My wife has decided to try a bit of light, trail riding with me. She has to wear specs but finds he current full face road helmet, makes them dig in behind her ears and they get lifted up of her nose while riding.
Does anyone have any suggestions to help, she is looking to buy a new lid, and obviously wants to be comfortable, especially when I take her to Spain next year
You can get prescription lenses for googles, not cheap but comfortable. Failing that I can get my glasses comfortably in my Arai cross.... also not cheap!

^^^ Yep I use disposable contacts at about a quid a pair, they are even dual focus so you can see up close for fixing the bike/reading pub menu . . or tapas, in this case!
I wear specs under goggles, poundland, whichever suits.
They do a wire variety that dont press in the usual places.
I leave a couple of pairs in my kit bag.
Works for me.
Didn't know Poundland did goggles! ... my old Scott enduro goggles have plenty of room for specs.... haven't seen any for sale for years.
these are close : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-SCOTT-SPLIT-OTG-VENTED-MOTOCROSS-ENDURO-GOGGLES-BLACK-WHITE-/362126826411?hash=item545070dbab:g:oDwAAOSwHixZnaVp

Trevor ... I have specs, and use the Airoh full face helmet with a visor. Works perfect. Just make sure whatever glasses the boss wears have fairly straight arms, if they hook over the ears they will hurt no matter what you do. I also use my MX helmet (old Bell Moto 4) with OTG goggles. These are deep enough around the glasses to stop them being pushed into your nose. I use Scott ones, but they are hard to find and expensive. 100% do a range of OTG goggles. Not tried them, but reports seem good.
