    Bell 500 retro style for me. They have a groove for glasses.

    Another option is to use a "helmet liner" such as a Wick It. It keeps you cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Cycle gear has some nice ones also. Hot Leathers do also. You put your glasses on an then the liner. It covers the top half of the ears so when you put your helmet on your glasses stay put. I have been riding since the 70s and refused to wear them because they looked too Harley-ish or costume like, but now I wear one all the time.

    Where do you buy those? Inquiring older farts want to know!

    The Shoei line of helmets are very glasses friendly. Not cheap but excellent protection.

    Just Google something like "safety sunglasses bifocals". You'll find places.

    When I wear a helmet, I, too, use HJC 3/4. I'm old school and use a snap on face shield. I have clear, tinted and half face shieds for my two HJC helmets. I have found these helmets to be good and are a good value. Like previously mentioned, they do run small so I have learned to buy a size larger than I would normally purchase in a helmet. I wear perscription glasses so it is imperative that my helmets accomodate my wearing them any time I ride.
