Poster: A snowHead
|
I currently own a pair of Flight Deck goggles, which I purchased a short while before the launch of the XM version. I'm more than pleased with the performance of them, but can't help wondering if the XM would suit me better size wise.
So, my question is... Has anyone switched from the original Flight Deck to Flight Deck XM's?
As a side, is anyone attending the EoSB who owns the XM version? If so, would you mind if I tried them for size during that week?

I own FDs and my daughter owns the XMs - and my opinion is that if the FDs are comfortable, then stick with them, as they have even better all round vision than their smaller sibling.
If the FDs are too big, then the XMs should be perfect. If you don't like the way you look in FDs, that is a matter of aesthetics....and it's your money.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Scarlet, many thanks, will do.
@Old Fartbag, Yes, the FD's are comfortable and fit well. Just not 100% sure if they're slightly on the too big side. Probably would never have been an issue if they'd never released the XM's. Just curious I guess.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have the FD and my OH has the FD XM’s. The only difference is the size, nothing else. My FD’s have a slightly wide range but performance is identical. I won’t say I have a big head but prefer the FD’s and still fit snug with my helmet.

That's also the case with mine.
Is this not the case with XM's?

@Izzop, My OH's XM's fit snug too. Maybe she has a slightly smaller head and helmet combo.

It's also the case with me.
The XMs have a bigger field of vision that my A Frames, but not as big as the FDs. If the FDs didn't exist, I would be quite happy in XMs...but they do and as I like as wide a peripheral vision as possible, I went for them.

I've got a big head, but was really surprised by how well the FD's fitted me when I tried them on in Austria last week. Oakley are usually small on me, but these had a great fit and good peripheral vision.
