I couldn't agree more with Bill Parks. Although you want to solve a proble
m you may be creating a legal nightmare.

a strap protector has alleviated the problem. The two links below are exam

e position if it is moved up or down slightly. Does anyone know of goggles
which use an alternative strap position, or perhaps that don't use straps?
I've had no luck in locating any.
