I have always used speedo goggles for as long as I can remember, there are several different styles to suit all faces and price range, goggles can be quite individual and what suits one sometimes doesn't suit another, for me the futuras fit my deep eye sockets really well they rarely leak and once I have adjusted them I never have to touch them for the duration of the goggles life. I also find the wide lens of the futuras gives me a good field of view which is particularly useful for open water swimming where sighting is necessary The anti fog is o.k from new however after a month it tends to wear off, I use fairy liquid to solve this in mine, i mix it with water, swill it round the goggles lens and pack them away for my next swim, I then swill them out in fresh water just before I swim, I have two pairs of these goggles, its always good practice to have a spare pair in case a problem arises on the day of a race, I own a pair of dark tinted goggles for bright conditions and a high contrast blue for dull light, this covers me for all eventuality's I like to replace my goggles after a year of use as after time and poor storage on my behalf the rubber gaskets sometimes fold up and begin to leak, by having two pairs I can lengthen the life of my goggles by alternating which pair I wear. the only minor issue I have with these goggles is the transparent trap soon fades to a dull shade with the constant abuse from the chlorine in the pool.
