Helmets and Glasses

[Muldoon]

I wear a mide range HJC helmet which is pretty comfy. My only hassle is putting my glasses on.... Yes yes, I know glasses after helmet. Anyways there is a join in the lining between the hard bit and the soft bit. I guess between the foam and cheek pads, which the arm of my glasses goes straight into, pushing the glasses way up my face making them uncomfortable and vision errr interesting.
Can anyone recommend a helmet that is good with glasses???
Oh Kerry, still waiting on those dog pictures!

it's all going to be based upon the general size and shape of your head, what kind of glasses you wear, etc.  my only solution to you is to go to a shop and try on helmets, and find one that you like.  i can say that for my head, my arai fits great, even when i have sunglasses on.  but you're really going to have to find one for yourself.

I have an HJC AC10. My glasses are fine when i dont use the extra sound dampening foam. I used one of my old frames and bent the arms a bit so they are a little more straight. They fit nicely, but would sometimes slide down my nose making it hard to duck down under my fairing. Anyway, they fit like normal and i never put them through the foam like you said.

with my wife's HJC CS-12 I've found that the glasses go on OK if I press down on the arms and wiggle the glasses in and out and back and forth.  They slip down past that padding and go right in place.

I personally have a flip up Nolan N100 helmet, and I don't even have to take my glasses off to put it on.  The HJC Symax is a flip up too, but there is only one latch to flip up the chin bar, and it's right in the middle of the chin bar...I'm not sure how safe that is.  One of the guys over at beginnerbikes.com crashed with a Symax and it opened the chin bar and flipped it all the way around to the back of the helmet.  In normal operation it stops at the top.  The Nolan however has 2 latches, one on each side of the chin bar.  The opening tabs are also smaller, and the latches just seem sturdier than the Symax latch.

hjc cs-12 and glases go on fine, and ride fine.

i agree with zarathurtra... it's all about the shape of you head and the glasses.

I have no problems with my HJC AC-10.

Definitely depends on your head shape/size.
I have a big head, and it's kind of round-ish. I use a KBC Wolf, and ride with Spy Scoop glasses, really easy fit. I like the Wolf because it's snug and there is still a lot of padding which gives you room to play with.

*Edit- And it's pretty inexpensive too.
