I need swimming goggles that don't leave me with panda eye marks....

I don't swim regularly (maybe 3/4 times a month) but I'm fed up with my cheap goggles a) leaking a bit and b) leaving me with rings under my eyes for an hour after I've taken them off.

What style / brand are the best? A colleague reckons speedo futura (?) are decent goggles.

I really like my Aquasphere goggles, no leaks nor panda eyes

I got a pair of air cushioned goggle my son from Zoggs that claim to give you "no panda eyes". Would definitely recommend!

It really is down to the individual.

I find cost doesn't really come into it for the most part. The best goggles are the ones that fit your head shape best. None of them should really be leaving "panda eyes" because you shouldn't really have to have the strap on that tight.


When looking for goggles try them on without putting the strap around your head....if they stay on without that support, they will be best suited to you.

I have Aquasphere Eagles, and as they aren't in the eye socket, they don't leave marks
