Looking for Helmet suggestions

Ok, so I wear glasses, I'm looking for a helmet I can get on and off without having to adjust or take off and put back on my glasses. I want a full face if possible. Anybody have any experience with this and can give suggestions?

A modular, or full faced flip up, helmet would work, I think. Never had one myself, as there weren't any modular helmets around when I was riding my customized dinosaur to work...

Thanks Guys, I didn't know about modular helmets, I'm going to check some of them out. Inuyasha, I'm very hesitant on cutting my glasses, they're not cheap and I bought a warranty on them. Cutting them will void that and I don't keep my old glasses because usually my prescription changes each time.

Wink

I've considered a modular but the cost is a little prohibitive. Plus honestly I'm not sure about the latching in case of a crash.

I wear glasses as well (with the type of lenses that darken in bright light) and wear a full face helmet. I just take them off, put the helmet on and then the glasses back on.

That being said I'm just glad to hear your wearing a helmet.
