Goggles for lady's small eye sockets....

ocisorrenta

Hello all,
I've got fairly small eye sockets and have tried probably six different goggles over the years, but still haven't found a pair that fit perfectly.
Here's what I've tried most recently:

Speedo futura ice: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/speedo-futura-ice-plus-goggles/
Can't get these to not leak.

Aqua sphere Kayenne: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/aqua-sphere-ladies-kayenne-goggles/
These sit funny under my eye brows and sometimes give me a headache.

I don't compete in the pool, just train for fitness and some open water swims.

Any ideas?

Have you looked at these? These took me a little time to get used to wearing but once I did have never looked back.

some of the speedo junior goggles are pretty small and might work for you

also theres those mask type goggles where the seal is on your forehead and below the eyes but they're not for everyone. very bulky.

zoggs do some female specific goggles - think mine are athena. Not 100% happy with them but I have a big head.

I have a big head and I have also tried the Speedo ones you mention and found them a very poor fit.

both of your recent goggles don't come with adjustable nose pieces, which to me is a deal breaker.

The larger the area the goggle seals cover the higher probability they have of leaking (in my opinion). I've had one of those aquasphere masks and I thought it was muck.

I'm a fan of speedo speedsockets. They have three different nose piece sizes and don't have huge seals like the ones you've tried.

This may sound funny, but I recently picked up a set of Nike Goggles to swim with. They fit perfectly and didn't leak at all. Just a really comfortable set of goggles.

A week later, I was playing in a water polo game (sans goggles). I took a deflected shot to the side of my face and heard my my nose 'pop'. Didn't really bother me at the time, but now when I swim with these goggles don't fit across the bridge of my nose.

I figure that the shot actually popped my nose back into place after all these years. I am actually breathing better through my nose for the first time in many years.

brilliant! you got a good nose again but need to get another set of goggles. everyone's a winner including the goggle manufacturers :-)

I went through a lot of different goggles with various issue until I came across the speedo speedsockets. I needed the bigger nose clip too so handy this came with different nose clips. My only issue with the ones I have is 1. I have the mirror ones as I bought them for OW and they can be a bit dark in the pool. 2. my eyelashes touch the socket but thats just my stupid girlie long eyelashes :rolleyes:

I recently gave a pair to one of the girls at the pool and she loves them
