Default Recommend a decent set of goggles please

Yes, yes, not the most interesting topic. I realise that most of you who have strayed into here are now asleep, but for those who are not...

I have recently taken up swimming again and would like a decent set of goggles that:
1) don't fog up
2) don't leak
3) don't sink

You would think that is easy, but I have a really expensive pair of Speedos from a "few years" ago. They are in great condition, but have always leaked, always misted up...and they don't float Clearly buying expensive is not always best

(just who thought making goggles that did not float was a good idea )

There are some called Eagle Goggles. £15 from Aqua Sphere 0870 0587000. Swimwear, Womens Swimwear, and Swimsuits from Simply Swim UK. They have 180 degree of vision, with anti-fog and anti-scratch lenses. there are two interchangeable lenses (one dark and one clear). I've never had them, but were reviewed in the Telegraph months ago and got 4 stars, so I kept the article.

wow, this place is so cool

Anywhere else and people would have just laughed at me for asking such a silly question.

I will look into all of those suggestions The beer goggles are of course the best, but also the most temporary

Not sure on floating, isn't the idea to keep them on your eyes ? Could always tie a balloon to them if it's a problem.
