Claim:
Goggles, comprising: a lens cup having a peripheral rear edge; a seal portion extending around the peripheral rear edge, adapted to seal against a wearer's face; the seal portion having a medial region for location adjacent the nose of the wearer, a lateral region at an opposite end of the seal portion from the medial region, and upper and lower regions between the lateral and medial regions; the seal portion having a face contact surface and sidewalls extending either side of the face contact surface, the sidewalls connecting the face contact surface to the lens cup, the orientation of the face contact surface changing continuously in two or more of the x-, y- and z-directions of the lens cup as the face contact surface extends around the peripheral rear edge of the lens cup, the z-direction extending, when the goggles are worn, normal to the surface of the center of the wearer's eye and the x- and y-directions extending respectively, when the goggles are worn, horizontally across the wearer's face, and vertically across the wearer's face, the orientation of the face contact surface changing such that the face contact surface faces in substantially the same direction at the lateral and medial regions of the seal portion, wherein, (i) curved corner portions are provided at the transition between the sidewalls and the face contact surface, or (ii) the face contact surface blends into the sidewalls so that there are no corner portions, to provide a smooth transition between the face contact surface and the sidewalls.
