Swim Goggles that don't leak?

Triathlon Forum

Can anyone recommend any swim goggles that don’t leak? I’ve tried the standard type from TYR, Speedo, Barracuda and the mask type from Seal and TYR but still fight the leaking.

Thanks,

I’m a big fan of Swedes.

x2 on the Swedes/Socket Rockets. Virtually leak-proof.

try ones with a rubber seal. The foam ones leak like crazy, or so I have found … the hard way

Seems like we go over this every few months - swedes are the answer. Trick is to not make them too tight.

The rubber seal ones make my face break out in a rash.

I’m a swedes user all the way.

Aquasphere Kaimens… Never had a leak issue.
I just can’t get comfy with the eye socket type goggles…

Blue Seventy have worked for me - they make two different styles (one had a bigger lense) but they both work great. I prefer the smaller ones but that’s because I’m used to that style.

I swear by Aquasphere Kaimen. They’ve never leaked, always keep a tight seal, easy to adjust. You can’t go wrong with these.

Every time one of these threads comes up, a common theme is to use swedes or socket rockets or the like. Why do they work? because you wouldn;t dare push them onto your eyes like a gasketed pair of goggles. I used to have goggles that would start to leak - my reponse was to tighten them a bit more - made the leaks worse, of course, I interpret this as the goggles being shot. Finally gave in and tried swedes, just place them on my eyes, straps only tight enough to hold them in place - no leaks. Now, any goggles I use, swedes or otherwise, I set them on my eyes - NO PUSHING - adjust the strap only to hold them in place - no leaks.

I have found the zoggs to work really well

Aquasphere Kaimans. $12 at Wal-mart.

x4 on the Aquasphere Kaimens. Solid, though I did have trouble with one pair leaking.

Thanks for the advise. I think that might be my problem. I push on the goggles an create so much suction inside the lenses that sometimes I think my eyeballs will be sucked out. I’ll try what you do and just sent them on my face next time.

Thanks to everyone else for all the recommendations. I’ll definately try some of them.

Swedes or Socket Rockets for me too. They are basically the same thing.

I just got so frustrated with the pair of Kaimans I’d been using that I threw them out - the right side wouldn’t stop leaking no matter what I did (including not pushing them on). My brother swears by them but put me in the no Kaimans camp.

Yeah, goggles are really an individual thing. I tried those swedes and found them to be absolutely unbearable.

LOVE the Swedes.

(dig the Swedish goggles, too)

They took a little minor adjustment to how I put them on when I started doing dive starts, but other than that they’re the best goggles I’ve used. I’m curious about the ones Rappstar reviewed, but am not into dropping $50 to try something new when I’m perfectly happy with what I’ve got.
