Most important to me is NO LEAKS since my eyes are sensitive to chlorine. Second most important is COMFORT, since I used to have a pair that was hard plastic that would cut into my face. I don't really care about price.

I have 3 pairs of Speedo women's vanquishers and they work fabulously (no leaks, comfortable, affordable). If I had to guess, I'd say vanquishers (not women's) would work just as well. They seem to be the exact same, in different color shades.
I use these goggles for lap swimming, workouts, lessons, warm-ups, cool-downs, and racing. They work like a charm!
Hope this helped.

Personally, i use Sweedish goggles, and while they are hard plastic without a gasket, if they fit well, and you can make sure they do, they are both comfortable and leak proof. i have had my current pair for five years, and i wear them everyday eleven months out of the year. however, most of my friend wear speedo vanquishers. if you want to have soemthing that has a gasketthat is your best bet. i work for a swim equipment dealer, and the vanquishers are the hot seller. they are hypoalgenic, and comfortable on your face if you like gaskets, which i do not, but every man to himself. In addition to new goggles i suggest that you get a bungee strap, becuase it will out last any stap that is orginal to the goggles, and it will be more comfortable, espically since you will have it forever, even if you break a few goggles.
Have fun in your goggle search.

When I look for goggles almost any brand is OK. However, you need to try the succion first. This means you hold the goggles on your eyes (but not the band) press the goggles on your eyes a little bit. They should stay on your eyes for a coupleof seconds...this means that the succion is good and you will not need to tighten them too much and they will not leak. I have recently come across these goggles without any foam or rubber. The brand is Swedish...I think they are awesome... took a little while to get used to them but they work fine... and not expensive at all.

I have Speedo Vanquishers and currently have 4 pairs of them! (and have had many more in the past 8 or so years!) They have a rubber socket and adjustable straps and come with different size nose pieces if you have a smaller or bigger face then the one that they sell it with. They run about $12-18 though, depending on where you buy them. If you order them online, you could order from about 15 different colors; usually in the stores there's just tinted black or clear.
p.s. don't get goggles with foam sockets... the foam just peels away from the eye piece and leaks!

TYR makes an excellent pair. They have not only the adjustable head strap, but also an adjustable nose bridge piece with a soft foam (water proof) around the eye socket. They retail for about $24.99. Little pricey, but they work well.
Good Luck

I'm not sure what the brand is but I know they are called aquaspheres, they wrap all the way around your head so they never come off (I have used them for about 10 months and haven't had one problem with them) and are very comfortable.

I usually use Speedo Hydrolex. They are excellent. If you have a smaller, naworer face then you might want to look into getting JR. Hydrolex.
