Really depends on the shape of your face to be honest but I really like the Zoggs predator range.

I get on really well with Aquasphere Vistas but they're aimed more at open water swimming.

In my swim bag I've got Maru swim caps and a couple of pairs of Aqua Sphere Kayenne's - for me they're excellent.

It's trial and error really - you'll soon find a pair you get on with!

Proswimwear.co.uk is excellent for swim stuff.

Depends what sort of swimming you are doing, competitive stuff in a pool or open water or tris? If the latter then something that is comfortable and perhaps clear or lightly tinted are the way forward. I find you can't go wrong with Speedo Swedish style for in the pool, with the string nose bridge for old skool cool. Bloody uncomfortable though!

Edit to add: during a clear out this afternoon, I came across an unused Speedo silicone cap still unopened (black). These last for years and seeing as I have about ten already I'll probably never have need of it. If you would like it, drop me a PM with your address and I'll pop it in an envelope. Just a small donation to your favourite charity in return smile

Me too - and I've really struggled to get good goggles for years.
