Not sure of which section to put this query, but here goes:

I have bought a Bell full face helmet.

I am 40 years old the eyes fitted in my head are not as sharp as when I was 20, hence I wear glasses (can't do the contact lens thingy).

How do glasses wearers cope with full face helmets - i.e. how to get the ear bit between the helmet and your head?

My glasses are frameless and a bit fragile.

Hope the above makes sense?

Thanks,

Richard

you thought about getting a cheapo pair of memoflex style glasses just for the job in hand, they should be far more comfortable and less likely to break when worn under the skid lid. i think at worst it'll be annoying but something you'll just get used to if you cant do contact lenses (although i swear by the ones i use)

Had to give up the full-face jobbie with specs. Mind you, I am very short-sighted and the glasses need to be aligned exactly. I gave up and now wear an open face helmet. However, I'm sure somebody on here will recommend a pair of robust specs that you can slide in. Worth a try. Open helmets are not the best

Get glasses with straight sides so you can poke them between helmet and head, works OK for me.

Can you not get a perscription visor?

Thanks for the replies.

I have an old pair of specs with straight sides so will give that a try, failing which a trip to the opticians.

Not had any problems wearing glasses with my full face helmet.

No problems with my glasses and my bucket sized Shoei lid.

Likewise and i ride a lot. Just slide the arms in once you've got the lid on...

I can get mine in no problems, there is a skill to wiggling them in without poking out you eye.

Some helmets do have recesses along the side to facilitate this.
