So I tried an open face helmet and put my glasses on easily. Another lesson learned.

The solution is a modular helmet. You move the chin bar up to the open position and put the helmet on with or without your glasses on. If without then once you have the helmet on you put your glasses back on. You then pull the chin bar down until it locks making it a full face helmet. It's also great on a hot day to stop, open the helmet and get a drink of water. I have both the modular and a 3/4 helmet. Mid summer you have to use the 3/4 helmets here.

Both of mine are Vegas and both are on closeout sale at Jafrum.com. Sorry for the big pics but they're from the Jafrum site.
