When it comes to durable and high-quality snow goggles, Oakley is always a good choice. But some of you might be confused about these two models and we totally get why. Oakley Flight Deck and Oakley Flight Deck XM look so similar, is there actually any difference? Yup, there is. Let us explain below.
Basically, the main difference between these two models of popular snow goggles is the size.
