I have seen shark helmets with grooves cut out of the lining for glasses, might be an idea to pop into hein gerick and have a look into it first hand

Just about any helmet will be fine. Just remember, helmet on glasses on --- glasses off helmet off. in that order. Get some good demister for your glasses or they will fog up in Winter.
Helmets with Pinlock visors are good for not fogging.
I am saving my pennies for Sharke Evoline 2.

I wear a shark helmet and wear glasses sometimes, but had to have a different pair, ones with a stronger arms as the ones I wear every day were to flimsey, but 90% of the time I wear contact lenses when I go out on the bike. Much easier

Should say, I know it sounds daft, but if and when you buy new lid make sure you try it on with your glasses, wether you can get them on easily when its on ect

Some great advice on here. I agree with Trafford re demister on specs as these can mist up regardless of whether you use a pinlock (the best) for your visor. I use a Shoei Raid 2 helmet and have no problems. My aim is to save up for a Shoei Multitec flip front.

Ive got one its quite nice BUT a normal fogcity mask will not fit due to the close fit from the rubber sealing strip

I went with fog city, just gave it a wash with some water and dish soap, has come back a treat.

It was a tight fit due to the rubber seal like lewy said, but it seems the thing just fits better over time, wasn't an issue after I left it a few days.

No fogging still 1 year on from originally buying it.

As for glasses I wear a flip up, makes life so much easier getting my specs on, don't even need to take then off or on to put on or remove the helmet.
