This post probably only applies to those who were goggles, and I don't mean of the beer variety.

I don't normally wear my glasses when out riding as I can't get them on properly inside helmet, also there is the comfort issue as well.

I'm fortunate that although I wear glasses all the time, I don't actually have to wear them for driving. My vision without them is still very good, just that vision in the left eye is slightly down which the right eye over compensates for resulting in headaches which the glasses compensate for.

I'm about to get a new helmet (Shoei XR900 about 5 year old - Shark RSX Stunt coming up 3 years this year).

My mate runs a website (see below) and as part of his mates rates he can get me pretty much any helmet I want at cost price, generally saving a third (often more) on the price of a helmet.

Trouble is I'm soooooo not into the flippy face helmets. Father-in-law and his mate both MUST wear glasses when out on bike and both have Caberg flippy things which mean helmet on, flip up, glasses on, flip down and hey presto everything fits properly and comfy to.

Anyone have any experience of helmets and glasses. Alternatively I have been told of glasses with no legs that sit on top of the ears but rather once helmet is on they rest on the nose with some legs that attach to helmet itself.

I have in the past tried contacts but I also have stigmatism?? (eyeballs more oval & rugby ball shaped than round) which means contacts don't sit right. I never really got to grips with them. Apparently this is quite common??
