The Best Swim Goggles

I can't really vouch for these. The Hammacher Schlemmer people seem to love them though. Here's the details:

These swim goggles were selected best out of eight candidates for providing a watertight seal and superior comfort in tests conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. The goggles have a soft, one-piece flexible thermal plastic rubber frame with soft hypoallergenic gaskets, scoring best for suction in "press-on-fit" trials–a panelist who is a regular triathlon competitor commented that the goggles "stood in place with no leaks even after 50 laps." The goggles also scored best for comfort because panelists found that the lenses–made of cellulose propionate and curved to help reduce distortion–fit the best without causing pressure on eye sockets, prompting a panelist to declare them "far superior to any I've used before."

The goggles are $25, which surprized me, and you can grab a pair HERE.
