+1 to this helmet. I found it still a bit tricky at first but as the padding bedded in I can just flip the front up when I put on or take off the helmet and my glasses stay put. It also helps if you slight pull the sides of the helmet and use a rolling action when donning a or remove the helmet.

Thanks for all your input......I tried a few models on and chose the Scorpion EXO 700 (Thx DataPimp!). Have had it for about 400-500 miles and am happy with it. No problem getting the glasses on/off; no shield interference; fairly quiet; got a nice discount; a bit heavier than my Shoei. All in all its a good deal for me

Old fart with bifocals here! I wear a HJC CL14 and like it. Its comfortable, noise level is low, ventilation is good. Yes, I take my glasses off each time I put on or take off the helmet, but it has become routine and doesn't bother me. They are also priced reasonably.

I went another route, I had rpk done and now I do not need glasses any more, I will for reading in ten years or so but that is much better than the alternative. This is the best money I have ever spent in my life and solved my glasses helmet fogging etc problem

I just bought a Caberg V2 - It's easy to put specs on and has a great sun visor integral that you can flip down inside the clear visor.
I had a Bieffe Viper which was warm and cosy but awkward with specs - saved my face a couple of weeks ago when I hit a van mirror - I will never wear an open face again..
