![]() I just looked up the aquagoggle web site....seems like a good product,,,but I have never used them. Wouldnt a seal mask type of goggle be better in cold water swims? I'm thinking here of greater coverage over the face...plus a wider view to see what's 'up". I use vanquishers from speedo (in the pool) ...but have not yet been in open water.
As a small aside to all this...I went to my eye Doc. just last week and was told after my test that I have regained 20/20 vision (after 30 years!). I had noticed that when driving I was looking over my glasses instead of through them but just assumed that I was bound for a new prescription. Nice way to start of the year!

![]() I like the aqua sphere seal because it gives you such a large field of vision. Different faces have different success with any of these brands. The second pair I got (which I am using for more than a year now) seems to have some trouble when I first get into the water, where it may leak a little, but after swimming for a while the problem goes away. I am guessing that somehow the seals swell with water and then become water tight.
As for anti-fog, the best recommendation I found (on this forum) was a couple of drops baby shampoo with water in a spray bottle. Works just fine for me. I apply it before each swim. |

The only downsides of the Vista (and I had/have 2) are it can fog up. The anti-fog lining inside can mark up the plastic. When removed it fogs easy given the larger amount of warm air inside the mask. Easy solution to this is spray a diluted J&J Baby shampoo water mix inside the lens and rinse before use. The only other negative of the Vista and probably Seal vs Kayenne is since the goggles/mask are further away from your head you probably have worse straight ahead sighting vision compared to goggles that are closer to your head - requiring you to lift the head slightly higher. While all other vision is great its really your straight up sighting line that counts. They all have compromises, I guess. Last edited by JustinD : 02-05-2013 at 03:08 AM. |
