Gosh darn goggles

So, I have like 5 pairs of goggles...I would just keep buying new ones that i thought would actually not fog up . . .this was all before I discovered the spit stuff that defogs goggles . . .BUT I had gotten a great pair about 4 months ago. They worked great, and combined with the spit stuff were the BOMB . . .then out of the blue they are taking in water . . .WTH??

This is a workout killer when you are going along and they just start filling up. I keep trying them hoping the problem will resolve itself, but clearly I am just stupid. But this morning I put them on and they worked great until they started to fog and I took them off, sprayed them, put them back on and we were taking on water again.

Switched to other ones, but darn it . . .just needed to vent . . .i just want a pair of goggles that won't fog up, and won't take on water . is that REALLY too much to ask for????

    I hear you girl. I had to readjust mine the other day because I was seeing double lines. Can be a little nauseating. Check to see if the goggle lens is in the groove correctly and sometimes I just didn't have it on my face just right. Who knows?

    The seals wear after awhile & just don't hold as well. when I'm swimming 5 days a week at the gym I get about 2 months out of a pair of goggles, so I always make sure I have a spare brand new pair in my bag. As soon as the ones I'm wearing are beyond redemption I break out the spare set & then go & pick up a new spare set. As for fogging, I don't have trouble during my set, if they're fogged when I go to put them back in place I just dip them under the water, pour out what's in there, put them back on & go on my merry way........

    Agree with always having a spare. I realised that I have an odd shaped face when it took me 10 different styles/makes to finally find ones that fitted properly and didn't fog or leak (Zoggs Women's Fusion Air Swimming Goggles). I went and bought 5 pairs of these in case they stop making them. Even swimming every day they last about 5 months.
