The last ones are swim goggles that seal based on the tightness of the band, not suction, so maybe not top choice. Hope these help! And if someone gives you sh!t just tell them your eyes are f#cked and to mind their own business.

 

rainX for your rX

tried rainX. it actually will bead more. rainX works at speed (created to clear windshields of race cars when wipers get jacked by high wind speed), so unless you are doing like 60 mph on a wave, it won't have the effect you need..

 

i use a simple tether wrapped around my neck or attached to wetsuit pull ...won't keep 'em on yer face but you won't lose 'em. just avoid crushing them as you duck dive....lost a lens that way 2 weeks ago

 

Thanks for the head's up and sharing the knowledge!

Got my TYR Aqua Shields and will give them a try today. Look like an alien in them but It beats the crap out of surfer's eye and just blood shot eyes in general.

 

http://www.swimlocker.com/TYR-Aqua-Shield-Metalized-p/t.laquasm.htm has them for $5!!! The order went thru so I'll post back if they arrive. Cost more to ship the suckers.

 

I guess we will all know eachother now out in the water- since we will be the only ones wearing sunglasses now while surfing lol

 

Nice tip on the aqua shields...at that price I couldn't resist snagging a few pairs to try out.

I debated buying those kurtis ones, but I cheaper out. I should probably suck it up and buy a pair. They seem like the real deal.

 

Call me crazy but i like the pain in my shoulders and arms. And the dry salt in my eyes. I even like the cold offshore wind trying to blow me off a wave in february.

 

Tried the aqua shields Saturday. They do cut on glare, didn't fog up once they acclimated, stayed put, (but I didn't get rag dolled in the knee high surf.) The water spots are distracting though. But you're going to get them on a hundred dollar pair of specs too. Good deal at about 12 dollars shipped.

 

I have decided to buy the Kurtis surf goggles for my kitesurfing since they have polaroid and seems to dont slip off. But, since I live in Sweden I have some distance for trying them out... Could you please help me?

I am thinking of the Kurtis duke surf goggles OR the Kurtis Makaha goggles. My question is how big is the duke goggles? And how small is the makaha? I think the makaha looks nicer but I am afraid that the are too small and the sun will get in from above or under. Is that correct?

Is it correct that Kurtis have full UV protection? Up to UV400?

i have tried te email Kurtis but I dont get any answers...

Thank you!
Henrik

 

i have not heard of these- but i do have an update- i got the SeaSpecs from amazon for like 30 bucks back in may. I wear them whenever the sun is out - specially dawn patrol. They are sick! I have not once had them come off- or even feel loose! Since then- everyone asks in the water about them- a few friends even ordered their own...

 

In the future there will be a pill you can take that can protect eyes and skin from sun damage.
It uses the same chemicals that coral reef uses naturally... It should be completed in ten years or something
like that.

 

Sorry, the adress is http://www.kurtisusa.com/

The sea specs sounds good... But the only protect from UV A and B dont C. I dont know how dangerous C is...

 

no fast cars, you're a cop....

 

I wear a hat with a wide brim and flaps over the ears. I attach it with a leash that goes to a shell grommet tied to my rash guard or wetsuit zipper pull. Perfect at east coast dawn +. The sun is my enemy.

 

C is probably just as bad as D, E, and F... don't forget about S.... lol

Seriously- i don't know! I would just get the cheaper pair that you like better! the kurtis ones look ok- but looks like they could come off easy...
