If you're looking for a pair of goggles that will be far easier on your budget than the rest of your tri gear, we'd consider the TYR Velocity Swim Goggles. Shaped with racing in mind, the goggles feature a low profile to minimize drag in the water, and they're FINA approved for sanctioned swim races as well as triathlon. TYR uses its trademark soft DURAFIT silicone to construct the gaskets and create a tight seal against stinging water, with lenses that adeptly block out harmful UVA/UVB rays while you're swimming outdoors. The goggles also let you skip the spit-before-you-swim trick by including a trusty anti-fog coating on the lenses, and you can make sure the goggles fit just right by choosing from one of the three included nosepieces.
