Goggles redux

[andygates]

The Swedish goggles arrived today and no, they won'y be going in the dressing-up box. I like these.

They're ridiculously basic: two hard plastic eye-cups (mine are the bling mirror ones 'cos I dislike eye contact while training), a rubber headstrap which doubles up, and a bit of string to connect the eyecups. Yes, string. Yes, you assemble them yourselves and have to tie a whole knot. They fit right in the orbit and seal dead tight - though Sam, I think they'd probably push out your plastic eye. Because there are no frames, visibility is excellent. You need to reprogramme your brain to parse the weird refraction around the edges but that only took about ten lengths. And then they're kinda like magic underwater eyes, very low drag or interference and really very lovely.

They're as simple and effective (and gnarly radical) as a fixed-gear bike. Me likey.

Have you managed to totally murderbleachkill your eyebrows, or have they somehow got sucked into gogglespace?

Murderbleachkill. This B-Blonde stuff is a tad harsh, neh?
