I plan on doing plenty of pool swimming in the next few months to get fit while combating some arthritis.

Any recomendations for goggles? comfy, any lens colours etc? I imagane it may be mainly down to fit but worth asking the question.

otherwise ill just get some speedos.

thanks

It's all fit, tbh. And availability; there is not much choice if you buy at the gym/pool.

Unless you're competitive, fit.

In all honesty, I've always found smaller 'lenses' a better fit, as they squeeze into the recess of the eye and are less affected by bone structure of the face.

Get some form of mirroring or smoked lens. With the sun coming through a window it can catch in your eyes when you turn to take a breath. wink

I've got the Zoggs and these, but in orange.

I've found the Speedo's simply don't leak. Of the two I would choose the Speedo every time.

Go purely on fit as said.

Just mail ordered some Speedo ones that won a 220Tri review. First swim and had a goggle full of water. Just didn't fit my eye socket well. Zogg Predators still my personal fav.
