Helmets and glasses

srm244 · 06-12-2008, 04:10 PM

I've been having lots of problems trying to find a crash helmet that is comfortable to wear with glasses. Even though I bought the smallest glasses I could, they still end up getting bent and 'forced down' onto my nose. I assume I'm not the only one to experiance this so I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hello srm244 and welcome to the biker forum. I wear specs myself and have a Shoei XR1000 lid that doesn't give me any problems. My last lid had a seam at the side where my specs used to go and gave me all sorts of problems. The best solution would be to try contact lenses if you can wear them. Up until recently I did and they are fantastic for riding.

errrr are you taking the glasses off before putting your helmet on

then replacing the specs,i use daily disposable contacts for the bike,once you get used to putting them in they're great

My wife and I both have Caberg helmets and wearing glasses has never been a problem.

Have you tried any Arai helmets? Plenty of ear room. Or try a more robust frame with spring loaded arms (I kid you not) Works for me.

greetings srm244 and welcome to the forum

Why not got along and try em all on and see what works best for you?

The thing with small glasses is that they are more 'bendy' than larger one's
