Thanks for all the replies. I've done some more trial fitting w/my helmet and I think the main issue is that the top seam of my particular helmet's removable cheek pieces (where it meets the upper padding) is just above where my glasses want to sit. So even if I force my glasses to sit where they should, they eventually work themselves into that seam and sit up at eyebrow level. Seems like my helmet is the culprit.

Glad to know others are able to make it work - when it's time to upgrade my helmet, I will pay more attention to fitting w/glasses.

Thanks,
Tom

I've worn sunglasses in my helmet for years. I usa a pair of Oakleys that don't bend over he ear, they stay straight (like aviator glasses). This way they just slide right in and out easily.

Enjoy

Same here on sunglasses. I recommend getting polarized lenses. They're not a miracle, but do seem to help in picking up liquids at a distance.

Saved my bacon with coming into T12 at Road America at least once... "funny, is that liquid up there?" You guessed it, oil. Not what you want in 5th gear arcing into a downhill brake zone.

At least 2 cars behind me flew off into the gravel.

I wear prescription glasses inside my helmet, no cutting of foam.

Titanium frames. Thin, strong and flexible. Expensive as heck and pretty much unbreakable, too. Put 'em on with two hands after you put the helmet on.

Couldn't see down the track w/o 'em, so, yes, I wear them all the time. Just put them on after you put on the helmet, but before you push it down on your head and tighten the strap.

I wear presciption polarized oakley plastic frame shades under
my full face helmet. The key was finding frames that fit as
closely to my face/head as possible, and trying frames on with
my helmet when buying them. I have poor distance vision, so they
are always on.

The key with glasses is to find the right helmet. You want one with a large eyeport, not a F1 style slit.

The Bell M4 is designed with a larger eyeport to allow glasses. Never had a problem fitting them.

I have never had an issue with prescrption sun glasses or regualar glasses. I put my ear piece in, balaclava, helmet and then sun glasses. Then I get in the car. I can't put my helmet on in the car with my HANS attached. I never disconnect my HANS.



I do try to pick glasses that I think may work better. I never cut and foam.

i bought these addidas skiing, running, sport glasses, they flex, huge lens for the eyes to see, and they have adjustments you can make on them, wear them everytime i race my kart and bouncing around in a kart is worse than a car and they dont move.
