Making Your Swimwear Choice
Visibility is key; for example, some pairs of goggles have tinting to them. Blue tinting is fine in a chlorinated pool but horrible in the ocean. Others actually have holographic images on them – these are usually relegated to the realm of childrens' goggles, but competitors might blink twice if they look at you and see sharks in your eyes! Some goggles will simply be designed to emphasize peripheral vision while minimizing your sight downrange, and others the opposite.
Nose-pieces are another issue altogether. In some cases [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it boils down to one’s facial structure; bluntly, if you have a big nose, you’ll need a large gap between the two goggles in order to accommodate it. There are many types of adjustable nose-piece, but these, like so many small plastic devices, are prone to failure. Then again, a small but solid piece of plastic is still plastic, and can still tear easily.
The first step in picking a perfect pair of goggles is to decide what you’re going to use them for. Are you going to be snorkeling? If so, you need to get a pair designed for that particular sport. If you’re racing, you’ll want a sleek pair, one that minimizes water resistance. For anything else, a “basic” pair will do – two eye-pieces tied together by a strap that fits snugly over your head. You don’t want a pair that’s too loose; if they come off when, for example [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pushing off of a pool wall, then you’ve got a problem. If they’re too tight, they’ll hurt – and egregiously tight goggles can lead to serious headaches.

Another source of irritation for goggles purchasers is the eye-piece itself. “Swedish” style goggles lack eye-pieces (gaskets) altogether, along with nose-pieces - this can be uncomfortable for some swimmers. Plastic or latex gaskets are effective at sealing out water and cushioning the eye, but with one simple tear the entire pair of goggles can be ruined. Foam gaskets are either a blessing or a curse; a good set of foam-gasket goggles will last forever, while some foam gaskets will tear on the very first use.
The Anatomy of Goggles
Finally [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], its easy to say what you don’t want in a pair of goggles, but to find what y
One of the most important aquatic accessories for the modern swimmer, be he casual, recreational, or competitive, a good pair of goggles allows the bather exactly what they advertise – sight underwater. There’s a fair number of brands and a huge number of designs, and it can be tricky to find a pair of goggles that’s just right; after all, if it was as simple as saying, “I want a pair that keeps water out of my eyes,” there wouldn’t be many types at all.
An adjustable headband is the key to preventing this problem of cranial compression, and is “standard” with most goggles, but be careful with your choice here, as this is frequently what sets “good” pairs apart from “bad.” Some goggles have complicated adjustment mechanisms that are at best a nuisance and at worst might as well be broken – the headband will slide out of the adjustor every time, requiring them to be tied off and effectively kept at a certain distance. Another thing to watch out for is the headband itself; many pairs of goggles are made with an elastic band that can easily tear if pulled too tightly. This is an especially common complaint; one alternative is to use a thin strip of bungee cord with a plastic slide for quick adjustments.
