As a fellow blind rider. All I can say is thank you. 😄😀
Hello my blind brother 😂👓
Lol, well hello fellow blind riders! :)) Wanna start a blind rider social club? :)
@@theuniqid that'd be cool.
@@AntiParallali >>> You could create an association -- either real or virtual -- of _"blind"_ Lady bikers, and call them *_"The Helen Keller's"._*
{I will see myself to the door now...😉}
When i go to make new glasses, i bring my helmet with me. The frame that passes the test will be the one
That's a good idea!
I do that too.
I do this as well.
That is actually 1000 IQ, will do in my next visit to the store.
@@casg75 i thought this is standard for all with glasses :)
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!
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.
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.
Wish I could wear contacts. Tried all brands. Contacts make my eyes irritated and had to use steroid drops for a month.
That was an answer I was looking for. Thanks
I wore contacts for years and I've gotten to the point where I just can't wear them anymore and I went back to glasses years ago.
I tried to wear contacts, as some of the comments suggest it, it works, but when you drive fast no matter how you closed all the vents in the helmet, its kinda dry my contacts and wprroed it might pushed all the way through my eyes, so I came back wearing glasses again. Just using anti fog wipes, works like a charm.
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!
New rider with glasses here and over 60 years as well. I just pop my visor off before my ride, spray shaving foam onto the inside part of visor let it sit while I do my glasses. Once that is done I buff out the inside of the visor and Presto, "Absolutely no fog up", Love it. Great video please keep them coming..
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.
This just popped up on my recommendation and I instantly liked because finally someone shares the struggle 😩
"Holding my breath while I'm riding" I felt that hahaha this and opening the visor just a bit works for me haha
...I normally have a camera pointed at my face so that when I am getting blue in the face I will take a breath...
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!
Absolute gold in terms of advice! And sensationally presented. I could listen to this young lady all day! Will definitely buy my next set of glasses with an ultra thin steel frame. Much appreciated... oh & regarding the fogging issue, yes, I too ride with my visor open at the 1st click. Works a treat! ✌️
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 👍
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.
Excellent video Lali, have this problem its definitely the colder you get the worse it gets....
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.
Just received my contacts and I'm stoked for this summer riding
Just don’t open the visor while riding haha the wind will dry out the contacts pretty quick and can get pretty bad
Great presentation, Lali, and terribly relevant to my rising situation. (Dig the helmet-hair, too.) I'm on my second-ever full-face helmet, an in both instances I made point to find one that was more spectacle-friendly, and it helps *lots*. Pretty much do all the stuff you mention, except treating my lenses with anything. *But*, one thing I do in seriously-cold weather is allow both glasses and helmet visor to acclimate to outdoor temperature before putting them on: even though my visor has a Pinlock shield on it, this actually helps keep initial fogging to a minimum. Of course, as I might've mentioned in the past, I'm silly enough to not only ride when it's silly-cold, but also silly-wet. (But not both at once…had one non-fun incident doing that, learned my lesson.)
Great tips! I’ve been riding for over 11 years but only been wearing glasses for around 5 years so adapting to riding with them was interesting. I don’t get along with contacts so having the right glasses and the right helmet is really important for me.
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..
Yep, done that before 🙈
Great vid, and great info! I’ve found the helmet makes a big difference. My aria was designed for glasses, my shoei isn’t bad, but cheap helmets you gotta jam them in there and maybe break them. When I was young it was way harder especially with snowmobiling and dirt biking goggles, now they got prescription inserts and stuff.
I wear glasses and bought my helmet early. What I've found is a problem similar to your glasses # 3. I've finally purchased a mechanic special 1983 goldwing. So once I finally start riding... I'm glad you've addressed issues like this.
Great video Lali. Been riding with glasses for over a decade now. Where I am in north GA I don't have to worry much bout foggy lenses since it's cold here like 3 months outta the year but still rideable and little to no snow at times. So just leave my vents open. Fitment was my main issue till I switch to thin metal frames. Will try the anti fog stuff next fall/winter here.
Yes I absolutely agree with you on the thinner frames with the helmet, I got a couple pairs of thinner framed glasses for that reason. Good video for us riders who wear glasses! 🤓💯👍
Very good video, glad someone did it, for our 4eyes riders, such as myself. 😆 been riding for 7 years and I make sure my glasses are compatible for my helmets.
Thanks Lali. Take care and stay safe.
New subscriber.
This is the first video I watched . I found you through “doodle on a motorcycle “ .
I have to tell you the quality of your video is fantastic. The production and editing are very professional. Well done 👍
I don’t even wear glasses but enjoyed all your tips and insight.
Welcome aboard!
Great subject! I never had much luck with metal or metal/plastic combo frames. Metal temples and nose pieces tend to weaken and break after a while of jamming them into helmets. Sometimes cause damage to the cushions of your helmet too. I really enjoy using transitions lenses on my glasses! And don't forget, if you're traveling a good distance. Take a spare pair of glasses just in case.

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:

LS2 helmets are good with glasses too. Both my current helmets are LS2's, they have a channel in the padding to suit glasses. The full face one does cause a bit of fogging but the 399 Valiant flip-up one doesn't unless I'm stopped in traffic but it's mightn't be good for motor Vlogging, the chin vent can make a whistling noise when closed.
Fogging up is why I ride open face..And keep visor semi open to let air in. Anti fog sprays also help on glasses. Also Vari or Bifocals are useful if you have eyesight range issues and need to read a map on your phone in a holder...I drive 8hrs a day 5/6 days a week as a scooter food courier.
Good one... but it's better to use contacts while u drive in cold weather..
@Lali - Another tip (glasses wearer biker here from the best fogging country - the UK haha)... Over time, I got a 2nd pairs with plastic arms with either straight arms, or trimmed down the curved (around ear) part so that the glasses just slid right between helmet and ears without me having to wangle them up over and around my ears when putting them on (makes it easier to take them off too.... Ride safe girl, and all the best! 😁😎
i have a 2 hole in my visor for constant airflow so my classes don't fog .....
This is something i found by watching an f1 driver making hole in visor for preventing fog during rain
I find a modular flip up helmet perfect for riding. Easier to remove/add glasses. I flip up if needed at low speed for increased air flow .
Your vlogs are very professional and useful.
Stay safe.
When I rode when I was younger, early 20's no glasses. Started riding again last year and now with glasses. Thank you for the tips.
This is a super relevant albeit sadly neglected aspect of bike riding.
Respect for an intelligent and helpful subject.
This is on the money. I wear ultra-light frames from Ovvo Optics normally cause I like light frames, and it works fantastic.
RE: Fog, fog is a struggle. I live in Canada, so cold weather riding is pretty much always. Your tips are really good, I would add one thing, pinlock is pretty useless for glasses wearers, I find my glasses are almost always going to fog way before my visor.
Thanks for the content! I ride with glasses too, just let the visor a little open and it works good, I usually prefer to ride with visor fully open but using a big windshield to minimize insect impact 😅
I just discovered your channel. I think it is amazing!! Good luck with the PhD!! 🤗🤗
good video, i didnt know i needed these tips untill you started breaking them down. I just delt with the misery. thanks for the tips.
FWIW: I just found your channel after seeing you featured in a video by _Doodle On A Motorcycle._
My first motor vehicle was a motorcycle, but at the time I did not need glasses.. I would like to purchase a bike in the near future and I now wear glasses so it's an issue for me.
Also subbed to your channel...👍
I always liked the sort of wrap around sunglasses too they seemed to fit better between the padding of helmet. Have fun and be safe.
I don’t even wear glasses but I loved this video and feel like I really learned something. Thanks.
i didn't know i need this. Glad it appeared on my feed!
Thanks Lali...got a new frame on your recommendation :)
Useful content! Carry on Lali ✌
You sound like a host for SciShow; clear, articulate, and not too slow nor fast.
1st time here Enjoyed the information. Thanks ,I will look for more content.
Hi Lali, I wear Oakley glasses. I find the wrap around feels comfier than the ones that wrap around behind your ears. The Oakleys only wrap around your head. I also find it easier to keep your glasses on then put the helmet on after. I find it more difficult to put the helmet on then squeeze in the glasses. Although I wear a modular helmet so it’s easier to put on the helmet after the glasses and having the chin part of the helmet open. Then I close the chin part after I put the helmet on. You are right about the fogging. I try to keep the visor open just a crack to get air flow through. Also keep it open a crack when stopped. Great videos by the way. Keep them coming.
Thanks for the TIP! We'll be sharing it with our followers!
Thank you for your very helpful and enjoyable vlogs😊Just trying out my new AGV K1 helmet with my glasses - not road tested the new helmet yet, so I might have similar problems - it is eywear compatible it says! Thanks again 😊
Thanks for all the great tips! I also shop at Zenni Optical. They do have affordable eye glasses and a lots of frames. I currently have metal frame glasses and they work great. Safe riding!! 😄🏍
Quality content + quality editing + rider = subscribe and thumbs up!
My glasses are everything wrong. Chunky, thick and wide frame. Glad there's an eye appointment soon so with this video, I'll know what to look for. Contact lenses have flaked off on me while riding so it's not an option.
Hi Lali, As always, some great advice with plenty of ideas to try, but misting up, will always be a problem until someone can invent a gravitational lens!
I just came across your video by accident. Being a rider that wears glasses I liked your advice. I'm going to look for more of your videos. Stay safe.
Thanks Thomas! Glad it helped and welcome! ❤️
Great video! I found thin metal Oakley frames at Costco that have no downward curve behind the ear. They sit in the glasses groove of my Shoei and kinda' levitate without touching my face at all. Perfection, no pressure points.
I know exactly what you are talking about, really annoying and potentially dangerous situation 😬 But visor and vents combination saves the day 👍🏼
Thanks for the tips ! I dig your videos keep it up !!
Good video. I'm thinking of checking out flexon frames at my local eye Mart. I'll check out your channel more.
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.
Thank you for the cool & very informative tips 🙏 I usually open my visor just on the first click 😁. Ride safe mate ❤
This has been extremely helpful as I am usually the person in lensecrafters that bring there helmet to try on glasses
Yes! A great way to do it!
Good video, I've been riding 40+ years but only about 10 with glasses. I have small metal frames and keeping the vents open usually works for me. Taking the chain thing off will annoy you with too much air across your eyes.
You are the hero I’ve been asking for but only got a few months later
I have rode my motorcycle for several years and have had this problem. My helmet I also use for snowmobiling. I got a heat shield for snowmobiling and got a second power port and installed the on my motorcycle. It helps quite a bit and the other thing I do is just bearly crack the shield and they seem to work pretty good.
I’ve just got some muc off anti mist spray for your visor . Works perfect on glasses ! No misting when stationary 💪🏻
ahhh you’re just like me🥰🥰 thanks 4 all the useful little tips
you know what would really be awesome is if there are visors that have our eye prescription already in them so it’s a 2 in 1
I've worn glasses my whole life, and in 30 years of riding I've never really thought much about how I ride with glasses on. I've just always managed to make it work because I had to! 😁
Me too.
I choose the smallest frames I can get away with. Now that I wear progressive lenses and have to where larger frames. Modular helmets are easier than full face.
same here. I don't even use my visor because they are scratched up. Even in rain, Id just use my finger to wipe it every time it gets to difficult to see, and I would lower my visor about 25% and tilt my head down so the rain doesnt get to my glasses too easily. Also where im at many of the street lamps don't get fixed, but I just thought I had to, and never really thought about it. It was years later that I start to realise the conditions I was riding was probably truly unacceptable for other people, but it taught me a lot of ways on how to ride much safer too, also it makes me wonder why I didn't bother trying to make my life easier.
This actually seems like it’ll be super helpful
Thanks for the tips! It may also be a good tip for shatter proof lenses. I was riding on a hot day with my visor open and had a rock go through my lens and and shatter glass into my eye socket. I managed to ride to the hospital with an eye full of glass! All good now.
Yes, thank you for this! I def bring the helmet to the store. Strangely enough, my chunkier pricey Robert Marc frames fit perfectly into my helmet. Just happen to slide in between pads. Go figyuh. While my Mykita frames, metal thin/flat sides, etc...rise up and I'm lookin' through the lower reading portion. So ya never know, try'em out. Thanks!!
HJC i10 has superb space for glasses! Love my i10 helmet when wearing my glasses!
LIGHT MODE strips!!!
I'm actually going to buy me some of those soon!
Thank you! When the road is bumpy my glasses rattle which can distort my vision. It makes off roading more challenging, as well. Something else to think about for fellow glasses wearers.
Great video! As a fellow new blind rider I’ve tried most the tips you gave us but it seems that contacts are the best solution tbh or if you got the money just do lasik surgery which I might hopefully do it in the near future
This 8s good to know since I recently started wearing glasses and it can be challenging to fit them comfortably inside the helmet!
Really really good tips, I'd also say stay away from frameless glasses for riding, as I've found the part where the temples attach to the lens gets bent all to heck. Then you have to try to bend them back after riding. Also stay away from glasses with super flexible temples, as they bend while you try to push them between your face and helmet. They're impossible to get to sit right.
Hey lali I have a glasses tip for you that may change your life!
Not sure if you had loom bands in NA but if you didn't they are small hair bands. The kind you use for braids.
Take a band and put it over the cheek padding where the arms of your glasses normally sit then repeat on the other side.
Try it and smile 🙂
Love the helmet hair.
Shark helmets come with a glasses groove, or a flip front works too. Also the size of the aperture has an effect on how easy it is to fit/remove your glasses, touring helmets compared to a sports helmet are usually easier to do.
You can try washing up liquid, polished until dry, does work for a couple of hours.
For those of us maturer riders, if you now need varifocal glasses, measure the distance from your clocks to your eyes, (when seated normally) rather than "reading" distance makes seeing them a lot easier.
Haha yeah that static got me 😂
Yes I want to hear how you make your rides more pleasurable
A great video. Sadly, I also do not have a general solution to this. The fogging problem keeps me from using quite a lot of balaclavas which would be really warm. But when placed properly, I can see zero due to my glasses fogging. One solution I can see: at least for sunny days having an optical drop-down (sun) visor. Or maybe some kind of device to be stuck in the helmet (maybe that exists already)? But if it is sunny, again you don't need to worry about fogging...Otherwise, I just lift my visor a tad. I also love my modular helmet. Makes life with glasses much easier.
Thank you very much Lali.
100% helpful video.
🥸😎🤓
😍🤓
The paste lens cleaner work better than the sprays. At least for me they appeared to.
Love that Lalli is not afraid to show the Helmet Hair. 🤪👊🤘😎
Wow thank you! Great information. I wear glasses as well so the fogging is an issue at times. Thanks for listing the glasses friendly helmets. Great video. I'm a new fan 😊
Glad it was helpful! And welcome! 😁
Keeping vents open will help if you are moving. Once you're stuck in traffic, they will mist. Best bet is finding a helmet with pinlock.
@@jeannoelsandrazie1874 true but a pinlock visor doesn't keep your glasses from fogging
I have very thin titanium glasses frames. Long ago I found the modular helmets to be best for me. When it is very hot and humid and I get stuck in slower moving traffic I can flip it up for full airflow. Traffic around here is usually pretty mild. The only variation to this is during Sturgis rally. I live (normally) 30 minutes from Sturgis. During Rally expect to take an hour to get there. Until I got my current helmet, a Schuberth C4, I had no idea what a pinlock visor was. Now? I am not sure I could live without it.
I had the same problem with my glasses while I was snowboarding. Contacts, smaller glasses, and antifogging spray seemed to help.
Great tips! I was wondering about this problem
With my airflite I've found that I can open my visor slightly but still be mostly protected from the cold weather. It helps to crack it open at stoplights. Also I've found breathing through your nose instead of your mouth helps a lot as well. No taking deep breaths at stop lights during the winter haha
Mooi video met lali
Thx for your tips and links. Have tried a number of antifog sprays and none have worked. Will try your recommendations.
It's a struggle, even my eye doctor can't recommend one 😂
Try shaving gel. I used it on windows of me Nissan Serena C23. It worked quite well. Serena is greenhouse on wheels and fogging is serious problem on rainy weather. Only issue for me was a lot of time needed to remove streaks. For now I don't have bike to test this solution, but it worked for windows, so maybe for glasses it will too...
What you said is actually what i also do, except the glasses i use is flexible so it can easily fit on my helmet. It doesn't snow here but it does fog during rains when you're on stop or not moving, so i always slightly open the lid when on stop light but closes it while moving since there's enough airflow.
Fellow (partially) blind rider here. I didn't read through all the comments so don't know if these additional tips were mentioned but I felt these will help the situation. I've been riding with glasses for over 15 years now. For most of that time I've been using something that totally prevents my glasses from fogging up. I ride all year, sometimes in temps well below zero F (upper Midwest here). And I do this with no fogging of the specs! A co-worker told me of this idea and I adopted it for every time I ride when the temps are below 45 F when my glasses are prone to fogging up. I made a snorkel. It's simply a small diameter vinyl tubing elbow with a short length of clear tube that extends JUST to the bottom edge of my full face helmet on one side. I hold the end of the elbow in the side of my mouth like a classic old time movie gangster holds a cigar. I exhale out the snorkel to keep things clear behind the visor and inhale through my nose to keep fresh air coming in. Never had even a hint of fogging since doing this. Another tip about choosing glasses, to go along with all the excellent advise given in the video, is to choose glasses with relatively straight side bows. This makes it very easy to slide the glasses on in the helmet. I've had some glasses with more of a hook behind the ear and those can be impossible to slip into a helmet.
linky to snorkel: photos.app.goo.gl/jen5wZemuEZaKeAT8
I'm also a fellow blind rider lol thank you for this. Liked and subbed. Ride safe and keep that rubber side down.
I too ride with glasses.
I get the metal and wider side frame.
And YES to the face width definitely
Love this
I got a Shark Spartan Karken and it has been my favorite full faced helmet for glasses. My glasses fit and I can even use the internal sun visor without it hitting my glasses.
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.
Good tips!
Lali and readers helmet maker "LS2" makes their helmets at least the "Advantix" series with "Eyeglasses Fit System". Basically there are side channels in the padding to accommodate the temples so glasses EASILY slide back to the ears. Very nice.
Great tips, fortunately don't have to wear corrective lenses myself but same things apply to sunglasses (which I always wear). Current helmet (an agv) has a flip-down sun visor, very handy item, but then you don't have sunglasses when walking around off the bike, so still one more thing to put in your pocket or pack.
Good informative video, thanks.
BTW...I love your "Applying For" videos....you are a big screent talent!!! Thank you for giving me/us great content!!
Thank you lol, forward them to any movie directors you know 😂❤️
@@AntiParallali will do...
I have found that different helmets work better than others for fitting glasses. My current Shoei X14 has worked the best. I had a Bell that was awful.
I noticed all of the glasses you showed were without nose pads. In my experience, nose pads help a lot if riding on the track or off-road. A lot of vibration would lead to my glasses sliding down my nose, making them useless.
I also wear glasses when I ride, I use the Zeiss anti-fog wipes and they have worked good for me so far, I keep a few in the backpack I use when I go ride because you never know when you're going to need them, they're also good to clean your glasses with if you get smudges on them however I don't recommend cleaning bugs , road grime or dist off of them with the wipes because that could scratch your glasses. I have debated on going to contacts, that would completely eliminate the need for glasses but also presents its own set of problems
Love this, I have to ride with my glasses on the tip of my nose until I get going and they de-fog. Helmet makers, consider a glasses cut out please
