    Helmet compatible glasses........what you fellow specky four eyes wearing??

    After years struggling to find glasses that actually feel comfortable while riding and don't create pressure points even with glasses compatible helmets, I have finally found some that feel perfect in every way!

    Oakley Lightbeam prescription glasses, the straight arms and texture of the frame feels like they're not even there. In the past my normal glasses (Always wear Rayban frames) have felt uncomfortable and difficult to slide on after putting the lid on!

    I had a pair of the original Oakley five's sunglasses that were fine in the helmet.

    If your able definitely try daily contacts they are cheap and certainly way more convenient than glasses, monthly ones are possibly cheaper if you are wearing them a lot but more hassle with cleaning regime etc.
    So for occasional ride outs on the bike get a trial pack of daily lenses and see how you get on.

    I can highly recommend www.daysoft.com and their Silk lenses. Been using them for years.
