Tips for riders that wear glasses

I don't think its the room for the glasses with a full face but the initial start-up of having to put glasses on bike and then put helmet on and reverse when the rides over.

Is the convenience of modular worth the extra weight and noise?

I hated wearing glasses so much with helmets that I got lasik eye surgery to correct my vision. Contacts just bothered my eyes too much.

Yeah its the initial start up. Today I purchased a Shoei RF-1100, upgrading from a HJC CL-MAX 2 Modular.

Glasses fit fine with the full face however I still find it easier to put on and take off glasses with modulars because you can have the chin guard in the up position. However its not a deal breaker for me. To me that was the only slight benefit of having a modular helmet. Modulars help a bit when talking to others when the talk is not long enough to warrant full helmet removal. Its better talking with a chin guard up than just the face shield open. Again these are still minor and I absolutely LOVE the RF-1100 helmet. Its only my second helmet but I just cant believe how much better everything is over the HJC.

I don't think I can do contacts. Its either lasik or live with riding with glasses.

I first started riding with glasses on but it became really uncomfortable so I got contact lenses... Best thing ive ever done

For Modular helmets between $200-$300, are the models from Bell, Nolan, Scorpion, HJC the best choices?
Any feedback on these helmets?

I wear glasses, an I'm using an Arai Astro-IQ full face (japanese version), which is the RX-Q in north america. The liner has 2 slots at the glasses arm height which works very well. You can look into that as well.

I would have bought the Shoei Multitec if it had an internal visor. I can't justify spending twice the amount for a Neotec just to get a visor. At the price point of $300, every other vendor offers an internal visor.

Between a Nolan N90 (revzilla $220) and a HJC Symax 3 ($270), which one would be better?

I like the pinlock feature on Nolan but prefer the look of the Symax, I just find it strange that the visor lever is on top of the helmet.
