I'm a contact lens person normally, though once in a while I wear glasses and sometimes ride my Bandit with glasses on.

I've often read threads about steaming up glasses, but have now discovered something else of note.

Does anyone else find when riding a sports bike with glasses that the keep looking over the top of their glasses, and if so how does it effect their riding style if at all Question

Can't say I've ever noticed that. Is your helmet forcing the glasses down your nose? I have a Foggy mask to reduce steaming up, maybe that's helping keep my specs in place?

Yeah man, happens to me. You have to adapt to it. Awkward at first but you'll get used to it dude.

My sun glasses tend to push hard against my forehead just above my bridge and get a bit greasy. Ive got half a dozen pairs of cheap sunnies in an attempt to find a set Im happy with.

Could just be me though and maybe I should shower more then 2 times a month Sick

Have a look at my glasses invention - just do a search and you'll eventually find it. I was a bastard for not keeping it quiet and patenting it, but it uses a pivoting pair of lenses rotating about a nose mounted breathguard. I have no problems with it in winter!

Prescription visor - i asked my optician about it and he mentioned that the curved apeture would cause all sorts of wiered effects, unless lenses could be developed for that purpose - this was for my A level product design research.

I always wear glasses and I must say they stay in place perfectly Confused

If you have vents at the top of your helmet, leave them open and it helps to stop the glasses steaming up a little.

I find that when I wear the foggy mask it helps to steam up my glasses even more due to all the air rushing into my eyes lol maybe it just doesn't like my helmet.

Where is the rushing air coming from?!
It takes a while to get the mask in the right spot to properly seal off the bottom of the helmet from the top, if you see what I mean.
