Oakley Fall Line vs Line Miner

[AlwaysGrabBlunt]

So I'm buying a new pair of goggles and I'm in between the Oakley Fall line and Line miner (both in Large). I've tried both on with my helmet and honestly, I feel like the Fall Line is the better goggle, despite the bigger goggle the bridge of the nose is set higher up so both goggles feel about the same on the face with the Fall Line having a larger FOV imo especially the downward view. So that gets me wondering why all of the Oakley pros, and it seems everyone else swears by the Line Miner? Am I missing something about them?

Because fall Line L/XL makes you look like a fly with them bug eyes

nah that the flight deck

Nah man I used to sell both. Fall line’s look ridiculously big on most people

So your saying pure style is the only advantage of the Line Miner.

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

Yes and price. It’s a direct competitor to smith squad.

we’ll also frameless vs framed but I wouldn’t say style is the only “advantage”. It’s just what people prefer

So the line miners won't turn me into a pro?

You need a frames for that

i use the line miner, i agree with [tag=273152]@BradFiAusNzCoCa[/tag] that the fall line is just too large. it takes up too much space on my face and i didn't notice a huge difference if any in field of view. the flight deck has a higher FOV but also looks kinda weird to me

 

[muffMan.]

I got fall lines L. I like them but kinda like the style of line miners a bit more. Fall lines however are “supposed” to have a higher FOV but that’s subjective

Here’s a pic I took hiking or something idk. Depends on what your helmet size is too

Oakley claims they are “large” but what they really are is ginormous

It's probably just because they've been wearing the Miners for a long time. I see a lot of competitors wearing Fall Lines too though! But it doesn't really matter. Wear the ones that work best for you
