But for you I suggest looking into the giro as well as they will allow your glasses to be on without any issues. The one detail I really did not like when ordering the giro is it comes with a fairly tinted shield by default, so I had to additionally order a clearish one since I do a lot of morning commuting. Forgot to mention, you can flip over the shield to put it out of your way or remove it entirely if you feel like, the models sold without the shield do not have the mounting system to add one later either.
Perplexing perspective. The odd looks of the Air Attack are legend, and credited with triggering a rethink of road helmet design for that very reason. The Dux Helm looks exactly like most road helmets, and while generally thought to be handsome, the styling is unremarkable, despite the design acheivements.
Although it's hard for me to understand your perspective on styling, I get that you were just expressing your personal view, and that different folks have different strokes.
