What is the best way of wearing glasses with a modular full face helmet?

[Mikey]

It will depend on how tight your cheek pads fit, I can put my helmet on by opening the front wide open taking the straps in my hands and pull them apart to the side and slipping the helmet over my head! Some time when I take it off it will catch a bow, but for the most part it will slip off just a easy.

I cut the temples so there is very little pressure on my ears and head. Yes, I like a snug fitting helmet. Lew L

Great minds think alike, Lew.

Shark Evo 1 two is made for the glasses with a thinner area at the temple. No cutting required.

Helmet, then glasses.

I too wear a snug helmet and found the temple tips dig in over time if I wear them as normal. I wear a skull cap under the helmet and slide the glasses over the top of this, above my ears. The helmet is snug enough to keep them in place. Works great.

My temple tips are fairly straight, so this may not work with the hooked type.

Lots of answers so far.

Once the helmet is broken in, as in fits comfortably, you should be able to put the helmet on over the glasses with no resistance.

:chat:...What ever works best for you.

So for me I put on my helmet and then put on my Glasses.
After the ryde I do this. Remove my Glasses and then remove my helmet.
I HAVE BEEN wearing Glasses Forever. It is just the way of life. ......:thumbup:

:agree:

Modular helmet user since BMW came out in 1986. Always have put the helmet on with my glass on. Have not had a modular that I could not put on without glasses on. Wouldn’t have one that I had to take them off. That why I got away from a full face helmet.

I've been 400/20 uncorrected since my teens, with a 1.25 astigmatism in each eye. Wear glasses into and out of the shower each morning. With my HJC Symax or ISMax, and a HELMET LINER. I always wear wire frames, and leave them on while donning, removing the helmet. The liner prevents the helmet pads from dragging the temples down (and prevents helmet itch by permitting the hair to slide). If I forget and wear the plastic frames, they get uncomfortable in just a few miles. For greater than 100 miles or so, contacts.

I do it both ways. Helmet first is easier, but either way works. I have the brand new Shark Evo GT.

Glasses stay on, taking helmet on or off.
