Oakley Line Miner L / M

The Line Miner is Oakley's cylindrical snow goggle, designed to maximise peripheral vision with its downward and side-to-side viewing angles. The low-profile frame sits closer to the face whilst staying helmet-compatible, making it practical for all-day skiing.

Why we rate it

The cylindrical lens design gives you a noticeably wider field of view than traditional spherical goggles, especially useful when you need to see what's happening to the sides and below the horizon line. The Plutonite® lens material is impact-resistant and treated with F3 anti-fog coating to keep things clear in variable conditions. Triple-layer face foam with polar fleece lining is comfortable and moisture-wicking, so your goggles stay dry inside and out.

Oakley's Prizm™ lens technology enhances contrast by filtering out light wavelengths that don't help you see terrain detail. Different Prizm variants (Sapphire, Torch, Rose Gold, Sage Gold, Argon) suit different light conditions and snow types—you can swap lenses later if you want to adapt to new snow or seasons.

Who it's for

Skiers who want a wider field of view and better contrast without bulk. The frame sits flat against the face, so it works well for helmeted skiers. Comes in medium and large sizes to fit different face shapes. Compatible with prescription eyewear (notches at temples).

Fit and feel

The cylindrical shape wraps around your head more than round goggles do, giving a snug, secure fit. The adjustable silicone strap spreads pressure evenly. Two sizes (M and L) cater to smaller and larger faces. Medium (OO7093) has a 40mm strap; Large (OO7070) has a 50mm strap. The low-profile design means less bulk around the bridge of your nose and temples—useful under a helmet or for people who dislike a tight goggle band on their forehead.

From the fitting room: Prizm lenses are worth the investment if you ski in mixed light a lot. Sapphire is sharp on sunny days; Torch or Rose Gold suit flat light. Some skiers keep two pairs and swap lenses rather than buy two whole goggles.
