Line Miner vs Line Miner Asia Fit

From my understanding, Oakley's Asia Fit models just have an extra layer of padding around the nose. Is this true? I'm confused because I have read that the Asian models are flatter, a different shape, etc. I'm specifically asking about the Line Miner specifically because I'd love the Henrik Harlaut model but I don't want to get them and have them not fit as well as the originals. Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse but all of the threads I've been reading are pre-Line Miner.

Thanks guys and gals.

Instead of the Henrik harlaut model you should get the Tanner hall model

Asian Fit frames are for faces with shallower nose bridges and higher cheeks, mostly so they don't slide off - you can just go to a store and try some glasses/goggles on to see if they'll work for you. Honestly I haven't noticed a huge difference

If I could find someone with Oakley goggles near Green Bay, WI I would, my local shops don't carry Oakley for some reason. I understand that that's what they are meant for but I am curious as to how they achieve this. Is it just a little more padding around the nose and a little flatter on the face? I wish Henrik's pro model just came in the regular fit. Oh well.

Do you have a big nose? if not you probably won't be able to tell the difference tbh, and yeah that sounds about right. The line miner's already pretty flat though so I doubt they did much to it.

No, I don't. I might order them and if I don't like the fit I can always return them. Thanks for the advice.

Are you asian? If yes, prob stick with asian fit...im asian, when i tried both of them on, the regular fit leaves a little gap around the nose, but could be eliminated by tightening the strap or move the goggle slightly "lower" on the face. I didnt notice any difference between the two other than the thicker foam around the nose area. But I ended up getting the squad XL asian fit :)
