Need a new helmet...

[JonS]

Now, I'm sure that I'm not the only person on this forum that has to wear glasses. My problem though is that my current Answer helmet does not accommodate my specs. I either have to not use the helmet or wear it and be blind as a bat. I normally would have a pair of contacts for riding, but now I don't.

How do you guys deal with the issue? Full face motorcycle helmet with fold down visor? Helmet with special cutouts for glasses? Would the full face be too damn hot in the Summer time?

Before I had contacts I just went shopping for a helment with my glasses until I found one that fit good and allowed the glasses to slide in after putting the helment on.

well, it would be hard for me to go shopping for a helmet w/o hearing someone else opinion. the dealer is like 35-40 miles away so i'm not just gonna go look at what they have. i'd probably have to order off the internet anyway.

I just got a email from motorsport.com for a sale on helmets.

those are nice helmets, but i can't wear my goggles either. so they would not be what i'm looking for.

So are you thinking only full face helmets then?

Bro, I wear glasses too, or i'm blind as hell! I just put my helmet on and slide my glasses on then put my googles on over them. They do make prescription googles!

Prescription goggles is the way to go.

sounds easy but my helmet presses my glasses to the point of almost bending them. i ain't gonna try to slide the goggles on.

I didnt know prescription goggles existed but that sounds like the way to go. If your saying that your glasses barely fit in between your head and the helmet and almost bend them. Sounds like you need new a larger helmet to me.

Yes you did! I:I !

slick, please let me know how you like them and if they stretch over your helmet easy enough like a pair of scott goggles. also, if you can actually see worth a flip.

For sure! I'm curoius to see how the fogging effect goes, I hate that!

Or a smaller head.

On the lighter side, I use a full face with visor, bit more room in it for the specs.

On the down side the visor does tend to fog up some.
