Can anyone recommend a full face helmet > that will work? > > The only full-face helmet I know of that will go OVER glasses is the Porche Carrera helmet. This is because the chin bar is integrated into the windshield. The whole front of the helmet swivels up, and in fact, the whole front of the helmet can come off, thus converting the helmet to asn open-faced helmet as well. The only problems are: a) I don't know if it carries a Snell rating, b) it's very expensive (>$200) c) Very few places carry it so getting replacement part may be difficult (& also expensive). On another note, several eyewear manufacturers make eyeglass frames that have an extendable earpiece. It is a standard piece which has a sliding wrap-around that lets you put it on after your helmet and then get the added security of wrap-around ears. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Howard Moskovitz AT&T Info.
