as a pilot and motorcyclist your product is amazing.
I need these 😔
So I didn't follow the link but used coupon code Lali so that means you should get credit for recommending them, correct?
@@shadesXL1220 Yes! Using either the code or the link gives Lali credit 😎 Thank you for trying us out!
Awesome, I can't wait for my try on kit to show up. I have a helmet that I can't wear that often because it is not eyeglasses compatible so this is going to be a huge help to me. Even though now I'm more aware of the brand since other channels are covering it, Lali was the first one who introduced me to flying eyes so I'm super glad that I could help support her somehow other than just watching the videos.
Use shaving cream (not get) for inside your glasses and sheild. It's the best hands down, and doesn't have any risk of scratching, minus the cloth you use to rub it with. And a dab will do ya. Literally, a small dab is enough for two lenses, and a couple of dabs for the shield. I ride through winter too (down to -25C) and it is the method that last the longest. My wife completely geeked out with you too, when you showed the sunglass attachment, and loves your video.
I feel like people ask this question all the time and I always tell them lift your visor from time to time. I've also noticed a lot of people never lift their visor which I just find odd since I pop it open at every stop (unless it's an emergency stop of course). It's part of my come to a stop procedure basically
I feel you as a fellow wearer of glasses. My prescription is light and I technically did pass the eye exam for my license last time. Barely. As I age, they’re getting worse and dammit, I need readers now.
Fogging is a problem and not just in the winter. I had fogging problems last weekend in California. Opening your visor helps clear them. I have never got contacts because I don’t want to have to mess with them. They seem like way more trouble and frustration than just dealing with fogging sometimes. And your story only adds additional reasons to why I don’t want to use them.
FWIW, I think those glasses look fine on you.
I use transitions lenses. Modern ones tint up pretty fast. I love them. I use a clear visor, which means when it gets dark, I’m still good to go.
Those Flying Eyes sound great. I don’t just ride for fun. I ride to work. Every day. Well, I did before Covid anyways. I’ve been able to work from home since them the majority of the time, but eventually I’ll be commuting a lot more. So having glasses more moto friendly would be really nice.
Wore contracts for years, honestly not worth the hassle and risk! Your not missing anything lol
Thank you for another interesting video.
For those of us old enough to require varifocals, measure the distance from your normal riding position, to the clocks and advise your optician of it, normally they are set up for a reading book/magazine distance, which differs from what is required.
I find that just adjusting the tilt of my head slightly allows me to find that focus point with my progressive lenses without any issues.
I have an Arai RX7-V, and I think it's one of the best helmet on the market for people who wear glasses. You can fit any pair of glasses inside them, even those very large Ray-Ban.
I'd also toss in the HJC Rpha 11 pro. I wear big ass aviators and they feel like they are naturally on my face without touching the helmet.
True, but if your frames are longer, they easily touch the rear of the helmet and move. Mine move.
I've been wear rx glasses while riding for years, I had to figure out things on my own.
1. buy glasses with straight temples- they go on and off easy with a helmet on.
2. Use a glasses case inside tank bag or get a windshield/handlebar pouch for glasses.
3. Secure your glasses in (2. above) whenever putting on or taking off helmet.
4. carry a small cleaning kit (alcohol spray/lens cloth/ or disposable wipes with you.
5. I have to carry 2 sets- Rx sunglasses and regular glasses. Having a pair made specifically for riding motorcycles with transition lenses + polycarbonate for maximum protection is a really good idea. Currently I have polycarbonate/polarized sunglasses, which are what I wear most of the time on the bike.
I take my helmet with me when getting new glasses, to test both for comfort and vision. I have found that Shoei helmets always seem to work well with glasses as they have. a cut-outs in the padding for the arms and different sizes of top and cheek padding to get the best fit.
I used to ride with a Shoei RF1000 and they were awesome for glasses
Agree. I have a 1200 and my raybans feel great in them.
I got a pair of prescription sunglasses about 2 years ago.. Polarized & prescription. I’ll never go back to regular, non-polarized or non-prescription sunglasses EVER again. 💯
Thank you for sharing these tips! Riding with glasses has proved to be more of a hassle than I initially predicted. I've broken two frames over the course of 1 year lol
Nerd alert!!! 😉
I've worn glasses inside helmets for about 2 years now. I always put sunglasses or safety glasses inside to protect eyes. Now that I am used to a prescription, I have to make choices on which glasses I'm going to use.
I absolutely agree with the no contacts thought. It's just so strange to not protect eyes.
I use contacts for sport, but happy with my glasses for riding. However, get in the habit of placing glasses somewhere safe when putting on or taking off the helmet. My glasses blew off my seat twice before learning this 8)
Interestingly when I used to ride in the cold in Canada, I ended up disassembling an industrial filtered respirator. I used the rubber mask portion that goes over the nose and mouth. Sealed up the 2 holes o the sides (for the filters) which left one hole facing downwards. I'd hold it against my mouth and nose while putting on the full face helmet. The helmet kept it in place and I never fogged my glasses or visor. There was no pin lock back then! Thanks Lali and Hi from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦.
See I normally do contacts because I have so many fogging issues with glasses though the Helmets I buy I make sure have eye glass channel. I do keep a spare set of disposable contacts and eye drops in my bag in case that spec of dirt shows up or any other contact issue. I also found on my 1k in a day down to NC last week that it's also a great idea to toss your contacts at 8 hours and pop in a fresh pair so they don't get super dry and uncomfortable. Great topic
I was looking for a solution that lets me wear prescription glasses both in low-light/night AND daytime/sunny weather that doesn't involve require me to carry several tints of visors, or a prescription pair of sunglasses that I can't wear at night. This nails it as an all-in-one - now I can keep the clear visor on AND be able to ride in day/dusk/night as needed! Excellent find Lali on Flying Eyes! Thank you!!!!
We can't wait to help make your life easier, Gabe! We hope you give us a try. 🙂
Finally a video on riding with glasses. I feel like I've seen videos when I started getting into riding, but they weren't as informative as yours, thanks
I started with system helmets with a drop-down sunshield from day one and it works like a charm. You put it on over your glasses, never have to take your helmet off or switch glasses. It's a tad more noisy, but you shouldn't ride without ear protection anyway. The little fog away spray takes care of the rest.
Put what on over your glasses?
Thank you for this video. I'd like to add: I have a LS2 Challenger helmet, and it comes with elastic bands for eyeglass spacing at the top of the cheek pads. So one could use like a hair tie or rubber bands to achieve the zip tie hack. It makes my script Oakley fuel cells bearable in the helmet.
I also wear glasses when riding. I have military issue bi-focal glasses and use a helmet that allows them to fit nicely. I found a different solution to the fogging. I use a snorkel. A tube with a right angle end that exits right at the bottom of my full face helmet on one side (the angled part I hold in my mouth). I only exhale through this snorkel. I only inhale through my nose and not through the snorkel, which brings in fresh air through the vents. I never have a problem with fogging since doing this, even at some of the winter temps I ride in... down well below zero F. And I can keep my visor closed all the time and use a neck gator which keeps the most of the cold air out.
“Why don’t you just wear contacts???”
Um..: cuz I don’t wear contacts... nor do I have a contact-prescription. (In CA you need separate ‘prescriptions’ for 👓 & contacts).
Not to mention the wind & road grime/debris. Totally NOT comfortable.
(Yes, I’ve worn contact lenses for years before. & I’m DONE with those. ESPECIALLY not going 2 wear them on a bike.)
Anywho.. yes Lali. “Check the video title, people’! 🙂
I wear a Bell Elimimator. Bell is really good about making some of their models that are “eye-glasses friendly”.. including the ‘Eliminator’ which I wear most often.
Anyways, thanks for the video about this topic for those of us that HAVE to wear glasses while riding. 🙌🏻🙌🏻 💯
I've ridden for 4 years with contacts and have had zero issues. I do use a chin curtain on my helmet sometimes, so nothing can get in, but even without it I've never had anything get in my eye. I feel like glasses cause more of a Hazard whet it comes to fogging lol. I don't wanna deal with my visor plus glasses, as well as the fitment issue lol
Those clip on sunglasses just made me very excited... And yeah - the bouncy glasses is definitely an issue, even with my HJC I70
They're glasses! They're sunglasses! They're... both? How convenient! 🤓😎
I've been wearing the same frames for the past decade for the sole reason they have matching magnetic clip on sunglasses. Apparently it was proprietary "technology" and couldn't be copied here in Canada. Flying Eyes here I come! :D
I recently tried contacts for the 1st time, couldn't get them out! Couldn't handle the eyeball touching, was fine getting them in, just not out.
Flying eyes have UK distributors so I'll be checking them out, many thanks for the upload, got a new subby here. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🏍🏍
Thanks for the video. I've only recently needed some reading RX glasses. Trying Flying Eyes and other brands. My challenge continues to be that when I look down the glasses rise up off the bridge of the nose. Or, put another way, they don't stay with my head and just stay lodged in place. Flying Eyes are probably the best at minimizing it but it still does it. Still trying to figure it out.
Perscription sports goggles can be had from even the cheap online retailers. Cloth strap in place of the glasses arms. Made for people playing football, inside football helmets. I think I got mine for $25 on line. I have not got around to trying them in a helmit though. I have a wedge shaped head so the temple pressure thing is not an issue. I also wear smaller frames with shorter arms so they also do not hit the back. But I bought them for it if I ever get remember to grabe them on the way out to the bike. There may be a makeup problem with them for anyone that wears that. They sit on the skin alot like diving goggles.
Titanium frame glasses with slim straight arms for riding (mine are 15+ years and more than 200.000 miles old: indestructible and imperceptible). Fogging is an issue when cold, nothing helps except little circulating air (visor open a tiny bit and fully opened when stopped in traffic). Bonus: you don't need a pinlock lens because visor fogging is not an issue :D Also, dont use breath defletor (above your Nose) and dont use scarf or balaclava over a Nose: both makes fogging unberable
Been riding on and off the street with prescription contacts for years, and never had a problem. Glasses can limit the type of cool helmets you can buy and limit the use of some helmet add-ons / features (Bluetooth speakers, colored visors, drop-down sunshades, defog helmet inserts, helmet chin curtains, pin locks etc). I can see wearing glasses under any helmet that isn’t a full face one, but it’s honestly just easier to wear contacts and put on / take off your helmet in a flash. Also, I wear contacts because it’s far comfortable to me in my daily life than wearing glasses, and night riding / driving is more manageable too. I use Acuvue Oasis breathable contacts and even when I accidentally sleep with them, they don’t get stuck or are uncomfortable in any kind of way. LASIK in definitely in my future though…🤓
I had Lasic over 20 years ago... 28 seconds one eye and 32 seconds the other... best minute I ever laid on a table for :P
This.
I do not wear my glasses when I ride, even though my helmet has a sun visor built in with the clear also, I prefer wearing sunglasses that wrap around my eyes so keeps air out and I keep the visor up when it is fairly warm out.
have you tried shaving cream for anti fogging ? just a little dab rub it around, wipe off excess. as long as you dont touch the lens, or get it wet, it wont fog. i have been doing this since the 80s and has never failed me yet. its easy and cheap too. good vid
Toothpaste works too, the non abrasive kind
Good info! Another tip for people like me. I am both a pilot and motorcycle rider, and like others, I wear bifocals. I like glasses that have adjustable nose bridge pieces. These keep the lower edge of the lenses from touching my cheek. They are less likely to slip down my nose from vibration or sweat. If they touch my cheek, the lenses fog more and get grimy. Like others mentioned, I also like transition style lenses. That way I don’t have to worry about glare, but I don’t need separate shades. I rarely use the drop down sunshade built into my helmet. I don’t carry contacts or sunglasses. I do carry a spare pare of identical glasses in case I lose them while flying.
I was one of those people that thought “why don’t they just wear contacts??” …until I was the one that needed glasses 😭 The struggle is real sometimes but these look like they’re worth a try 👌🏽
so im 40-80 with glasses so i have to have them to ride to and this was def a big help
Fantastic information. Thanks so much fellow blind rider 😁
My German made helmets are set up for glasses which helps. They are modular as well and I find that much more user friendly when it comes to glasses. I always have a dedicated pair of glasses for riding which are sized to fit well in the helmet. That said these glasses are well worth checking out. Thanks for the video. 🇨🇦
We hope you give us a try, Lyle! 🙂
I agree with you about contacts! Love your glasses.
If you are fortunate enough to have bought an adventure style helmet or one with an unusually wide eyeport you can also go with MX goggles. Which isolate your breathing from the glasses. They also tend to be very difficult to fog up for the same reasons a pinlock is difficult to fog up. As a side effect of this solution and because I use an ADV helmet. I can lower the visor while wearing goggles. Which means I don't need to swap visors ever if I get caught at night but can still protect my face from bugs and such.
TIL about Flying Eyes. Thank you!
I have the opposite issue most do that when I wear contacts, dust and debris *don't* bother me, whereas with glasses my eyes are constantly scratchy. Every once in a while, though, I wish I had a pair of glasses that fit while riding. The shaky-vision can almost get me motion sick.
I am fortunate in having a commercial sewing machine and I sew one pass along the temples at the ear piece frames, great mod !! Draws the padding down in the area, I do it for my chubby cheeks too :)
I wish I could ride with glasses. But I wear contacts always, never had your experience, so I will not try to even convince you otherwise lol. Bumpy roads with glasses makes things blurry for me. Especially riding my R1.. How you keep your frames from not shaking and blurring your vision? No worries if you don’t have time to respond. All good. Thanks for the great information in your vid.
I didn’t think I’d need anything, but now I must have it!
I haven't been on the highway with my contacts but as for city driving I haven't had a problem. My helmet (Speed and Strength SS4100) also has a little wind cover the goes right below my chin and keeps pretty much all the wind from swirling up into my helmet. For the people that want to wear contacts and ride I would suggest finding a helmet with that feature.
I added a DIY chin curtain by adding cloth to the chin area, stuffed into the gap between helmet foam and outer shell.
Riding in my glasses is not an optional thing for me. I can't even find my motorcycles without them! The sunglasses addition is very intriguing.
One solution that worked for me more than one reason, is buying the Interior of the helmet of a smaller size, so it will not be so tight on your face, I had to do this because the helmet sizes were not fitting correctly, so I bought an additional interior piece from a smaller size, and it fixed all my issues, and no the helmet don't feel loose or anything like that. I did the same with another helmet that I used for over 10 years and to this day, that helmet fits me perfectly and it is not loose even after so much usage. 🙂
Great info. Just ordered a pair of the Noctua riding glasses from Flying Eyes and used your discount code to save 10%.
Im a new rider and immediately my old glasses are definitely feeling the wear from squeezing into the helmet, an activity they just weren't designed for. Lol
Really Looking forward to getting some glasses that are comfortable for longer rides.
Thanks much and much love as always.
Thanks for ordering from us, Devin! We know you will love your Noctuas. 😊
I'm in the opposite camp here. I have always ridden with my contacts and have little trouble with them. Stuff happens either way, glasses breaking or contacts scratching. It's probably a good idea to have a contingency plan in either event. I don't think it's fair to completely write contacts off.
Thank you for the video. I'm looking all over the internet for a solution. I was super close to getting contacts😊
I feel like motorcycle googles might be a good try. The WWII type you can prescription ones.
I found removing the chin curtain makes a good improvement for additional air flow.
I love that you can crack yourself and me up while helping with this issue lol
I just got my first Prescription glasses at age 60 last Summer. Have not used them much . I wear a size small Helmet.. I have Childrens frame glasses they are Durable and Sam's Club gave me the second frame for free. Plus I have Bi-Focals .. now I can actually read my Instrument panel and GPS. My second pair have dark lenses.. Like Sun glasses.
I am in early stages of Cataracs is why I need glasses. Working outside in the bright sun for years plus being a skibum takes it's toll on the eyes..
I just road 1,700 miles in 4 days .. I rode from Kalamazoo MI to Lima OH to watch the Flat Track races then I rode down to the Tail of the Dragon for two afternoons of riding.
Today I just rode 4 miles round trip to the store with out my glasses. Now that I am more used to them they really do help .
Now I am thinking of getting some Prescription actual bikers glasses. I started to study last night after seeing a video posted by Rx Sport glasses. I will post a link ..
As far as snowmobiling goes.. it seems the glasses fog up no matter what.. If I am going slower than 15 MPH I have to have my visor up or cracked open some ..
Thank you for the helpful tips! I have been wearing glasses ever since and it is one of the limiting factors when it comes to helmets for me.
Been looking for something like this glasses. I been desperate ly looking for a helmet that wound fut my glasses. But a pair if glasses that will fit my helmet genius.
Just placed an order for the Kingfisher frames with Rx lenses and used your discount code. Thanks Lali!
Great Info Lali! I too have to ride with glasses and cannot ride with contacts. Will be using the discount offer mentioned in your video for my next pair of glasses.
As Always: Thanks !
Good stuff Lali! The fogging up is a thing for sure. Sprays do help but indeed with temp differences they can fog up still. Or with high humidity as well. Vents/visor open does the trick then haha the struggles.
I generally mix it up in colder weather I use contacts to avoid fogging - but always take my glasses with and should I have any drama like dust etc as you described because they are disposable - toss them and put the glasses on - Luckily to date I haven't had to do that - I also use a module helmet so getting it on with glasses is not a problem
You just knew Lali would go with the spicy looking clip on shades 💯✌️🤟🤘
Yes 😂 won't lie
I wear a snorkel with my helmet, totally solves the glasses fogging.
I have not tried it but I'm thinking it's possible you could also put like a single or double stitch line in the padding just in the section where the arms of the frames go in. it should compress the padding if it is a good nylon thread..... Maybe
I wear glasses as well. I tried on a ton of helmets before buying the HJC I70 . The helmet has relief in the corners for glasses. I'm very satisfied
Hi. I’ve been riding for years and recently switched to using a motocross style helmet with goggles. It’s brilliant. You can buy inserts for goggles (skiers use them) with prescription lenses and they just clip in. Not very expensive. And the bonus is that goggles don’t steam up!
Lali thanks for your info blogs I have come to enjoy them. I am a pilot and active motorcycle rider and all you said was spot on. The cycle of trying so many things over the years because no one shared what you did. Good job and not to be creepy but you have beautiful eyes. Keep up the great work.
My top tip is if you're buying new glasses take your helmet with you and see how they fit into it... and if you're buying a new helmet try your glasses on with it! Otherwise yes, ventilation is key, unless I'm doing 70mph all vents are open and visor goes up at every stop. I live in Scotland though and the one thing I've not solved is keeping things ventilated in the rain without getting drops on my glasses! Especially not fun when riding at night.
What I've done to several of my helmets is zip-tie the top part of the cheek pads where the arms of my glasses go, it works excellent.
Maybe you were the one that gave me the zip tie tip on the first video haha, so I mentioned it in this one
This is really good info.... My Icon Air Flite helmet will pull the silicone ends off of glasses every time i take them off. I highly recommend glasses with solid earpieces. It's also hard to find glasses that work with an internal drop-down visor.
Thank you for this!
Good video once again Lali !! Well another option , this is what I did last 2 pairs I purchased… I took my go to Arai Signet Q helmet with me and after picking out 2-3 different frames that I liked I see how they fit with the helmet on .My lenses are those progressive (look down for reading / straight out or level for distance) … so critical that the glasses sit perfectly on your face .this is my priority when i pick a pair .. I will look into that company you spoke about ..keep up the good work you are very insightful especially for how young you are !! Stay safe out there .
Felicitari pt video, am intrat si eu in randul celor cu " 4 ochi", acum pe frig se aburesc foarte tare, vedem la vara, asfalt uscat.
I just got this Mission CKX Helmet in Mid December have not had a chance to try it on a motorcycle in the Cold .. It has a mouth piece that full covers your Mouth .. It has venturis in the back that suck your breath out of the helmet when you are moving..
I've always liked the idea of prescription helmet visors or perhaps pinlock type prescription inserts.
That being said, I'm totally about to visit the Flying Eyes link. Thank you for doing the research and sharing the information.
Was literally trying to suggest an updated video on helmets for glasses 2022, but this is much appreciated
Great video Lali, I wear Ray Ban's wayfarers (prescription clear and I also have prescription tinted ones) and I am having a lot of issues to fit them properly into my Klim modular helmet. They are big and chunky, but I just love them. Pressure points and wiggly vision are common but after fighting a bit I can fit them into the helmet (just barely). The problem is when I lift the chin section of the helmet (the whole point of having a modular) because I could ruin the whole fitting process and I have to start all over again. Cannot ditch the modular helmet, it's just great to be able to lift the chin during gas stops and when is hot. Need new frames.
We hope you'll give us a try! We won't disappoint. 😎
@@FlyingEyesWorld do you take insurance? :)
HAHHAHAHA
"That is a nerd trying to look cool!!"
Hahaha Thanks for your informative review and suggestions for us blind eyeglass riders.
Thank you x100 !!!
I always get reactor light lenses which ( as the name suggests ) reacts to sunlight and darkens them to sunglasses if needed or clears the lenses if not ( like for night riding ). You can also get reactive visors if thats your deal.
I do too - we call these transition lenses here in New Zealand.
Same here in Australia.
I'm in the market for glasses to wear with my helmets. I will definitely look into Flying Eyes.
Best video yet! Very informative and concise for those of us that need glasses to see clearly whilst sweeping through our fav set of bends. Could have done with this about 4 months ago when touring NZ South Island, man there were some decent headaches from tight fitting glasses on that trip.
This was the first time I didn't skid the sponsor part of the video. I'd love the see something like that in Europe.
I just bought a Scorpion R1 Air and my glasses fit perfectly
Had a shoei gt air for 4 years and no issues with my glasses. Upgraded to a gt air ii and again zero issues. Except the inevitable fogging , but I always leave the visor open a crack.
This just showed up in my feed. Great job explaining Flying Eyes and why they work so well under helmets! Thanks!
That's the main issue I have in the winter. It's also an issue with the helmet issue. Accidentally leave it in the garage for the bike lol. But I crack my visor just a little bit and it helps out a lot.
My first helmet had glasses slots, and it was a bell modular. My second helmet was a bell helmet but it didn't have glasses slots. My fault for assuming. But my biggest struggle is trying to get the glasses under My hair so I can get it over my ears. Even if I have my hair back in a ponytail it seems like there's always some wild hairs that keep me from getting my glasses over my ears. It's annoying.
I have a HJC i10 and a Sedici Strada II carbon helmet and the strada 2 have fogging problems with the chin guard in the i10 doesn't have one and I never have a problem fitting the glasses in the i10 nor fogging really good helmet as for the strada it's good but unfortunately if I don't want my glasses to fog I had to remove the chin guard.
Thank you for mentioning both, Celsius and Fahrenheit and not only one! Oh, I watch a lot of motorcycle content on TH-cam, but I will never understand Fahrenheit and the imperial system. So, thank you very much. Greetings from Germany! I couldn't do anything else than subscribe.
As a scientist and Romanian person living in the US, now I deal with both lol 😂 and yards...ounces...teaspoons...still make no sense to me
I was just told by the eye doctor I have to have glasses so your video is a huge help because I plan on getting a motorcycle within the next year or sooner. ( 1st time I seen the ete doctor in about 14+ yrs lol)
I too ride with glasses. Forget contacts because they dry out even with the vents shut. What I do when I ride my sports bike on track I have a pair of glasses inverted so that in the crouched position I can see up instead of being blocked by the top of the frame. I got the idea from Dennis Taylor former world snooker champ who wore his glasses inverted when playing snooker.
Your part of the dust in eyes with contacts makes so much sense. Also, I used to always drive with contacts and I noticed it dries my eyes out much more and makes daily wear much more unforgiving. Glasses is much safer and easier to use while riding. Even for commuting. I just apply my contacts at work and take them off before I leave (if im riding)
Umm and rocks hurt. You shouldn't ever ride without eyes protection
I have metal frame glasses, they are flat and can be flexible to bend so it fits snug over the ear. This holds the glasses better on the face and take up almost no room inside the helmet. I do the leaving a gap under the shield too it wokr great untill I start to pick up speed then I just fully close the shield. Great tips thanks.
Riding w glasses is such a pain! When I use anti fog the moisture still sticks to the lenses and blurs my vision. I use Aria helmets and the new models have a channel for your glasses and works pretty well. I'm going to check out Flying Eyes for my next pair of glasses. Between my Aria and those I should be super comfy.
OMG Thank you for this. I am about to get a new bike and was wondering how to prevent this.
1:45 people telling you everything in the bathroom but the right thing. its shaving cream. in fact, that's the only reason I have a can of Barbasol in my home, because I don't shave. it works.
0C/32F - I love it when Lali gets “Doctor-y”. (I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer - but, loyal like a dog).
Particals // Yep, went to the Middle East - inserted the contacts once and they were ruined (I found out the next time I tried to utilize them). No amount of saline solution or heat (to disinfect them) would remove the imbedded material. Lots of sand blowing around in that area of the world.
Thank you for the very informative video. After watching your video, I did some more research on Flying Eyes and eventually ended up getting a Try-On kit (two kits, in fact) to see which frame would fit me and would look good on me. I have subsequently bought a pair (the Luzon) and two different clip-ons each with a different color. I can't wait for the pair to arrive so I can finally begin to be comfortable on long motorcycle rides with my glasses.
Thank you Lali. Because of this video, I am now looking into getting a pair of these glasses. I have also seen a few other videos now talking about these glasses. So I think it is time to set this in motion. Ride safe.
Glad it was helpful!
I found that glasses that wrap around the head rather than the hook downwards work much better for riding with. I personally use Oakleys cause they work well.
Hm, I use a modular helmet and "pilot" style glasses and kind of bend them into shape, it works just fine!! You have magical, beautiful eyes 😄. Big thanks for this video!!!
Thanks for this tips! I use glasses 24/7 lol, Im glad my Scorpion EXO-1400st works well for people with glasses.
To keep from fogging your glasses, "blow down" as if you were trying to blow on a hot cup of coffee or soup. Your breath goes down & out the bottom of your helmet at the front, until you get up to speed, then the wind will take over. I do it all the time as I find riding at speed isn't good with the visor up.
Give NU finish car polish a try on both sides of the glass on your glasses and wait untill it dries and wipe clean with a micro fiber cloth and see if that helps the foggy lens.
It's so god-dam hot in Houston I've never had the fogging problem.
Shoei RF-1400 and it's pretty good with glasses, however; mine are progressive lenses and it will move them enough I have trouble reading some signs. I have yet to find a company that can build progressives to the quality I currently have. I even had a pair of Zeiss lenses and they were horrible. So I've given up on the "aftermarket" glasses market.
