Sunvisor with glasses

[Tastevodka]

Wanting a helmet for about £145 with a sunvisor, any of you guys experience them knocking your glasses?

[NJD]

UK? Not something I'd worry about it's never bloody sunny for long enough to render needing a sun visor and even on the rare occasion I push mine down and get a face full of cobwebs and dust the things either never dark or long enough anyway.

Plus how have you not figured out Contacts > Glasses or do you not stop when you ride? Mine never stopped fogging up.

Model of helmet might make for a more accurate response.

I wear smoked safety specs inside my crash helmet in this weather because it means I can ride through the city with my visor open without getting all the road crap in my eyes. My lid also has a sun visor and if the sun is really bright and low I can flip that down too. It doesn't interfere with the specs but they are really close-fitting so I don't know if it would interfere with glasses.

My last helmet was a Caberg V2, never had any problems with the internal visor with my glasses when wearing that one. Have now switched to an HJC IS-MAX BT flip front, so I don't even have to take off my glasses to put the helmet on. Internal visor on that one is fine too.

I don't wear glasses but, my Shark S900c internal sun visor whacks me on the bridge of my nose when I flip it down (I don't have a particularly big nose btw), so I'd imagine it could be an issue with that lid.

Don't forget to try on whatever lid you're thinking of buying first. If you have a head shaped like mine, Caberg and some others won't fit. Whereas Shark lids fit my head shape perfectly .

HJC IS-11. Comfy, with good sunshade and glasses grooves which stopp pressure on your temples. Pinlock as well

Answer is some hit and some don't. I've got 3 pairs of glasses and the same is also true of that - close fitting visors will foul my 'police' frames but don't foul my raybans.

It's a case of try em on and see how you go from there, but give yourself as much wiggle room as you can find in case you change your glasses for something chunkier.

Interesting comments above about use of contact lenses - I was led to believe that only 3 per cent of the population couldn't use then and found myself to be in that category. Those comments sound like it is a much more widespread issue.

HJC IS Max, has the internal visor and on the rare occassion that it's been super bright and I've worn a cheap pair of smoked safety glasses as well I've not had any problems.

[BumpingUglys]

My AGV K5 seems to have plenty of space between the internal visor and glasses (I don't wear 'em while riding though). A good inch all round, though my glasses are fairly small. Glasses channel built in too.

Nice lid, but the pinlock gets in the way a bit if you're laying over the tank.

Ah, I see (gettit?).

I have a very high astigmatism in one eye which means that any moving around on the eye of the lens moves vision in and out with it. Can apparently get round it with eye drops which keep the eye more moist and stop the lens sticking but that's hardly convenient and it's always at inconvenient times that you'd start to lose the vision (yes Mr Officer I could see perfectly 12 seconds ago before I stepped off the motorcycle but now I appear to not be able to read a numberplate from three feet let alone twenty - oops).

Got a Schuberth S2. No problems with sunvisor whacking glasses.

I wear glasses as does my girlfriend. Neither of us have had a problem with internal sunvisors impacting glasses, although a Shark S900 sunvisor smacks me in the nose.

I've had a Shark Speed R and a Skwal and loved both, disliked my HJC IS16 as the vents were useless and hard to operate, same helmet now known as the TR1.

Girlfriend has an IS-17, it's very good, vents and visor easy to operate, I considered one but it's too round for my narrow head.

Consider a respro foggy mask to keep your breath off your glasses and rip out the stock breath shield which will reflect your breath onto the outside of your glasses.
