    Replacement linings are also available; external ancillaries *may* be.

    Never had *that* [1] problem with the Gunwind. Not even with the
    aviator style specs with extra large lenses.

    One thing I have noticed with all combinations of helmets/specs is
    that if I struggle to get my legs behind my ears its time for a hair
    cut.

    [1] The side-pods and visor fixings have now gone permmanently AWOL
    and no way I am paying *that* much for replacement parts.

    You've never considered running your knuckles across the lining, from
    the opening to where your ears live, then?

    What? Eh?

    Try some context in future, Elric.

  5. Try what I do when I wore (and still do occasionally) my Lazer revolution -

    1)leave specs on ears/nose

    2) open flip front until it 'clicks' to stay put

    3) pull lid on as normal - watch fingers if front drops cos 'clicky'
    isn't 'clicky' enough.

    4) job done once you've done the strap up etc.

    it's great if you can do it - until the day you switch back to a full
    facer and try to get it on without removing specs. Or removing it with
    them in situ :(

    well, yes.

    Me too. I've had Shoei's and Sharks. Don't seem to have any problem
    with these + glasses. Come to think of it, I do put my glasses back on
    when i'm trying them on. Must be a subconscious thing.

    Oh and the fact I can't see what it looks like without them ;-)

    Cheers

    Paul.

    No, bollocks to the speccy twats. It's better that they stay off the
    road, the blind cunts. FERITE.

    Nah. Prescription visor. It's the only way forward.

    They don't seem to like you doing that in the shop.
