  1. I'm looking for those ordinary straps that come with the swedish goggles. They never last very long
    and tear apart after a couple of months. Local stores here in Germany couldn't help me. Anyone knows
    an online-shop or anything else where I can get these replacement straps? Thanks for your help, Eike

    Go here and look around: kastawayswimwear.comdept.asp

    I see they have replacement straps but don't know which ones you fancy.

    good luck!

    Gee, I've had the same ones for years. I bought four expecting them to wear out. I use one pair for
    meets, one for training and have never even assembled the other two.

    good to hear that these last. i'm into my 2nd year of using my first pair of these goggles, which i
    love by the way. very cool looking... i got the model with the mirrored UV-rated lenses. very
    Terminator-ish. appropriate for tris.

    That's a neat online-shop. But they added 24$ (!!!) shipping costs to Germany. So I guess that's not
    what I want to do. Nevertheless, thanks for your help.

    Well, I certainly to have the ORIGINAL swedish goggles called "Monterbara Simglasögon" from Epsan
    Sports & Therapy. I also bought several pairs just as you did. The glasses hold up fine. They seem
    to be virtually unbreakable. But the head-strap that comes with the googles is really cheap. It's
    simply a white strap made of rubber that becomes porous after 3-4 months and eventually tears apart.
    My other goggles had silicone-straps that lasted for an eternity. I think it's due to the rubber
    that those straps don't last that long.

    You jinxed me. First my goggle strap broke. Then when I got to the office, my chronometer was dead.
    And today I found two holes in my Speedos.
