As a fellow blind rider. All I can say is thank you. 😄😀

[kayinoue]

Girl, this is probably THE MOST relatable motorcycling video I've seen as a fellow blind af person LOL. Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips!

[tassieadventurerider]

As a blind rider also, I find that a pin lock visor works great to reduce fogging. The trick is to leave the visor and vents closed and after the glasses warm with the inner screen you will have no issues in cold weather.

When i go to make new glasses, i bring my helmet with me. The frame that passes the test will be the one

I doubt you'll see this as I am late to watching this vid and in turn commenting. As a glasses wearing, 20 year+ riding, all year round rider in the UK, I thought I'd add my tuppence (two cents), as almost every day is cold in old blighty. First off totally concur with the glasses frames choice. I have gone one step further and have a set of super thin, flexible, metal memory frames on my bike glasses. The frames bend to match the pressure applied to them and spring back when you take them out of the helmet, so you cannot tell you have glasses on in the helmet. Also look out for helmets that have a channel in the foam for glasses, some helmets actually market this.
With regards to fogging, first thing I always do to every helmet is remove the stupid bit of plastic they put at the bottom of the visor opening that ducts air towards your face, the nose bridge bit; in this vid you still have it fitted to yours. Removing that makes the biggest difference. It does mean that more of your breath gets to the visor itself, potentially fogging that up, but fitting a PinLock to the visor solves that. Lastly washing up liquid (I believe you Americans call it dish soap) applied and buffed into the lenses to reduce the surface tension of the water droplets in the condensation prevents almost all fogging of lenses. These steps allow me to ride fog free all through the winter here in Blighty.

For the fogging glasses problem, Arai has a Pro Breath Mask, it replaces the stock rubber breath deflector, fit snug on your nose dividing the chamber in your helmet to a ‘upper eye compartment ’ and a ‘lower nose/mouth compartment ’. Since your breath is kept away from the eye compartment, there will be no condensation on glasses. I live in Canada and I ride with it and pin lock the whole winter with no problem.

These are good motorcycle helmets for glasses wearers, they have less padding around the area where your glasses would slide in, leading to less pressure points:

This just popped up on my recommendation and I instantly liked because finally someone shares the struggle 😩

[brianmcintosh]

Just received my contacts and I'm stoked for this summer riding

[stevebonner]

Try Shark helmets, they have padding suited to glasses. Me and my wife wear glasses and use Shark helmets with no problems. Plus they have a drop-down sunvisor 👍

Nice! I'm a fairly new rider, and I wear glasses, and I've been watching a LOT of motorcycle videos. You are the first person that I've come across that gives tips on how to ride with glasses. Fortunately I wear wireframe safety glasses, and they are small, and the rims are very thin, so they fit comfortably on my face when wearing a helmet. I will try out some of the tips that you gave with regards to fogging. That's the one thing that drives me completely crazy, the fogging!

[robertl]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the suggestions.. I know how it feels when they suddenly fog up and you're left looking for a spot to pull over quickly..

[JustRosa]

I've actually pulled the trigger on getting contact lenses because I started riding.. It's really nice since you don't have to worry about this.

I just bought a Nexx Gridline SX100r helmet and I can say my glasses fit sweet inside of it.
Ive wore glasses all my life and my best tip is buy thin armed and thin small framed memoflex frames.
Memoflex is a metal that bends. Mine are Ray Bans but other companies make memoflex too.
There is a multitude of creams out there that you can coat your specs with to stop fogging.
I use it on my visors too. Just ask any optician.
Oh and I live in England where it rains permanently too, so it's a real problem here.
My visor is never ever closed....ever!!
I ride with the visor open to the first click so it's open... Just.

There are days when it just happens, like winter when it's pouring down or snowing, but you just gotta crack on with it
It's a bummer but there's no way on earth I'd wear contacts.

Hey Lali, I was wondering if you ever tried scuba diving anti fog drops. I used to scuba dive and never had an issue with my mask fogging when I used the drops. A drop or two and spread it around and wash it under faucet before leaving the house, I would suggest shake it dry or using an air dryer. I hope this helps and the one I used was "Sea Drops" or "500 PSI"

[bcrcoto]

"Holding my breath while I'm riding" I felt that hahaha this and opening the visor just a bit works for me haha

[michaelkovach]

You hit all the key points on wearing glasses with your helmet. I too wear very thin frame glasses commuting to work every morning with the visor partially open.

[shaneashley]

Love it that flying eyes used your video to promote their product on Facebook. I love seeing my favorite youtube celeb making it big.! Way to go Lali!

Kudos on some great tips! Fellow blind rider here for 20 years- I have tried all the recos here but here's what works for me now 99.99% of the time- Respro Foggy Mask. I just need to be patient to make sure I put the helmet on correctly so there is a good seal under the eyes. Removing the chin skirt def helps here as well. All my helmets have it...except the modular one.

I live in a tropical country and I am also a fellow blind rider. Idk how effective this method is in areas with colder climate, but it works for me even if I have to ride under a heavy rain.
Try to find glass frame with straight arms and straight tip rather than the bent/hook tip. It is easier to fit and also, it kinda solve the fogged up lenses problem because I can always adjust my glasses to be a little bit further away from my eyes (to get better airflow) since it doesn't need to actually sit on my nasal bone. The clamping force from the padding of my helmet is enough to keep the glasses right where I wanted to be, so it doesn't really matter if it kinda "floats away" if you get what I mean. I know it gets wiggly sometimes and it's not really that comfortable, but it isn't as dangerous as not being able to see the road because of the fogged up lenses.
