rf_fozzy Jun 2017 12:31pm, 20 Jun 2017 8,028 posts	0 rf_fozzy Can someone recommend me googles that don't fog up in OW and have quite wide eye bits please. Mine are useless and are uncomfortable to wear as they press into my eye sockets when I have them tight enough to prevent them leaking.

Comfortable & never leaked, they only fog up a little when waters nearly freezing

Little Nemo Jun 2017 8:01pm, 30 Jun 2017 7,652 posts	0 Little Nemo It's an Orca Equip and I think I may have found one of the last small ones out there. Tried a couple on in the shop which weren't quite right and then tried the Equip in medium which was fabulous but just a bit too big. They weren't able to order a small for me as Orca have run out but I found one on a website. I feel bad for the shop as they were v. helpful so I'll go back next week to buy a bag or something.
