Shoei Multitec Helmet

[Pussy]

Just looking for some feedback on the new Shoei Multitec helmet. I started wearing glasses about two years ago, for now I don't HAVE to wear them for driving/riding, which is just as well, because I can't put the bloody things on under my Shoei X-Spirit helmet. Looks like it wouldn't be a problem with a flip up helmet.
PrincessBandit VERY sensitively suggested a Golden Labrador...
So, I want to keep riding sports bikes for some years to come, and want the good oil on the Multitec
Thanks in advance

Hmm I wear glasses and I find them easier on my Shoei than my HJC?

Though glasses can be helmet compatible or not as well as the helmet being suited.

Example: My Smith sunglasses fit both helmets fine, my Oakleys fit neither.

Love mine.

Hate the noise (compared to a schuberth S1)

Very easy to live with a multitec

And looks like a nomral helmet once down

Sure does look like a normal helmet! I've only seen the Multitec in ads/pics so far... seem like pretty good value at $700.00 too.
My X-Spirit isn't a quiet helmet either.
Might have to check one out. Thanks

Balu loves his; easy to put on and take off with his glasses still on his face.
Me, I'd love to opt for contact lenses again (then I could wear cool sunnies on really bright sunny days) but worry about a lens buckling - rather painful and bad enough to remedy when behing the wheel of a car.
Laser surgery is another option....?

I don't get it at all?
I wear sunnies under all my helmets.
Why do you need a system helmet for glasses?

[munterk6]

I dont get it either, I have no probs with my Shoei XR1000 getting my specs in and out of it. Or any other helmet Ive used for that matter, ya must have strange frames or weird shaped head, or BOTH lol !!!!!!!!

I've worn corrective lenses since I was 4 years old... never had a problem with countless brands of full-face,especially when I was four...
having said that,my next helmet WILL be a flip-up...

I wear progressive glasses, they've got to be positioned just so. And my X-Spirit helmet is a good fit... which leaves fuck all room down the sides. The frames I have are those twisty type ones. Might check out some of those Ugly Fish frames, they look a bit more helmet friendly. I FUGGIN HATE WEARING GLASSES

Would agree, wear earplugs for any decent distance.

The visors are very easy to remove and the antifog bit is magic, used to dread riding in rain at night but bought it before 1000 Miler (thank Budda) last year(very wet) and loved it.

Yeah - I have to for reading now too.

The visor isn't any further away with the flip front though is it?
