Feedback: Stilo Helmets
#32
Well, I tried on a Stilo Large (59CM) this weekend. The helmet is very nice and the options make it a top pick.
But, I was not able to easily put me glasses on. The helmet fits snug and the ear muffs further close off the opening to slip the arms of the glasses behind my ears. The arms of these glasses, like most, are slightly curved inward. I'm sure I will break them if I put them on more than a few times. I think, if I had a pair with straight and flexible arms they would work.
I have a pair of Wiley-X goggles with prescription lenses that have flexible arms. They were easier to get on but they fog up and are not wearable.
Does anyone have this problem? What is the workaround? I guess I could try the X-Large (61CM). I am disappointed because I like this lid and Arai just can't get it together with delivery.

No problem hearing my car, even with the windows in, though. I really like my Stilo, and the HMS Motorsports guys are excellent folks to deal with.

I called HMS and they told me they have created an different earpad for those who want to hear more of the car. $10. So no issue, I'll try both.

Stilo top air with visor
You can use the top air with a shield but NOT with the visor.

I wear prescription suns when I drive and have found the same problem with every single balaclava I've ever worn, regardless of the helmet. I finally started cutting little holes right where my ears end up in the headsock, and then I slide the glasses through the holes.

You've got the wrong glasses. Check out Flexon. They are completely bendable and unbreakable. The temples can be smashed toward your head and pressed inside the balaclava. The balaclava works like a hold-down keeping the glasses steady. You can shape them so the temples are straight or bent behind the ears. I had a prescription pair made last year with a small bi-focal placed exactly where I wanted it, with my correct prescription for that distance, so the gauges are in focus and everything else is distance vision. No tint and no anti-glare. I change visors on my Stilo depending on weather conditions. Works great.

I purchased a carbon fiber top air for my Stilo from Mike Savage Designs, expensive abut it will not break. Give Mike a call
