Ordered six sets of Barracuda standard goggle foam replacement parts. Arrived promptly. $11.00 per unit
Prior to ordering, I corresponded with James, or others at Skyline Northwest. NO ONE told me was that the thickness of the foam had decreased by 25%, and that the foam manufacturer had changed.
I repeatedly told them that I had used my goggles over 20 years; they were that good and so comfortable. I was assured that this was the identical replacement part.
With both sides now fitted with the new foam, my goggles now leak consistently and constantly. They are strapped so tight against my skull, I get a headache after 30 minutes.
The new foam is decidedly porous and now so thin that they leave an indentation on my face.. That NEVER happened before. They are useless for ocean swimming as any tiny buffetting by any currents/waves makes the goggles not just leak, but flood.
Skyline pointed out that I was outside of the 30 day return period. So no recourse.
