Oakley (Line Miner/Fall Line XR) goggles

Bit off topic but do you prefer cylindrical like LM/FL over the spherical ones like FB FT?
Personally cylindrical, just always have felt it fits my face a little better. Yea you can lose a little view compared to a spherical but if your a good skier/snowboarder it shouldn’t be an issue. Also depends on how it sits with your helmet. I personally don’t wear a helmet a lot unless I’m back country (which the new mod BC helmet with def be a purchase) so the cylindrical seems to fit a little better. We do find as employees that people who wear helmets prefer spherical, if that really changes it that much we don’t really know because it’s all preference.

I wear the lid all the time due to track record with concussions, an have historically been a spherical goggle wearer with exception of a smith squad I have a while ago for night skiing. Although with the current sales it seems like I can pick up 2 pairs of line miner goggle + low light and clear lenses to cover me for all conditions with my voucher. Figure I'll go to a shop today try on the LM model with the helmet and see if they fit well. Thanks

Yea the LM is a solid pair and I love my prizm clear, if you can find a lowlight lens as well keep that, those can be pretty hard to find.

I never liked HI Pink, I prefered the HI Yellow I had at the time over them or Prizm Rose. I worry the Prizm Iced will be just like HI Pink in a different mirror color.

They don't seem to ever had offered non-prizm lenses for the LM except Clear, so I'm split between Prizm Clear or Prizm Persimmon as I can't add both in the cart + the 2 complete goggles.

Personally I like prizm clear but if you don’t like a rosy lens than persimmon is always nice (not my preference but very popular)

I loved the original pink ird that was based on a clear lens and vr46 pink was nice too. HI pink was just too pink saturated for me, the prizm clear seems similar to the prizm low light in terms of saturation probably even less.

Way less saturation then low light, still wish low light was made but clear will def work
