Goggles

secman

Have been using Eyeline goggles for last 20 years or so, used to pick them up in Stewarts sports centre. My last pair are now seriously letting water in, just rang Stewarts , they no longer stock Eyeline and now stock Zoggs.
A couple of ceist, anyone know where I can pick up Eyeline goggles and second one, anyone out there recommend the Zoggs ?
Just using them in the sea, not able to train in pool , water not cool enough for the shoulders....rotator cuff stuff 😢

Thanks

I've been using Zoggs Predator Flex for a while now, 3rd pair. They seal really well for me. Their failure mode (for me) seems to be at the nose bridge where 2 pairs have come apart.

My Zoggs are polarised and with the summer we are having I wanted/needed a clear goggle and bought a pair from TYR last week. Two swims, one pool one OW and perfect seal and vision both times.

Zoggs Predator Flex for me too - have 3 or 4 pairs in rotation. Polarised lenses a must for me and I find these a perfect fit and never move/leak, unless I get hit.

My zogg predator snapped on the nose too.. Moved on to arena now

Mixed reviews on the Zoggs, really would like to stick to Eyeline...they were selling them up to a few months ago in Stewarts SC, must dig a bit more, someone is the agent in ROI.....

Coolmine Sports & Leisure Centre near the Blanchardstown Centre sells Eyeline, or at least it did the last time I was there. I also like Eyeline goggles & often stock up with a couple of pairs whenever I am home - I find the elastic strap starts to go after a few months of wear, and will eventually snap.

I've started mixing wearing Eyeline with Speedo Vanquishers, which seem good so far. I haven't really liked Speedo goggles in the past, but so far these have been grand, and there's a good choice of colours etc., including mirrored lenses if you swim outdoors.

Ah that's disappointing to know. Though I suppose at least I invested in the vanquishers. Good luck in your search, finding the right pair of goggles can be tough!

At a last resort I emailed Eyeline Australia enquiring as to who is their irish agent/distributor and I got the details overnight !
I will contact them today and hopefully get retailers names, will let you know how I get on.

Spoke to the agent, they mainly deal in pool maintenance, goggles seem to be a sideline, their pc was on the blink and the receptionist had difficulty in remembering where they were stocked by retailers. ... basically they tend to stick with leisure centres.... they seemed unaware they had lost 2 customers ... the 2 that I was aware of , both of which had changed to stpcking the Zoggs.
But they will sell some to me a, judging by what they quoted me..there's a decent mark up on them. Probably can only name them by PM ?
