Sunglasses and helmets 8 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
Am I the only one that has difficulty finding sunglasses that fit well inside my helmet? I've been using a pair of Smith Slider sunglasses for a few years. They've been great but I'm ready for something new. Every pair of glasses that I've tried, except for my Smiths, has a problem with the earpiece tips sticking into the helmet padding before I get them all the way on. Does anyone have any suggestions?

1. Use a skull cap or helmet liner (Sliks). Once you get the eyeglass temples started inside the liner they should go in more easily.

2. Use a flip face helmet.

I started using the Nolan with the built in sunshade & the sunglasses became moot.

I ended up switching to a Caberg Trip flip up helmet and now most sunglasses I try fit fine under the helmet. I had to order the helmet from a store in England. The bonus with this helmet is that it has an internal sun visor so if I don't feel like wearing glasses, I don't have to. I like to ride with my visor open and in that case the sunglasses do a better job than the sun visor because they are closer to my eyes and block the wind better.
