Thank you so much for making a video like this. I struggle a lot with goggle marks, and since the beginning of last week, they have gotten extremely bad. My goggles have lightened and sort of bleached the skin it rests on, so I basically have white marks all day long. It's been so hard finding other people both in person and online that struggle with this too. They've gotten so bad that I almost cry every time I look at my face in the mirror and can't go to school without feeling super insecure. I've tried so many concealers and foundations to cover them and nothing has worked. This week, I'll try putting moisturizer around my eyes and experimenting with my goggle fit. I already have the Trihard swimmer eye gel on my wishlist. Thank you!!!! ❤❤❤
This is a huge problem of mine. Tried many goggles, none was better than the other. So sunglasses it is. It is a fortunate thing that bike and run still comes after a swim, so there is a time for it to vanish, before I get to the finish line, and people could notice. 😂
Have you tried out custom-fitted goggles? Our goggles differ to other brands as they don't rely on suction to keep the water out. We also have a fit guarantee so if you are not happy with them then we will give you a full refund ✨
After trying about 8 different makes/styles of goggles i resorted to face mask type goggles. No problems or worries since. This was mostly to prevent leakage rather than 'goggle eyes' ....im not that vain😉
I like using the Aquasphere vistas that have a skirt on it. You get lines on your forehead, and around cheek bone, but it goes away quickly. I'd prefer that than racoon eyes that can accelerate having permanent eye bags.
A long time ago, I heard some one say that to test the fit of the goggles, put them over your eyes, and give a light push. They should form a slight vacuum and stay in place. I have a very wide face, and every pair I get I never even consider the smaller nose bridge pieces. Always go to the largest one. Some will fit and some won't. If you cinch them up too tight, that makes for a headache.... I do need to try the Magic 5 ones. I wish they came with the sweep smooth curve rather than the facets.
@@themagic5goggles Well, with any other goggles that have facets in them, they kind of give me double vision. Can't see how they would help peripheral vision at all. In part, I can't understand how they could be better than just a swept back design. I am a pool swimmer. I have been accused of 'over analyzing' things....
@@robohippy I completely understand your concern for double vision! This would be an issue if the lens bend in the middle of your sightline, but on our goggles, the bend is just below this, and the fact is that you don't notice the angled panels, especially not when you are in the water. All four panels were designed to enhance your peripheral vision and give you a feeling that you are not "boxed in", but rather are able to see everything that is going on around you. This is also one of the qualities that we have received most positive feedback about (along with the level of comfort), so I would say it works as planned ✨ I hope this makes sense, otherwise please don't hold back if you have any other questions or concerns we can help you with 🥰
Great video!! My swim session was brutal yesterday in large part due to putting on eye cream beforehand - never again!! My Roka goggles leak a lot, trying to get them to fit better as they are great tint for indoors. For outdoors I use HUUB and absolutely love them!!
We have many clear tints for indoor swimming if you are interested in a leak-free experience 🥰 (And we have a fit guarantee on all of our goggles so if you are not happy with them then we will give you a refund instead).
Man, there is so much, what you can advice about goggles, but you just presented the magic5 and a moisturizer. I see people everyday, wearing the straps wrong, not knowing the importance of nose bridge, not knowing how to store the goggles, how to differenciate between indoor and outdoor glass, what’s the difference between single strap on the sides and double strap (which is super annoying off the wall). But „you have to try a few pairs out” is all I can call helpful in this video. (Btw. I use magic5 and they are the most comfortable)
@@princethumper yes, the goggles are perfect fit, (relief for me, I have kind of skinny face), and fog free if you store them dry. However, the manufacturer accidentaly made a hole in my goggles, and sent it without noticing. After my e-mail they immediately sent a perfectly good pair, so I still think it’s a solid company worth a try.
True and the visibility even /especially in the non info eye is DREADFUL. I love them in every other way but it feels like I’m 50 thousand leagues under the sea. Awareness is zero.
I had allergic reaction from silicone socket material around goggles once. I couldn’t swim until the reaction went away. My current goggles are actually for teens. I do get marks but not allergy (rim is rubber material). I also don’t leave them in the car like before.
Not so much. I have had goggle fit that was bad enough i had a sore on the outside of my eye bones and it kept me out of the pool for a few days. Fit is important. Just like chamois/saddle.
Just on your point of smelling like chlorine and disguising it...Did you know that chlorine has no smell and only gets the typical chlorine smell once you ad urine to it. Check out Mark Rober's channel who did the experiments to prove this. Anyways on that note maybe it's best to scrub that smell off before going to work otherwise you are literally wearing other people's urine for perfume all day.
"Speed google" or the Swedish elite googles, hard plastic no soft rubber or silicone. No need to cringe. At least try them before you judge. They are perfectly comfortable for me and leaves goggle marks.
That vid is cleary a hidden stunt for a certain brand of goggles... I hate those videos where I feel I am seeing too much of a sponsor, and only that same brand over and over again. That said, I will only buy Magic5 when they will merge with Forms. Right now, I do have the choice between a game changer to help me know what I am doing when training, and a said game changer in terms of fitting. I choose the former. But I would like to have both simultaneously: a customized goggle giving me metrics while I swim.
Speedo elite. Expensive but at least not a waste of money as with the so called scan-your-face-and-get-the-perfect-goggles… the later one is not magic at all 😢
What are your tips for not getting goggle lines (besides not swimming)? 🤔
My brain short circuited and I read the thumbnail as „Stop getting goggles, Mark“ and I was like… how many goggles does Mark have? 😅
Glad to know I am not alone with my goggle eye struggles. Will try using a moisturizer to act as a barrier. Thanks!

Speedo Vanquisher - cheap, durable, and comfortable.
And gives me goggle marks like no other! Maybe my face is not ment for them :/

Puffer jacket, scarf, beanie... how cold was it while Heather was filming this? But the show must go on. What a trouper.
At least she was filming outside of the water....
Probably about 30 degrees. She feels the cold! (As do I)

The angles helps with the peripheral - you will particularly notice this in open water! :)

Most their stuff lately it's glorified advertising, that said do you recommend the magic goggles? I've been contemplating it for ages

@@magdak8491 sorry to hear about the faulty pair - happy to hear my customer service team helped you out!
Br Rasmus, Founder THEMAGIC5
We love our eye gel even when we do not swim to reduce puffiness; it is a game changer!!
What is the name of your eye gel?
@@nadinetengco9911 TRIHARD Pre & Post Swim Eye Gel 🤩
For me - google marks and chlorine smell are quite attractive!:)
Somebody needs to forward this video to ‘Form’ - love the googles, but they’re like pizza cutters after a long session…
That is true, right!?
True and the visibility even /especially in the non info eye is DREADFUL. I love them in every other way but it feels like I’m 50 thousand leagues under the sea. Awareness is zero.
That is why I'm here 🙂
MAGIC5, they are a game changer
Woo-hoo this makes us so happy to hear 🥳
Struggling with the goggles always.. I have 6/7 pair, still looking for the perfect one 😅
You should test out our custom goggles - if you don't like them we will do a full refund!
I have a eye mask that I put in the freezer (cloth backed) that is great for if you cry, might be trying that after swims too
I had allergic reaction from silicone socket material around goggles once. I couldn’t swim until the reaction went away. My current goggles are actually for teens. I do get marks but not allergy (rim is rubber material). I also don’t leave them in the car like before.
My wife uses those rollers, and they are surprisingly effective. She keeps it in the freezer right next to the ice cream 😂
The two hat thing seems
To help keep goggles in place without any pulling backwards at all-for me anyway.
After many goggles I finally have a pair that work great. Now what to do with the ones that are piling up in the drawer? Cheers.
I wear open water larger goggles to avoid the goggle eye problem
I use a cold gua sha with my skincare products and it removes more than 50% of the goggle marks in a minute or two
Just embrace the goggle marks! It's for a good cause!
Not so much. I have had goggle fit that was bad enough i had a sore on the outside of my eye bones and it kept me out of the pool for a few days. Fit is important. Just like chamois/saddle.
@@janemf echo! Go Custom ;)
Can you post a link for the pre and post eye serum.... I need this in my life.
How about a video on prescription goggles and the best types, although you might have to get some new myopic presenters 😁👍

Speedo Vanquishers are the only ones that don't bruise my face but they don't seem to be sold in the UK. WHY?

I cannot get over how broken the plant pot is in the video but at least the plants look pretty...
Should you wear goggles over or under the swim cap?
Try latex hat then goggles then silicone hat on top. Keeps everything in place without any pulling.
Folks I regard this a badge of authenticity like eau de chlorine and swimmers bod

Magic5 look cool but their customer service is horrible and Speedos are just as comfortable and 1/3 of the price.
Gee, 3 minutes to state that you should find goggles that fit your eye socket shape and then 3 minutes of .....
If only Magic5 would do some prescription goggles .. #firstcomment 🙂
I would buy those! The worst part of swimming is not being able to see
@@rebekahharrison check the decathlon ones. Amazing for everyday pool training
