Hi all, can anyone recommend a pair of sunglasses that you can wear with this helmet that do not hit/obstruct the cradle at the back. I've tried a few so far and none of them fit, I think they would need to have arms that go down behind your ears like conventional glasses do.

Just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem?

Many thanks.

    I find just a thin flexible pair fit underneath ok. I had to buy some new ones as my old were quite rigid.

    Maybe you have the back clasp too tight as well?

    I just wear all of mine over the cradle/straps, works fine that way.

    That's what I've been doing, wearing them over the cradle but that makes my ears stick out a bit, and I'm sure that slows me down :lol:

    Someone mentioned Rudy Project but I can't work out which ones. Thanks for the replies though.

    I have same problem with Kask Vertigo.
    Wore it for first time last week and behind ears were sore at the end of ride due to glasses rubbing.
    Never expected this problem.

    I initially had this problem with a Vertigo but then realised the rear adjuster had alot more movement in it than I first thought. I've now pull it right down to give a better fit and the glasses now fit okay

    Think I might try to get hold of some salice 006's, I love the helmet, so much better than anything else I've tried but need to get the glasses sorted too

    I have the new k50 (50NTA or something), identical aprt from colours. I use Rudy Project Rydons and experience no probs at all. The arms can be flexed in any direction.

    Thanks again for all the replies, I've ordered some salice 006, the retailer has confirmed I can return if no good, I'll try the rydons then. Will report back!

    Salice 006 do not fit either, I'm now using Sunwise Montreal, they do hit the cradle but not too badly and I've put some silicone tubing over the end of the arms to grip. So far so good!
