Nice review. How about the difference in internal volume of these goggles? I feel like both of the newer models has lenses that sit closer to your face, not as close/flush as the Line Miner but closer than the Flight Deck. This gives you better peripheral vision all around.
You are onto something there! The Flight Trackers toric lens is a blend of a spherical and cylindrical lens so it would sit a bit closer to your face than the spherical lens on the Flight Deck and Flight Path XL.
I'm really confused about Flight Deck sizes. Flight Deck Standard, Flight Deck XM, XL and now Flight Deck M and L. Could someone kow what replacement lenses should I choose for Flight Deck L?
It was an Oakley marketing change to reduce the confusion. The old name XM = M. The old XL = L. If you look at the current line up of goggles on Oakley's website, you won't see any with the XM or XL. Bonus though, while the naming scheme has changed the goggles and lenses have not, which means if you are wanting to save some bucks for the exact same goggle (except for the box tag) then shop for the XM or XL version which are being cleared out by many stores.
While not technically qualified as OTG goggles, these models may provide enough room to be worn with glasses. However, there is a far better solution... SportRx Prescription Goggle Inserts! Click here to learn more 👉www.sportrx.com/oakley-prescription-snow-goggle-insert.html
Hi, I have a question about goggle sizes, I am currently wearing an Oakley mod5 Medium size helmet, is it preferable to buy M size goggles also or can I go with L size to have a wider view? Thanks!
Sorry to get at this video a little later in the process. But is there any physical size difference on the flight paths?between what used to be L (only size available) and now XL (only size available. I bought some last year and I dont have the box anymore, and there is no size markings so i dont know which ones I have. And i am very interested jn getting additional replacement lenses?
Hi Eric! Oakley recently changed the sizing from XL to L for most of their larger goggle models. Most size differences in the new models will de defined as M or L.
Are there any updates to the flight path that would make them a better choice over the flight deck since they are newer? I prefer the design of the flight deck with the black iridium lens but don't want to miss out on any new developements.
Hi there! I would say you should stick with the Flight Deck. If anything the Flight Path XL is ever so slightly larger and there is a rim on the top of the goggle. Both differences are hardly noticeable. I hope this helps!
@Carl Martin Lind, @Scott, I completely agree as well. This "review" was not helpful at all. It did not offer anything that isn't in a Oakley brochure.
@@sportrxeyewear Well, 1) you could provide a better view of the side by side aspects... like dimensions (typically mysteriously missing on the Oakley website) and showing far out from a dummy face and how high the top rim is for the various goggles. 2) You show a cool color spectrum display, but what about showing a "field of view" display (and for the different sizes) which would be as equally valuable?
100% agree. All of these reviews are useless and mostly just plugs for the RX insert or SMU. I don't live in the US, I can't get an insert, I need OTG, how about doing a real world review for OTG users. Dimensions are required, show the goggle being worn without the lens so we can see the clearance and fit. Put some glasses on and do it again. These are all basically the same frame/chassis with a different lens. If I am wrong, then unless you give us a proper review how are we supposed to see the differences?
Hey Andrew, Does Oakley plan on releasing a rimless snow goggles with Toric lens? like an upgrade to the awesome Fall Line XL or a toric version to the fall line XL?
Hi Mike! We do not yet know what is in the plans for next year but if I had to guess I would say a toric rimless option would be a safe bet! If you are looking for a large goggle the Fall Line XL is great!
@@sportrxeyewear I love the fall line XL (I own the Airbrake XL) and was looking to upgrade however I wanted to know if future models will be with toric lenses (benefits of both worlds). I also wait for the Fall line React (which may or may not get released)
Hi! Thanks for checking it out. The Flight Tracker XM is built to fit with most helmets on the market. If it fits your face, there shouldn't be any helmet compatibility issues.
They are pretty comparable overall. Some prefer the cylindrical design and feel like it offers more peripheral vision. Also, the more rectangular shape give a bit more 'lens real estate', as it were. If the most peripheral is the most important thing, then stick with what you have. If you're interested in getting a spherical lens, that offers the best optical clarity, then go with the Flight Path!
Well.. it's clear that nothing is clear.. Saying other words: You want to looks like a pilot take flight deck, if you have already one take flight path ))) If You want something more squarish take flght tracker. Is the other stuff is just stupid marketing means nothing? Is there any serious difference by the fov? Btw the rimles design gives nothing to make bigger fov coz the cloth layers befor the lens is still presenting... Cheap talk..
I have narrowed my next choice down to Oakley or Anon. With every video the peripheral lens is discussed when describing about seeing the sides of the goggles. I have issues with seeing the frame when trying to look down to my feet. What would be the best goggle to NOT see the frame when looking down?
Great question, Mike! Any goggle with a rimless bottom would mean there is no frame to interrupt your views. One goggle that could work is the Oakley Flight Deck: www.sportrx.com/blog/sportrx-flight-deck-xm/ Hope this helps!
@@sportrxeyewear Thank you very much. Thoughts on Flight Deck vs Fall Line in regards to my question? Ive searched and there isn't a video comparing the two...
I had issues with the XM/M size Flight Deck. The lens sits further out than I anticipated and so even though there is no external bottom frame, the inner frame which the goggle uses to attach the lens does obstruct my downward vision. Even though the Flight Deck have a larger inner opening than my older Crowbars, the Flight Deck have poorer downward vision to the point where I sometime feel like I have a touch of vertigo. Swapping out the XM/M to a XL/L resolved the issue and actually fit my face a bit better.
