[Closed] Full face helmet that accommodates prescription glasses well

All that I've ever tried on were fine.

Currently have a THE One

661 comp and Bell Drop both definately do.

Yep, my cheap 661 fits well. You have to take glasses of to get helmet on or off but once on the glasses fit no problem at all

Yeah, same experience here, mine have worked with every helmet I've owned. Though working well with goggles, not so much.

I've checked the "tell the OP to get contacts" rota and apparently it's my turn, so that.

@northwind, cheers for the heads up about contacts but they make my eyes really sore, even the softest ones are no good.......lol 😯

i got prescription insets for my goggles and hey presto! i can see what I'm crashing into... work well though

Pigeonthing !

What goggles do you have the inserts for ? Are they remove able for cleaning ?

As above!!

That could be a plan, i'd love to ditch the glasses

Came across goggs for wearing over your glasses earlier:

Not convinced

Have just seen some prescription goggles but at 160 its a fair bit of cash.
The inserts as mentioned above sound a cheaper alternative, does anyone have a link to them?:)

I think it was Oakley who made the A Frame ? Goggle for snowboarding, which had a slightly deeper goggle than normal, just enough to hold an insert with script lenses in.

I use a set of [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/oakley-proven-otg-mx-goggles/rp-prod31654 ]Oakley MX OTG goggles[/url]. They work well and fit over Oakley glasses well and some others with varying degrees of success.

I've Used Oakley L-frames (OTG type goggle) previously, TBH anything where you have two separate lenses will cause fogging pretty easily ripped out the foam, drilled the lens. Never worked very well, was tempted to try a bolle Rx insert in a goggle (you can buy them quite cheap) but never did because it will inevitably suffer from the same issue.

Prescription lenses in glasses frame of your choice is my recommendation, bolle spider safely glasses or fauxley and ciliary blue lenses are a cost effective solution.

They always slipped over my ears neatly once the FF lid is on, never found a lid that didn't allow me to wear specs.

Or there's this [url] http://www.pro-vue.com [/url] but it ain't cheap and they seem to be yank based only.

@cookeaa, were did you buy the safety glasses from?

cheers for all the info so far everyone

One fullface that doesn't play well with specs is the Troy Lee d3. I discovered this when trying to put my glasses on while wearing my brand new helmet just before loading my bike onto the lift on a very busy day at Whistler last summer. Seems that the plastic along the inside of the brow extends down the sides of the helmet too, making insertion of the arms of the glasses very difficult. Luckily I was able to return my expensive purchase that day and ended up with a Bell Full 9 which plays well with specs.

…..apologies for slow response…i bought some adidas pinner goggles secondhand and then got the rx insert glazed the rx insert was way more expensive than the goggles, but i was riding virtually blind without them and i'd tried contacts but just couldn't get them in and out easy enough…

and yes they are removable for cleaning and to put in other goggle if need be..

Thanks all!

A friend of mine borrowed my cheapie Dirty Dog goggles to wear over glasses at Ardrock. Seemed to work out well enough...
