Helmet and glasses?
 

So as I now need my glasses on to see my gauges. I have a problem with the helmet foam interfering with my glasses. Glasses dont sit or stay in right place. Anyone else have an issue? Buy a larger helmet or cut out some foam are my only two options I see. Pain in the *** getting old.

I have a Bell helmet that has a large opening and I use glasses. My Simpson super bandit is ok as well, if your gauges are really mounted low, it can be hard to see them, especially with a neck collar. You might consider moving them if that is the case.

Just a suggestion from someone who lost a lot of $$$ once looking at gauges instead of where he should have , put in warning lights for the oil and temp, you will see them long before the gauge anyway. I used 2 temp senders to let me know if I had reached my desired temp and one for too hot.
I even advise my customers to loose the old 5" tachs in favor of digital tachs with multiple shift light settings .
much easier to see a light come on when staging instead of the tach if you launch on the converter instead of a 2 step .

I like the glasses with a straight temple instead of curved behind he ear. Much easier to deal with in the helmet

When I used to have that issue, I switched to the wire frames that gave a little more and was able to work with all those problems. I had multi-focal contacts for a while. I had to give them up because of always fabricating.

Now that I have had the cataract surgery and the yag procedure, don't need anything but sunglasses and readers. Still can't cut a light though.

I use the Bell full face helmet with the large opening. Works pretty well. Haven't had any issue with my glasses, other than the occasional fog up, using that helmet.

Use Simpson Balaclava.

For the budget minded, a Zamp full face works as well.

I used Armani Exchange hard frames with an open faced helmet.
Glasses worked fine.
