggles I’ve ever found that fit me. I’m the same, a small face that is hard to fit.

Do you have to have a polarized lens, or do you need something with a dark tint/ mirrored lens?
We (AquaSphere) offer a small fit and ladies fit (the same size just different colors) in both the Kayenne and Kaiman if you are looking for a nice larger lens goggle. Great comfort, wide field of view, and easy adjust.
If you want to stick with a 2 piece goggle (adjustable nose bridge), the K180 is an awesome goggle in a small package. We offer this in a ladies version as well, but the only difference from the regular fit is the nose bridge sizes. Again, Great comfort, wide field of view, and easy adjust.
If you need help finding some goggles, I’m happy to help.

Great, thanks! Which one do you think is the best for performance? I’m having issues with my current goggles leaking after wearing them for about :45. Not a big leak, just a steady slow one. It’s not too bad in the pool. But in the longer distance swim, especially in salt water, it is bad. I just did Eagleman and swam the last bit with one eye closed. I felt like a pirate.
They fit my face well. So, I think the leak is because they’re not high quality.
I can’t speak to the quality of the goggles you are using, but my best recommendation is to go to a swim shop, or a large sporting goods store (Dicks, Sports Authority…) and try some goggles on.
Our goggles have very easy packaging to open and you should always try goggles on before you buy them.
Each goggle will fit each athlete a little different, so I can’t speak to what would be best for you. The three goggles I mentioned will work very well in in and out of the pool. It’s just best to find what fits you best, feels comfortable, and offers you great vision.
Where are you located? I can help you find a retailer.

I’ve had good luck with the blueseventy Siren, and I have a pretty small face. It took me ages to find something that didn’t leak. The TYR petite goggles didn’t fit me at all.

Awesome, thanks! I would like to try them on for sure. I live in West Chester, PA. I’ve found the male version of goggles in many places. But, I can’t seem to find the women specific versions. I appreciate your help.
It’s hard being a small framed girl! I have goggle issues, tri suit length issues. And, I had to saw off like half of my seat post on my new bike. Thanks for your help.
If you look for the Small fit goggles, you will find the same goggle as the ladies, just a different color. The regular fit is 20% larger and will likely be too big for you.
Dick’s Sporting goods may be the closest option to you, and they should have the ladies fit kayenne.

I have a very small face, and have found the Speedo Jr Vanquisher 2.0 (kids’ goggle) to work great. (Be sure to get the Junior version). Comes in clear and mirrored versions, and less than $15 at swimoutlet.com

I’m also a big fan of junior size goggles - fit better, leak less, leave far less ‘goggle eye’ face re-arrangements and even better - cost less!!! I’ve had great success with both Speedo Jet & Vanquisher juniors.
oohh, I’ll have to try the Jet.
+1 for the Speedo kids vanquisher 
.
+1 for the Speedo Vanquisher, but rather than the kids’ one they have a women’s version that fits my wee face very well - comes with a couple of different nose bridge sizes, and is available in a mirrored finish that cuts glare:

Aquasphere Kamin Jrs. or Kamin women’s–they are great
one word: swedish.
Another vote for Swedes. Super comfortable, infinitely adjustable, and only $5!
have you tried the barracuda hydrobat goggles?

I bought mine 30 mins before a lake swim race (forgot my goggles at home), and they were amazing - over 1.2 mi they never leaked once.
i have a small head also - and was impressed that their goggles fit nicely in my eyes.
there are enough choices in color/lenses to make everyone happy.

I just ordered a pair as a result of your post! For years, I wore their standard model, but as I’ve aged, I’ve lost fat on my face and feet, only to have it settle in my middle. Now, my goggles don’t fit, my feet hurt when I stand for hours at work and I’m getting thick in my mid-section…ah menopause
