Default Helmet + glasses, how do you do it?

This is mainly a question for the guys and gals that wear glasses.

I just purchased a helmet and it fits nice and firm but i cant fit my glasses in it and i dont have contacts. Is it ok to cut a notch or something from the sides to fit my glasses through the cushion? Or how do you do it? Im not seriously blind and i could see the finish line without glasses but my glasses always help better.

LOL... I've got this problem. My glasses still press in through the padding and hold snug though. I think I bent the one piece before though... atleast I atribute that to the helmet. Mine's an HJC helmet.

HJC 3/4 helmet. Put on the helmet, then slide the glasses on.

verry carefully, I took a few passes today with my Ear buds in listing to some slip knot. It only hurts when you rip your helmit off haha.

I have a HJC CL12 (atleast thats what the back says) I could squeeze my glasses in some kind of slot but it feels weird. I guess its something i just have to get used to. I hope i dont break them.

if you dont wanna wear glasses...get goggles.....i had a set made for snowboarding that includes my prescription so i didnt have to wear glasses under goggles....then you just put on helmet slide over the goggles
but i have since gone to contacts for simplicity

Get contacts, they're not that much of a hassle once you get used to waking up and popping them in. Takes a second really. Plus, you'll score more chicks at the club without those nerdy black framed glasses...
