i wear glasses all the time. im blind as a bat with out them. but when im riding every time i hit a bump my glasses move blurring my vision. its super annoying and not safe at all. i thinks whats happening is there rubbing on the padding on the side of the helmet and when the helmet moves a little so do they. whats the best way to fix this with out getting contacts? i thought about cutting some padding out but i figured that wouldn't be good because its all put there for a reason.
I use a nikko N913 in an XL. but my glasses do the same thing in my HJC off road that i use for my quad. not quite as bad tho

my helmets fit, nice and snug, and i always use the chin strap.

also does any one have a recommendation as to some prescription riding sunglasses. good brand and all that good stuff
 
I use the Scorpion exo 700 helmet, and cut some of the pads where they rub against my glasses, worked like a charm.
I went with that helmet because, well it was cheap lol and those pads were designed to be modified if needed... But I AM going to get contacts soon.
 
Do what i did. Go try on helmets with your glasses. Youll find the best one that fixes your problem.

tl;dr get a better helmet.
 
i am not certain its a helmet issue but more of a glasses adjustment problem.I have a shoei tzr and had no problems with a previous pair of specs but needed a change of perscription so i replaced my worn out frames. The new ones were ok for a month then they move and really make riding on bumpy roads dangerous which in Australia means every road. i went back to the optical store and spoke to the manager and he changed my nosepads and adjusted the frames (bent and heated them) until they sat securely. I went out smiling and so far the fix is good.
 
Id say get a second pair of glasses and have then wrap the ends around your ear more so they fit more snug. When I say second pair I mean a cheap pair you wont care about if something happens to them (ie. Sat or or scratched)
