Kask Mojito problems with Oakley Radar Path

I've been wearing a Mojito for a while now and finally decided to buy some sunglasses.

I opted for the Oakley Radar Path but I just couldn't get them to fit right, they seem to get caught on the adjuster at the back of the helmet. I've since read quite a few other comments online regarding others having the same issues.

Can anyone offer some advice, be it other style Oakleys or even other brands completely that's worth looking at?

Thanks.

    I have a Mojito. Part of the reason it feels so comfortable and secure is the large adjustment cradle which can easily be moved up and down to fit perfectly on the back of my head.

    The downside is that this reduces the space in which to fit long-armed sunglasses. Some people do suffer problems of this kind and have mentioned it previously on this forum. Others say they have no issues.

    I use Rudy Project Rydons. They have long arms like the Oakleys but are thinner. They do foul the adjustment cradle. I suspect the fat arms of the Oakleys are even more difficult to insert in the available space. The best solution for me has been to bend the Rydon arms down slightly so they fit round my head below the cradle. It works but is certainly more fiddly to fit my specs than with my previous helmets - Giro and Specialized.

    I also had issues with Radarlock/Mojito combination. You can zip-tie rear adjuster to hold it as high as you can put it,then it won't be as comfy as it can but you will be able to wear Radarlocks

    Sold my Mojito because of silly cradle. Wrecked the collar of a Rapha jacket because I put it low to avoid sunglasses.

    i tried a mojito having read that there were problems with oakleys already. when i received it i decided that it was too big a compromise for such a pricey helmet and got a laser genesis instead.
