Girl, this is probably THE MOST relatable motorcycling video I've seen as a fellow blind af person LOL. Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips!

As a blind rider also, I find that a pin lock visor works great to reduce fogging. The trick is to leave the visor and vents closed and after the glasses warm with the inner screen you will have no issues in cold weather.

For the fogging glasses problem , Arai has a Pro Breath Mask, it replaces the stock rubber breath deflector, fit snug on your nose dividing the chamber in your helmet to a ‘upper eye compartment ’ and a ‘lower nose/mouth compartment ’. Since your breath is kept away from the eye compartment, there will be no condensation on glasses. I live in Canada and I ride with it and pin lock the whole winter with no problem.

This just popped up on my recommendation and I instantly liked because finally someone shares the struggle 😩

"Holding my breath while I'm riding" I felt that hahaha this and opening the visor just a bit works for me haha

I tried to wear contacts, as some of the comments suggest it, it works, but when you drive fast no matter how you closed all the vents in the helmet, its kinda dry my contacts and wprroed it might pushed all the way through my eyes, so I came back wearing glasses again. Just using anti fog wipes, works like a charm.

Try Shark helmets, they have padding suited to glasses. Me and my wife wear glasses and use Shark helmets with no problems. Plus they have a drop-down sunvisor 👍

LS2 helmets are good with glasses too. Both my current helmets are LS2's, they have a channel in the padding to suit glasses. The full face one does cause a bit of fogging but the 399 Valiant flip-up one doesn't unless I'm stopped in traffic but it's mightn't be good for motor Vlogging, the chin vent can make a whistling noise when closed.

Nice! I'm a fairly new rider, and I wear glasses, and I've been watching a LOT of motorcycle videos. You are the first person that I've come across that gives tips on how to ride with glasses. Fortunately I wear wireframe safety glasses, and they are small, and the rims are very thin, so they fit comfortably on my face when wearing a helmet. I will try out some of the tips that you gave with regards to fogging. That's the one thing that drives me completely crazy, the fogging!

same here. I don't even use my visor because they are scratched up. Even in rain, Id just use my finger to wipe it every time it gets to difficult to see, and I would lower my visor about 25% and tilt my head down so the rain doesnt get to my glasses too easily. Also where im at many of the street lamps don't get fixed, but I just thought I had to, and never really thought about it. It was years later that I start to realise the conditions I was riding was probably truly unacceptable for other people, but it taught me a lot of ways on how to ride much safer too, also it makes me wonder why I didn't bother trying to make my life easier.

Great vid, and great info! I’ve found the helmet makes a big difference. My aria was designed for glasses, my shoei isn’t bad, but cheap helmets you gotta jam them in there and maybe break them. When I was young it was way harder especially with snowmobiling and dirt biking goggles, now they got prescription inserts and stuff.

After many many years struggling with this problem I now simply wear an open face helmet = lots of air flow and endure the cold winter mornings - at least I can see where I’m going! 👍😎

Great info.

Love the glasses!!!

Excellent points.

I doubt you'll see this as I am late to watching this vid and in turn commenting. As a glasses wearing, 20 year+ riding, all year round rider in the UK, I thought I'd add my tuppence (two cents), as almost every day is cold in old blighty. First off totally concur with the glasses frames choice. I have gone one step further and have a set of super thin, flexible, metal memory frames on my bike glasses. The frames bend to match the pressure applied to them and spring back when you take them out of the helmet, so you cannot tell you have glasses on in the helmet. Also look out for helmets that have a channel in the foam for glasses, some helmets actually market this. With regards to fogging, first thing I always do to every helmet is remove the stupid bit of plastic they put at the bottom of the visor opening that ducts air towards your face, the nose bridge bit; in this vid you still have it fitted to yours. Removing that makes the biggest difference. It does mean that more of your breath gets to the visor itself, potentially fogging that up, but fitting a PinLock to the visor solves that. Lastly washing up liquid (I believe you Americans call it dish soap) applied and buffed into the lenses to reduce the surface tension of the water droplets in the condensation prevents almost all fogging of lenses. These steps allow me to ride fog free all through the winter here in Blighty.

This is on the money. I wear ultra-light frames from Ovvo Optics normally cause I like light frames, and it works fantastic. RE: Fog, fog is a struggle. I live in Canada, so cold weather riding is pretty much always. Your tips are really good, I would add one thing, pinlock is pretty useless for glasses wearers, I find my glasses are almost always going to fog way before my visor.

Great video Lali. Been riding with glasses for over a decade now. Where I am in north GA I don't have to worry much bout foggy lenses since it's cold here like 3 months outta the year but still rideable and little to no snow at times. So just leave my vents open. Fitment was my main issue till I switch to thin metal frames. Will try the anti fog stuff next fall/winter here.

You are the hero I’ve been asking for but only got a few months later

Hi Lali, As always, some great advice with plenty of ideas to try, but misting up, will always be a problem until someone can invent a gravitational lens!

Thanks for the content! I ride with glasses too, just let the visor a little open and it works good, I usually prefer to ride with visor fully open but using a big windshield to minimize insect impact 😅

Kudos on some great tips! Fellow blind rider here for 20 years- I have tried all the recos here but here's what works for me now 99.99% of the time- Respro Foggy Mask. I just need to be patient to make sure I put the helmet on correctly so there is a good seal under the eyes. Removing the chin skirt def helps here as well. All my helmets have it...except the modular one.

Great subject! I never had much luck with metal or metal/plastic combo frames. Metal temples and nose pieces tend to weaken and break after a while of jamming them into helmets. Sometimes cause damage to the cushions of your helmet too. I really enjoy using transitions lenses on my glasses! And don't forget, if you're traveling a good distance. Take a spare pair of glasses just in case.

Lali, Thank You!!!!

I always liked the sort of wrap around sunglasses too they seemed to fit better between the padding of helmet. Have fun and be safe.

Alt videoclip frumos, respect!

I find a modular flip up helmet perfect for riding. Easier to remove/add glasses. I flip up if needed at low speed for increased air flow . Your vlogs are very professional and useful. Stay safe.

I wear glasses and bought my helmet early. What I've found is a problem similar to your glasses # 3. I've finally purchased a mechanic special 1983 goldwing. So once I finally start riding... I'm glad you've addressed issues like this.

Thanks for all the great tips! I also shop at Zenni Optical. They do have affordable eye glasses and a lots of frames. I currently have metal frame glasses and they work great. Safe riding!! 😄🏍

I've found out that dish detergent produced best results on my safety glasses :D Spread it thinly on both lenses (about a small drop on each lens), leave it for about 10-15 min until a thin film forms, then just polish them with a glasses-cloth - don't wash it off! Keep polishing until the lens becomes completely clear. Prevents fogging in normal humidity conditions; in high moist environments small drops of water will form on the lens, mostly on the side - however still better than if the whole lens gets fogged up :)

I have very thin titanium glasses frames. Long ago I found the modular helmets to be best for me. When it is very hot and humid and I get stuck in slower moving traffic I can flip it up for full airflow. Traffic around here is usually pretty mild. The only variation to this is during Sturgis rally. I live (normally) 30 minutes from Sturgis. During Rally expect to take an hour to get there. Until I got my current helmet, a Schuberth C4, I had no idea what a pinlock visor was. Now? I am not sure I could live without it.

Great presentation, Lali, and terribly relevant to my rising situation. (Dig the helmet-hair, too.) I'm on my second-ever full-face helmet, an in both instances I made point to find one that was more spectacle-friendly, and it helps *lots*. Pretty much do all the stuff you mention, except treating my lenses with anything. *But*, one thing I do in seriously-cold weather is allow both glasses and helmet visor to acclimate to outdoor temperature before putting them on: even though my visor has a Pinlock shield on it, this actually helps keep initial fogging to a minimum. Of course, as I might've mentioned in the past, I'm silly enough to not only ride when it's silly-cold, but also silly-wet. (But not both at once…had one non-fun incident doing that, learned my lesson.)

Good video. I'm thinking of checking out flexon frames at my local eye Mart. I'll check out your channel more.

Great video! I found thin metal Oakley frames at Costco that have no downward curve behind the ear. They sit in the glasses groove of my Shoei and kinda' levitate without touching my face at all. Perfection, no pressure points.

For the fogging, I just keep my vents open and at stops, open the visor... if it's raining, just open enough that air gets in without letting in the rain.... also when riding in cold, rainy weather, I leave visor open on first click, so that there is a good flow of air passing through and no rain.

FWIW: I just found your channel after seeing you featured in a video by _Doodle On A Motorcycle._ My first motor vehicle was a motorcycle, but at the time I did not need glasses.. I would like to purchase a bike in the near future and I now wear glasses so it's an issue for me. Also subbed to your channel...👍

I know exactly what you are talking about, really annoying and potentially dangerous situation 😬 But visor and vents combination saves the day 👍🏼

You sound like a host for SciShow; clear, articulate, and not too slow nor fast.

Hi Lali, I wear Oakley glasses. I find the wrap around feels comfier than the ones that wrap around behind your ears. The Oakleys only wrap around your head. I also find it easier to keep your glasses on then put the helmet on after. I find it more difficult to put the helmet on then squeeze in the glasses. Although I wear a modular helmet so it’s easier to put on the helmet after the glasses and having the chin part of the helmet open. Then I close the chin part after I put the helmet on. You are right about the fogging. I try to keep the visor open just a crack to get air flow through. Also keep it open a crack when stopped. Great videos by the way. Keep them coming.
