Gear Nike Chrome Goggles World's Worst Goggle?

I have a pool and I needed some clear goggles to swim in.  I bought three pair of Nike Chrome goggles with clear lenses thinking that they would work fine for the pool while saving a few dollars over the cost of my favorite tri goggles.  No one in my family will wear these things.  First and foremost, they are the most uncomfortable goggles I or any of my kids have ever used.  The nose piece is too stiff and too short so it pulls the eyepieces towards your nose by digging into the eye sockets in the most uncomfortable way imaginable.  Next, you can only see straight forward through the lenses - there is no sense of peripheral vision.  Finally, the thermo plastic rubber gaskets on the eyepieces do not seal well. I couldn't even go from one end of the pool to the other without significant leakage.  It may be difficult to find the world's worst goggle, but the Nike Chrome goggles are certainly the worst pair I've ever used.  Hopefully, Nike either has some better models or will quickly improve its line.  At this point, though, I would not recommend Nike goggles for any triathlete.
