 I don't believe full face helmets were designed for those of us who wear glasses. After trying many different brands, I did not find one that I could put on with glasses on and found impossible to get my glasses on with the helmet on. With a full face modular flip-up it is possible to get specs on but difficult, going to a larger size helps but is to big for my small head. Any advice or suggestions will be apreciated. KEEP ON SCOOTIN!!!

Get you some prescription sport glasses like the basketball players use, they fit like gogles and are easier to wear under a full face. They are hi impact resistant as well. You may have to go to a low profile, wrap around style of glasses to get them under a full face. Check with your eye doc to see what they offer. www.eyesport.com/www.sportrx.com/www.athleticoptics.com/ |

With a full face modular flip-up it is possible to get specs on but difficult Presently using a Jafrum modular helmet (discontinued model) with regular prescription glasses. There is nothing especially "glass friendly" about this helmet, but have learned over time how to put the helmet on while wearing glasses. Hold fully open helmet upside down by grasping the straps, tilt head forward and position the bottom protrusions against cheeks, then flip head and helmet back while pulling on straps.

I wear (cheap and fragile) glasses issued by the VA with my HJC modular full-face. And you are right, it is difficult (impossible!) to put the helmet on while wearing the glasses. I find it much more practical to put on the helmet with the chin-bar up, then carefully insert the glasses above my ear-line, and wriggle the glasses into position.
Then I make sure the helmet is well-settled in place, and if needed, re-align the glasses, before dropping the chin bar.
This sounds more difficult than it really is, and it actually only takes about 10 seconds, but it took several on-and-off cycles before the process was worked out.
I know that at least one of the more costly helmets provides cheek pieces that have 'grooves' for eye glass temples -- but I am unwilling to pay as much for a helmet as I did for my old Helix.

I have a modular full face helmet as well and I've been doing the same thing as byeway has. I can't quite figure out how to get the helmet on with my glasses still on. I think that particular trick may take me a few months to figure out. For now, it's: helmet on, then glasses on, and then chin part down.

That's the ticket for me too. glasses off, helmet on, glasses in, visor down. But a few times I have forgotten the glasses were on my face. Trying to quickly shove my helmet down on my head about broke my nose in those cases and bent my glasses. Its a good dose of humble pie when you do that downtown in front of people. But once the helmet is on and visor down you can laugh about it.
