So I have this yellow helmet w/ working clear & tinted visors. Not sure what I would do if I wanted another in a different color tho. (I was thinking it would be fun to have a white camo helmet for off-road snow rides)
I like how they turn around if want a break from them
the clear one doesn't get as much use
like car window tinting, from the inside looking out, the tinted one is not that dark
& with enough light you can see into it from the outside

If you know a brand of cycling goggles that can be worn over corrective glasses, please share a link on this thread. I thought i could also look for helmets with a visor that fits over my glasses, but i haven't found any around here. Any suggestion will be helpful. Thank you!

The safety glasses that can be worn over regular eyeglasses work pretty well. I usually wear contact lenses but when there are a lot of insects in the air, I often put on a pair of safety glasses to avoid them getting in my eyes.
I don't know if any other contact lens wearers have had this problem, but sometimes when I ride fast in the morning after putting in my contacts, my eyes run uncontrollably. I found that wearing the safety glasses keeps the wind off my eyes, and somehow that solves the teary eye problem.

. My normal RX frames are also Oakley's and I love them, so lenses replacements is usually all I do.
