As a fellow blind rider. All I can say is thank you. 😄😀
Hello my blind brother 😂👓
Lol, well hello fellow blind riders! :)) Wanna start a blind rider social club? :)
@@theuniqid that'd be cool.
@@AntiParallali >>> You could create an association -- either real or virtual -- of _"blind"_ Lady bikers, and call them *_"The Helen Keller's"._*
{I will see myself to the door now...😉}
When i go to make new glasses, i bring my helmet with me. The frame that passes the test will be the one
That's a good idea!
I do that too.
I do this as well.
That is actually 1000 IQ, will do in my next visit to the store.
@@casg75 i thought this is standard for all with glasses :)
As a blind rider also, I find that a pin lock visor works great to reduce fogging. The trick is to leave the visor and vents closed and after the glasses warm with the inner screen you will have no issues in cold weather.
Girl, this is probably THE MOST relatable motorcycling video I've seen as a fellow blind af person LOL. Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips!
For the fogging glasses problem , Arai has a Pro Breath Mask, it replaces the stock rubber breath deflector, fit snug on your nose dividing the chamber in your helmet to a ‘upper eye compartment ’ and a ‘lower nose/mouth compartment ’. Since your breath is kept away from the eye compartment, there will be no condensation on glasses. I live in Canada and I ride with it and pin lock the whole winter with no problem.
New rider with glasses here and over 60 years as well. I just pop my visor off before my ride, spray shaving foam onto the inside part of visor let it sit while I do my glasses. Once that is done I buff out the inside of the visor and Presto, "Absolutely no fog up", Love it. Great video please keep them coming..
Try Shark helmets, they have padding suited to glasses. Me and my wife wear glasses and use Shark helmets with no problems. Plus they have a drop-down sunvisor 👍
This just popped up on my recommendation and I instantly liked because finally someone shares the struggle 😩
"Holding my breath while I'm riding" I felt that hahaha this and opening the visor just a bit works for me haha
...I normally have a camera pointed at my face so that when I am getting blue in the face I will take a breath...
Nice! I'm a fairly new rider, and I wear glasses, and I've been watching a LOT of motorcycle videos. You are the first person that I've come across that gives tips on how to ride with glasses. Fortunately I wear wireframe safety glasses, and they are small, and the rims are very thin, so they fit comfortably on my face when wearing a helmet. I will try out some of the tips that you gave with regards to fogging. That's the one thing that drives me completely crazy, the fogging!
I've actually pulled the trigger on getting contact lenses because I started riding.. It's really nice since you don't have to worry about this.
Wish I could wear contacts. Tried all brands. Contacts make my eyes irritated and had to use steroid drops for a month.
That was an answer I was looking for. Thanks
I wore contacts for years and I've gotten to the point where I just can't wear them anymore and I went back to glasses years ago.
I tried to wear contacts, as some of the comments suggest it, it works, but when you drive fast no matter how you closed all the vents in the helmet, its kinda dry my contacts and wprroed it might pushed all the way through my eyes, so I came back wearing glasses again. Just using anti fog wipes, works like a charm.
Absolute gold in terms of advice! And sensationally presented. I could listen to this young lady all day! Will definitely buy my next set of glasses with an ultra thin steel frame. Much appreciated... oh & regarding the fogging issue, yes, I too ride with my visor open at the 1st click. Works a treat! ✌️
Great tips! I’ve been riding for over 11 years but only been wearing glasses for around 5 years so adapting to riding with them was interesting. I don’t get along with contacts so having the right glasses and the right helmet is really important for me.
Thanks Lali. Take care and stay safe.
You hit all the key points on wearing glasses with your helmet. I too wear very thin frame glasses commuting to work every morning with the visor partially open.
Love it that flying eyes used your video to promote their product on Facebook. I love seeing my favorite youtube celeb making it big.! Way to go Lali!
Useful content! Carry on Lali ✌
Great tips! I was wondering about this problem
Excellent video Lali, have this problem its definitely the colder you get the worse it gets....
Thanks for the tips ! I dig your videos keep it up !!
Kudos on some great tips! Fellow blind rider here for 20 years- I have tried all the recos here but here's what works for me now 99.99% of the time- Respro Foggy Mask. I just need to be patient to make sure I put the helmet on correctly so there is a good seal under the eyes. Removing the chin skirt def helps here as well. All my helmets have it...except the modular one.
i didn't know i need this. Glad it appeared on my feed!
Just received my contacts and I'm stoked for this summer riding
Just don’t open the visor while riding haha the wind will dry out the contacts pretty quick and can get pretty bad
This is on the money. I wear ultra-light frames from Ovvo Optics normally cause I like light frames, and it works fantastic.
RE: Fog, fog is a struggle. I live in Canada, so cold weather riding is pretty much always. Your tips are really good, I would add one thing, pinlock is pretty useless for glasses wearers, I find my glasses are almost always going to fog way before my visor.
Thanks for the content! I ride with glasses too, just let the visor a little open and it works good, I usually prefer to ride with visor fully open but using a big windshield to minimize insect impact 😅
Great video Lali. Been riding with glasses for over a decade now. Where I am in north GA I don't have to worry much bout foggy lenses since it's cold here like 3 months outta the year but still rideable and little to no snow at times. So just leave my vents open. Fitment was my main issue till I switch to thin metal frames. Will try the anti fog stuff next fall/winter here.
Alt videoclip frumos, respect!
Great vid, and great info! I’ve found the helmet makes a big difference. My aria was designed for glasses, my shoei isn’t bad, but cheap helmets you gotta jam them in there and maybe break them. When I was young it was way harder especially with snowmobiling and dirt biking goggles, now they got prescription inserts and stuff.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the suggestions.. I know how it feels when they suddenly fog up and you're left looking for a spot to pull over quickly..
Yep, done that before 🙈
I wear glasses and bought my helmet early. What I've found is a problem similar to your glasses # 3. I've finally purchased a mechanic special 1983 goldwing. So once I finally start riding... I'm glad you've addressed issues like this.
Good informative video, thanks.
Very informative & helpful video
Thanks for the TIP! We'll be sharing it with our followers!
Yes I absolutely agree with you on the thinner frames with the helmet, I got a couple pairs of thinner framed glasses for that reason. Good video for us riders who wear glasses! 🤓💯👍
Great presentation, Lali, and terribly relevant to my rising situation. (Dig the helmet-hair, too.) I'm on my second-ever full-face helmet, an in both instances I made point to find one that was more spectacle-friendly, and it helps *lots*. Pretty much do all the stuff you mention, except treating my lenses with anything. *But*, one thing I do in seriously-cold weather is allow both glasses and helmet visor to acclimate to outdoor temperature before putting them on: even though my visor has a Pinlock shield on it, this actually helps keep initial fogging to a minimum. Of course, as I might've mentioned in the past, I'm silly enough to not only ride when it's silly-cold, but also silly-wet. (But not both at once…had one non-fun incident doing that, learned my lesson.)
Thanks for sharing! Helpful 👍
Great subject! I never had much luck with metal or metal/plastic combo frames. Metal temples and nose pieces tend to weaken and break after a while of jamming them into helmets. Sometimes cause damage to the cushions of your helmet too. I really enjoy using transitions lenses on my glasses! And don't forget, if you're traveling a good distance. Take a spare pair of glasses just in case.
1st time here Enjoyed the information. Thanks ,I will look for more content.
Very good video, glad someone did it, for our 4eyes riders, such as myself. 😆 been riding for 7 years and I make sure my glasses are compatible for my helmets.
I find a modular flip up helmet perfect for riding. Easier to remove/add glasses. I flip up if needed at low speed for increased air flow .
Your vlogs are very professional and useful.
Stay safe.
Great tip! Thank you
I just discovered your channel. I think it is amazing!! Good luck with the PhD!! 🤗🤗
Thank you for the ideas 😊
Great tips, thanks!
I have rode my motorcycle for several years and have had this problem. My helmet I also use for snowmobiling. I got a heat shield for snowmobiling and got a second power port and installed the on my motorcycle. It helps quite a bit and the other thing I do is just bearly crack the shield and they seem to work pretty good.
Lali, Thank You!!!!
good video, i didnt know i needed these tips untill you started breaking them down. I just delt with the misery. thanks for the tips.
great video!
Thank you for the cool & very informative tips 🙏 I usually open my visor just on the first click 😁. Ride safe mate ❤
Very helpful, thanks
I live in a tropical country and I am also a fellow blind rider. Idk how effective this method is in areas with colder climate, but it works for me even if I have to ride under a heavy rain.
Try to find glass frame with straight arms and straight tip rather than the bent/hook tip. It is easier to fit and also, it kinda solve the fogged up lenses problem because I can always adjust my glasses to be a little bit further away from my eyes (to get better airflow) since it doesn't need to actually sit on my nasal bone. The clamping force from the padding of my helmet is enough to keep the glasses right where I wanted to be, so it doesn't really matter if it kinda "floats away" if you get what I mean. I know it gets wiggly sometimes and it's not really that comfortable, but it isn't as dangerous as not being able to see the road because of the fogged up lenses.
Hi Lali, I wear Oakley glasses. I find the wrap around feels comfier than the ones that wrap around behind your ears. The Oakleys only wrap around your head. I also find it easier to keep your glasses on then put the helmet on after. I find it more difficult to put the helmet on then squeeze in the glasses. Although I wear a modular helmet so it’s easier to put on the helmet after the glasses and having the chin part of the helmet open. Then I close the chin part after I put the helmet on. You are right about the fogging. I try to keep the visor open just a crack to get air flow through. Also keep it open a crack when stopped. Great videos by the way. Keep them coming.
I always liked the sort of wrap around sunglasses too they seemed to fit better between the padding of helmet. Have fun and be safe.
Thanks for all the great tips! I also shop at Zenni Optical. They do have affordable eye glasses and a lots of frames. I currently have metal frame glasses and they work great. Safe riding!! 😄🏍
Wow thank you! Great information. I wear glasses as well so the fogging is an issue at times. Thanks for listing the glasses friendly helmets. Great video. I'm a new fan 😊
Glad it was helpful! And welcome! 😁
Keeping vents open will help if you are moving. Once you're stuck in traffic, they will mist. Best bet is finding a helmet with pinlock.
@@jeannoelsandrazie1874 true but a pinlock visor doesn't keep your glasses from fogging
Good tips, thanks 👍🏴
Great video
This is a super relevant albeit sadly neglected aspect of bike riding.
Respect for an intelligent and helpful subject.
Great video! I found thin metal Oakley frames at Costco that have no downward curve behind the ear. They sit in the glasses groove of my Shoei and kinda' levitate without touching my face at all. Perfection, no pressure points.
New subscriber.
This is the first video I watched . I found you through “doodle on a motorcycle “ .
I have to tell you the quality of your video is fantastic. The production and editing are very professional. Well done 👍
I don’t even wear glasses but enjoyed all your tips and insight.
Welcome aboard!
Good video, I've been riding 40+ years but only about 10 with glasses. I have small metal frames and keeping the vents open usually works for me. Taking the chain thing off will annoy you with too much air across your eyes.
What you said is actually what i also do, except the glasses i use is flexible so it can easily fit on my helmet. It doesn't snow here but it does fog during rains when you're on stop or not moving, so i always slightly open the lid when on stop light but closes it while moving since there's enough airflow.
Thank you for making this. Really😍😍
Glad you found it useful!
Mooi video met lali
Love the glasses!!!
Hi Lali, As always, some great advice with plenty of ideas to try, but misting up, will always be a problem until someone can invent a gravitational lens!
I don’t even wear glasses but I loved this video and feel like I really learned something. Thanks.
With my airflite I've found that I can open my visor slightly but still be mostly protected from the cold weather. It helps to crack it open at stoplights. Also I've found breathing through your nose instead of your mouth helps a lot as well. No taking deep breaths at stop lights during the winter haha
When I rode when I was younger, early 20's no glasses. Started riding again last year and now with glasses. Thank you for the tips.
Thanks Lali...got a new frame on your recommendation :)
Thanks a pile Lali!
Super useful!
I know exactly what you are talking about, really annoying and potentially dangerous situation 😬 But visor and vents combination saves the day 👍🏼
You are the hero I’ve been asking for but only got a few months later
A great video. Sadly, I also do not have a general solution to this. The fogging problem keeps me from using quite a lot of balaclavas which would be really warm. But when placed properly, I can see zero due to my glasses fogging. One solution I can see: at least for sunny days having an optical drop-down (sun) visor. Or maybe some kind of device to be stuck in the helmet (maybe that exists already)? But if it is sunny, again you don't need to worry about fogging...Otherwise, I just lift my visor a tad. I also love my modular helmet. Makes life with glasses much easier.
Excellent points.
Thanks for the tips! It may also be a good tip for shatter proof lenses. I was riding on a hot day with my visor open and had a rock go through my lens and and shatter glass into my eye socket. I managed to ride to the hospital with an eye full of glass! All good now.
Great video! As a fellow new blind rider I’ve tried most the tips you gave us but it seems that contacts are the best solution tbh or if you got the money just do lasik surgery which I might hopefully do it in the near future
Thank you very much Lali.
100% helpful video.
🥸😎🤓
😍🤓
Thanx... helps a lot...
I've worn glasses my whole life, and in 30 years of riding I've never really thought much about how I ride with glasses on. I've just always managed to make it work because I had to! 😁
Me too.
I choose the smallest frames I can get away with. Now that I wear progressive lenses and have to where larger frames. Modular helmets are easier than full face.
same here. I don't even use my visor because they are scratched up. Even in rain, Id just use my finger to wipe it every time it gets to difficult to see, and I would lower my visor about 25% and tilt my head down so the rain doesnt get to my glasses too easily. Also where im at many of the street lamps don't get fixed, but I just thought I had to, and never really thought about it. It was years later that I start to realise the conditions I was riding was probably truly unacceptable for other people, but it taught me a lot of ways on how to ride much safer too, also it makes me wonder why I didn't bother trying to make my life easier.
Great info.
I have very thin titanium glasses frames. Long ago I found the modular helmets to be best for me. When it is very hot and humid and I get stuck in slower moving traffic I can flip it up for full airflow. Traffic around here is usually pretty mild. The only variation to this is during Sturgis rally. I live (normally) 30 minutes from Sturgis. During Rally expect to take an hour to get there. Until I got my current helmet, a Schuberth C4, I had no idea what a pinlock visor was. Now? I am not sure I could live without it.
I’ve just got some muc off anti mist spray for your visor . Works perfect on glasses ! No misting when stationary 💪🏻
Good stuff .. thank you
Thank you! When the road is bumpy my glasses rattle which can distort my vision. It makes off roading more challenging, as well. Something else to think about for fellow glasses wearers.
Really really good tips, I'd also say stay away from frameless glasses for riding, as I've found the part where the temples attach to the lens gets bent all to heck. Then you have to try to bend them back after riding. Also stay away from glasses with super flexible temples, as they bend while you try to push them between your face and helmet. They're impossible to get to sit right.
This 8s good to know since I recently started wearing glasses and it can be challenging to fit them comfortably inside the helmet!
Good video. I'm thinking of checking out flexon frames at my local eye Mart. I'll check out your channel more.
I bought special glasses that fold every which way for ease of putting them on under the lid. luckily I have a very good lid that doesn't fog my glasses up (although I try to avoid riding in extreme cold)
Good point on the side frame size. This was a big consideration for me with glasses and full size headphones even before I started riding: the ends behind my ears have to be as thin and flat as possible. The types with the sort of triangular shape in toward the skull were an absolute misery. I also do prefer wire frames for the lower weight and smaller profile.
Another consideration that I made was finally switching to transition lenses. I used to have separate sunglasses, but that got annoying having to carry with me. When I finally had to switch to progressive lenses (getting old, and I was starting to struggle reading my GPS at certain distances). Having 2 separate glasses with progressives would be insane, so I just went for the transitions as well. It's been a godsend. No fussing with a tinted visor or anything either.
do transition lenses work behind a visor? (isn't visor UV-blocking)
Having a modular helmet helps too. If you’re riding in town or in stop and go traffic you can open it up and when you hit the highway close it. I also have an open face helmet with a clear face shield that I wear sometimes, not as much protection with this helmet but on the plus side there are zero fogging issues, also I don’t even have to fiddle with my glasses when I’m putting it on or taking it off.
Fellow (partially) blind rider here. I didn't read through all the comments so don't know if these additional tips were mentioned but I felt these will help the situation. I've been riding with glasses for over 15 years now. For most of that time I've been using something that totally prevents my glasses from fogging up. I ride all year, sometimes in temps well below zero F (upper Midwest here). And I do this with no fogging of the specs! A co-worker told me of this idea and I adopted it for every time I ride when the temps are below 45 F when my glasses are prone to fogging up. I made a snorkel. It's simply a small diameter vinyl tubing elbow with a short length of clear tube that extends JUST to the bottom edge of my full face helmet on one side. I hold the end of the elbow in the side of my mouth like a classic old time movie gangster holds a cigar. I exhale out the snorkel to keep things clear behind the visor and inhale through my nose to keep fresh air coming in. Never had even a hint of fogging since doing this. Another tip about choosing glasses, to go along with all the excellent advise given in the video, is to choose glasses with relatively straight side bows. This makes it very easy to slide the glasses on in the helmet. I've had some glasses with more of a hook behind the ear and those can be impossible to slip into a helmet.

This actually seems like it’ll be super helpful
Quality content + quality editing + rider = subscribe and thumbs up!
My glasses are everything wrong. Chunky, thick and wide frame. Glad there's an eye appointment soon so with this video, I'll know what to look for. Contact lenses have flaked off on me while riding so it's not an option.
BTW...I love your "Applying For" videos....you are a big screent talent!!! Thank you for giving me/us great content!!
Thank you lol, forward them to any movie directors you know 😂❤️
@@AntiParallali will do...
Love the helmet hair.
Shark helmets come with a glasses groove, or a flip front works too. Also the size of the aperture has an effect on how easy it is to fit/remove your glasses, touring helmets compared to a sports helmet are usually easier to do.
You can try washing up liquid, polished until dry, does work for a couple of hours.
For those of us maturer riders, if you now need varifocal glasses, measure the distance from your clocks to your eyes, (when seated normally) rather than "reading" distance makes seeing them a lot easier.
Haha yeah that static got me 😂
I too ride with glasses.
I get the metal and wider side frame.
And YES to the face width definitely
Love this
I have found that different helmets work better than others for fitting glasses. My current Shoei X14 has worked the best. I had a Bell that was awful.
I noticed all of the glasses you showed were without nose pads. In my experience, nose pads help a lot if riding on the track or off-road. A lot of vibration would lead to my glasses sliding down my nose, making them useless.
You sound like a host for SciShow; clear, articulate, and not too slow nor fast.
