Little late but Re: goggles. I find these to be pretty much as good as any I've tried: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Malmsten-1710004-Swedish-Standard-Goggles/dp/B00B1PIKGE?th=1
Cost very little and you build them to fit your face. No rubber seals on the lenses so if they let in any water you know it's because you put them on wrong. Anything breaks, just replace it (or buy another set as it's usually cheaper).

You're actually not too late. I did buy the Zoggs Predator ones but they didn't fit at all so I returned them. Decided I should go and try some on instead, but never figured out where you can actually buy decent goggles in a physical shop any more.
If they've got the replaceable nose-bridge etc. then they might be alright for me. Might take a punt seeing as they're only £3.
Edit: enjoyed this guy's review: "I've got a narrow face and my eyes are quite close together, but my head is also quite bulbous and so quite big in circumference, considering how narrow it is."

Have to admit, I think goggles of all sorts look stupid as hell. Moderately concerned that I'm going to look like a complete prat the first time I get in a pool
