I tried a lot of full faced. Could never get them on - or off - easily while wearing my specs. Maybe it take a while for the noggin to adapt? Anyway, I love my CL33.

Erm. I usually take my glasses off, put them back on after I put on my helmet. YMMV...

Errr, I don't want to take my specs off to put my helmet.

Caberg makes a flip up, used to be called Justisimo/Jarow... A great Flipup with an intregal interior flip down sun shade. I wear glasses and found having to put them down every time I put on or off the helmet is a royal pain...

With a flip up, I take them helmet off and on less, and when I do the glasses just stay where they are...

I also have the Nolan flip-up and wear glasses. great helmet with a lot of good features.

No problem with glasses for me with Arai or Shoei helmets. Spousal unit has a Suomy and no problems with her glasses either.

Are your glasses wire rim? If so a flip face may be a good way to go. I have a Shark RSi (also have a Nolan X1002) and my glasses slide in easily. But the frames are heavier than wire rims. I think I'll have a harder time with the titanium flex frames that I recently ordered.

I have the flex frames and they are very hard to use in a full face... the arms flex to much and don;t want to get behind the ears.... with a flip-up, I don't even think about the glasses....

I just got new glasses with flex frames a few days ago, and have also discovered the challenges of using them with a full face helmet. I won't give up a full face, so there is going to be a short learning curve. My RF1000 has been just fine with glasses so far, and once I learn how to put on the new glasses inside it, it will continue to be just fine. It is close to four years old, with daily use, so it is due for replacement. Another one just like it seems like the best choice, glasses or no glasses.

I wore open face helmets for years and then switched to full face. I've gone through a couple of Arai Signets and bought a Schuberth Concept when they first hit the US. It's not as quiet as the Signet but as someone mentioned before I don't feel the need to take it off so much (as when getting gas or taking a quick break) and it's MUCH quieter and safer than an open face. I don't have to take my glasses off to put on or take off the schuberth. My next helmet will be a Shoei Multitec.
