Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

New helmet with..

im looking for helmet that can hold my sun glasses in the vents or has some type of holder like on that LAS helmet. i hate sticking them in my jersey and its not comfortable clipped onto my collar or something. I have been looking for a new helmet for a while, tried on a few but they didnt fit well, especially the catlike..

I've never seen one that you couldn't but if it helps I currently use a Giro Atmos and my glasses fit just fine in the vents.

Uvex Boss Race works great with Oakley Jawbones.

Best fit is actually on the back of the helmet.

The bug screen makes for a top and semi wide opening for the earpieces to fit but it can be done.

Have you tried turning the glasses upside down? I have to do this with my helmet/glasses.

It is not uncommon, e.g. ...

Yep, turn them upside down. I wear a Bell Sweep plus Oakley Radars just like in the picture.
