Helmets that hold sunglasses well
Hi Everyone first post
I need to replace my old helmet. Old helmet was a Specialized Propero II. I really like the helmet but I used it and it needs replacing/crashed. The one thing I didn't like was I could not stick my glasses in the vents and get any feeling of them being secure, glasses are Oakley Radarlock Pitch.
I do like and would buy the Giro Synthe if it was available. I asked and Interbike and was told maybe November. I will be riding again before that and need a helmet. The Synthe has specific holes for glasses, I like the design. Also it is supposed to not be as noisy or have as much wind noise as other helmets. I do like the Air Attack but I am not that kinda rider and probably never will be, might wanna be.
So basically looking for a helmet that will hold Oakley Radarlock Pitch glasses securely.
Thanks

My Catlike Whisper works for me. Really big holes make it easy to get the earpieces shoved in.

The new Smith Overtake road helmet is advertised as having sunglass docks. It's supposed to be out soon.

My glasses fit perfectly in my Garneau Exo-Nerve. (Upside down also btw...)

Cablez attached to your sunglasses do quite well. Just dangle em off.

I put my Giro Havik glasses in my Giro Aeon helmet. Also fitted well in my Giro Ionos too. Can't wait for the Synthe!

Actually, never noticed it to be an issue with any helmet I wear.

Kevin,
Maybe its a size thing and or what glasses are you using. I have tried attaching my glasses (Oakley radarlock pitch) to my helmet (Specialized Propero II) standard position and unpside down. They are either way to stretched out or very lose. Ah my helmet is a large also.
What size helmet do you use and what glasses are you using?
Thanks
Doug
