going to start swimming again i get itchy eyes fron chlorine, what goggles do people rate?
Ta

speedsockets
one's that fit 🙂
personally like zoggs, ones with different sized nose pieces rather than adjustable
aquasockets
in reality you're probably going to go through a few pairs until you find ones you really like. The aquasockets have bigger nose piece options than the speedsockets so are good with large noses (like me!). I have some zoggs predator which others rave about, and i just find far too small across the nosebridge (not adjustable) and don't seal properly around my eyes. I also prefer the optics of the speedsockets compared to the 'wide angle' zoggs.
+1 for speedsockets Decathlon do them for a fiver. Found them slightly uncomfortable to start with but then used the bit of string and rubber pipe to hold the lenses together and it was all good from then on.
aquasphere vista mask. Never got on well with goggles
Godfreys - no other goggle comes close for me.
Admittedly they're hard to get hold of nowadays, just lucky I've got a stash left over from when I used to swim more often.
Aquasphere kaymen for me, nice soft rubber gasket that seem to fit a wide range of faces.
I also don't like the zoggs predators, I got some expensive polarised ones but have only ever worn them once.
my top tip would be find a pool that doesn't use chlorine only though 🙂

To be fair its years since i swam regularly so it may be better now!
Speedo Futura Ice work really well for me.
+1 one's that fit
Find a shop that sells a range.
I also like the Aquasphere Vista's having a narrow bridge.
A mate has the Kaymans & he likes those.
Totally dependent on the shape and size of your face. I bought some Aquaspheres, and didn't really get on with them, just bought 2 more pairs of different styles - the Kayman have a great field of vision, but don't seal, and the smaller ones, K180's fit well but don't have such a wide view.
Get to a shop which sell a range and try a load on. If you're in London then [url= http://www.oceanleisure.co.uk/ ]Ocean Leisure[/url] has a pretty wide range.

Zoggs Predator are my favourite (despite what others have said above!)
Its a cliche now, but still true. Buy the ones that fit [b]you.[/b] No point in anyone else's recommendation. Turboferret is spot on.
I used to love speedo's but current versions do not fit my face. Aquaspheres leak on me. But good old zoggs fit perfectly.
+1 Aquasphere Kaymen
I just got Zoggs Trimask, it's more like a scuba mask without the nose, with a silicon gasket alround instead of 2 separate eyepieces. Comfy, probably not hydrodynamic (?) for racing but suit me well, swim mainly in the lake.
