Prescription glasses for full face helmet

straight arms on the frames like some sunglasses can work well. saves having to loop the arms behind your ears. i took an old pair of mine and straightened the arms.

 

No tirade of piss taking Mick, as DD said I always take mine off before I take my lid off, I explained to my lovely optician my concerns and she recommended a thin metal arm type fitting, a bit like those aviator sunglasses types, which I hasten to add I have as well and they do the job fine mate.

 

How about a custom made visor, we should go on " Dragons den" lol,.

 

I've been looking at the same problem and the some of the Oakley frames seem to work really well as they are straight arms and really thin but my concern is how long would it be before they got bent, also they're not cheap

 

Ade,,couldn`t help yourself could you?

 

I buy mine on-line and it works really well. I think they actually come from Holland, but I don't care tbh. They have an immense range of frames/lens/options on lenses and deliver pretty quick. Usually takes about 14 days from order to arrival time.

And at a fraction of the cost from the high street opticians.

 

Hahahahahaha

 

Metal frames, preferably titanium, straight arms and polycarbonate lenses (just in case). I find that the helmets with moveable cheekpads accommodate my glasses the best.

 

I recently bought a new pair with springy titanium arms on spec from a high street retail outlet. The end of the arm kinks outwards to secure behind your ear. Totally useless for full face helmet use, even with the kinks straightened out as much as possible, cuz you can't push them on with your lugholes flattened against your noggin. They are just about passable with a looser fit flip helmet I also have, specs on first before putting the helmet on. But with the kinks straightened out they are no longer secure when helmetless. The new ones also have a big optical area, which seemed a good idea, except with my open face HJC the pull-down tinted visor can't pass over them, so all things considered a bit of a waste of money really. I'm back to wearing an old pair with traditional straighter arms. Lesson learned, as Ade said, take your helmet/s to the optician when buying.

 

A Shoei helmet with metal frame specs works well for me.
If in doubt take your helmet to the opticians when you select you frames.
Don't try to get your helmet on or off with your glasses on. It hurts!
