Helmets and glasses?

[Hitcher]

Shoei Multitec - I can put the helmet on and off without removing glasses.

Only a solution for pin heads...

It would be cheaper to just buy the $900 helmet than new glasses.... really don't want to have to go down the new glasses road just yet...

They may even try to sell you a prescription visor...

Plod: "Licence please."
Rider: Hands over licence.
Plod: "Says here you wear glasses. Why aren't you?"
Rider: "I have a prescription visor, sir."
Plod: "But your visor was up."
Rider: "It was fogging up so I flipped it up."
Plod: "Well you'll have to flip it down again or be in breach of your licence conditions."
Rider: "But I won't be able to see where I'm going."
Plod: "That's your problem. Have a nice day."

Edit: Shoei Raid II works with all my glasses. Retails around $499 iirc

I like this...could so easily be true...

my eye sight is so great without my glasses if I had a precription visor and it was fogged up I would be staying on the side of the road until it unfogged. Other wise I may as well try riding with my eyes shut.

Damn right. Unless Hitcher knows some really budget eye doctor, you are best to stick with what you have. Last optometry bill I had was $700.

I have an HJC cs12 and that seems to be okay.. just seem to loose the little rubber bits on the end of the arms alot lol

I have never had a problem wearing glasses in any helmet...are your specs particularly bulky or summat?
You could always try contacts...

Always been a problem for me.

The arms of the glasses are too uncomfortable, so I got a helmet with a sliding shade.

I haven't tried them with my HJC.

I had laser eye surgery 5 years back. Apparently it is impossible for the licensing authority to cope with changing from:

Wears Glasses: YES
to
Wears Glasses: NO

I just state that I am wearing contact lenses.

I'd be surprised if they asked me to open my eyes wide to check.

[KerrA]

I have sports Addidas frames ( a bit bulky) and they fit fine with my shark Helmet. try contacts.

3rd Mention in this post: Shoei RAID II works well for me.

A nice helmet too!

[MD]

I was browsing the web checking out the latest Caberg helmets and one model had the description "channel for wearing glasses" which I assume means they have allowed room for your specks.

Otherwise, the best cure is laser surgery! Sorry about the cost though.

my nolan 102 flipface works well with my glasses...

Yep the Nolan N102 works good for me too.

[GaZBur]

I use 2 Zeus helmets and wear glasses.
803 is a cheap but reasonable quality full face that has a channel for the glasses. Real easy to put them on and OK to race in.
Zeus flip top for road riding.

ensure your temples (the thingees on the end of your legs of your specs) are smooth shiny plastic - not the rubber sort. I replaced the rubbery ones on my legs with plastic thingees and they slide in and out real easy now.

Now I can just see the above being taken out of context and used as someone's signature...
