Old age and Glasses.......

[dp1]

How does anybody else get on wearing glasses with a helmet? No matter how much a juggle them about they never seem to sit right, surely somebody must make helmet friendly specs

Tried it....didn't work. Use lenses now.

I wear glasses with my Nolan N94 and they're great

Old age had nothing to do with wearing glasses thank u

I find they are a pain and if using the bike for more than 1/2 an hour I wear lenses

Mine fit under my shoei raid-II with no problems.

I use contact lenses, however I did use my glasses for two weeks recently as I couldn't wear my lenses and they were fine. My glasses are Silhouette frameless and as I said were fine under my Arai.

Are these the bendy flexy ones you can almost tie in a knot?

I find I need to pull the helmet away from the side of my head to get the side arm in the right place. They're not too bad apart from that. Otherwise as others have said I wear daily disposable contacts - the only tim I ever wear them is riding the bike or playing golf.

I wear glasses under my helmet without any problems at all, having a pair with straight arms with no ear hooks helps I think.

I used to wear glasses or lenses, preferred lenses as my glasses seemed to 'vibrate' too much in my lid, Shoei X-8, only thing for me with lenses was my eyes drying out, I used to look like a red eyed psycho after a good thrash

Been riding 18 years with glasses and no problems with any of the lids I have used.

No problems with a selection of Shoei's since the eighties, some better than others, latest X-spirit OK but older ones have been better. Modern smaller frame glasses not so good, but still have an older pair of 'Harry Potter' style frames that are superb! Unfortunately can't use contacts, which I would imagine don't suffer from misting.

I've sometimes had problems with my glasses if I've had to borrow a lid, but that's the only time it's been an issue

I've always tried my own lids on in the shop with my glasses and I've never had a problem. Biggest issue is steaming up in the rain.

[crankedup]

As long as the sidearms on the glasses are reasonbly stout then no problems for me during my past ***** years riding. Only hassle is that the anti fog mixtures applied to spec's ruins the anti scratch film on the glasses lense.

Never a problem - when I'm not in a "racer" crouch. On sports bikes (demonstrator rides and track days, I don't own a sports bike) I can't help lookin over the top of the specs and use contacts.
