For the specky 4 eyes among us!

Ive always found wearing glasses in a full face lid painful after a while. Had several different makes of lid but none have been perfect, and always struggled to get the arms behind my ears. Just bought a Shoei QWest and its the best lid Ive ever had on my nogg. There seems to be more room around my lug holes, and my glasses slide in easily and are a really comfy fit. Spent 5 hours on the bike yesterday and no sore ears or headache's. Top lid!

Nogg and lug holes.

That is all.

Again - it depends on the spectacle frames as well as the lid. If you have Gok Wan-type frames, then the fit will be poor. Wire-type frames are generally not too bad. I'd rather not cut out bits of my helmet to suit, but the suitability of one to the other is not obvious at the time.

Arai also have cutouts in the side for glasses.

Yeah when I was looking at Shoei's the guy said they have been designed for people with glasses in mind.

I just got contact lenses

[weasley]

I have a Shoei XR1000 which has cut-outs, but I also wear glasses with a straight arm, so they don't have to go 'behind' my ears, just push into place.

That's how I ended up after an accident (in terms of facial injuries) and it was all because I was wearing glasses.

When I went down and headbutted the floor, my glasses crushed my left cheekbone and broke my left orbit whilst cutting up my face and doing a lot of damage, to show how unsubstantial they are, I wear these:

Thicker glasses with big rims/big lenses etc would do even more damage.

Ever since then I never wear glasses on the bikes, spend two minutes putting in a pair of daily contacts which:

A) Give better vision as I can see perfect everywhere and I am not limited by the frames.

B) Are comfier.

C) Much safer.

If you have the means (£15-£20 a month) and use the bike a lot, then I'd highly suggest getting a monthly direct debit for a decent set of contacts for use on the bike. You will not regret it.

Mine arn't even £15, I pay £13.99 a month for some monthly lenses from Specsavers.

I tend to leave the things in all day and never have any problems with comfort with them, going back to wearing glasses now really illustrates how limited my vision was with them, too.

^Ouch, that looks nasty, dude.

[robs321]

The problem is, I cannot wear contacts. I have a pair of rimless frames that are made from that memoflex bendy stuff, and the lenses are plastic. Plus I find not crashing really helps!

[B10Hazard]

Iv always worn glasses under my lid and never really had any problems. Did make one pair very miss shaped though..

My work leaves me with a lot of shit in my eyes which is not a good mix with contacts, and i to have bad astigmatisms but I can do without the infections lenses give me. Id be more worried about the airbag going off in my van than crashing in a decent fitting lid while wearing glasses, but then crashing is never the right option!

[Ade75]

I need to wear glasses for driving, hadn't crossed my mind about wearing them with a lid
I might get contacts to wear on the bike now after seeing Paul's injuries
