It’s a retro helmet I used in the 1980’s and was used by pro BMX racers with their Oakley.

When I was 16 the school bully decided to break my he visor on my Moto 4…. It was the last day of school in 1989. I didn’t end well for him. The teachers actually congratulate for finally putting him on his ass!

I would urge you to go about this in reverse order. Find a helmet that fits your head perfectly and then find a pair of glasses that fit comfortably in it. Nearly all helmet brands have a variety of models designed to fit different head shapes and it's important to find one that fits your specific head shape well. Revzilla has a good guide that explains helmet fit in better detail How to size and buy a motorcycle helmet - RevZilla. Even if someone is able to recommend a helmet that fits well with those glasses for them, it might not fit the same way for you.

Thank you. Yeah I went with helmet fitment first. I was hoping there would be some knowledge on brands that might have temple spacing for the stems more so than others. But I currently can wear my EVZERO Blades in the helmet I have pretty comfortably. I am continuing to research more high end helmets on Revzilla and Cycle World though.

Like that meme for football helmets said "Cant put a price on brain damage"

Good to hear! One other thing to keep in mind regarding "high end" helmets, is that most of that extra cost goes into expensive materials, lightness and additional ventilation. A $1000 helmet might not be any safer or more comfortable than a $200 helmet with the same safety certifications. It will likely be lighter weight (typically carbon fiber construction) and have more efficient airflow through it. Sometimes the expensive helmets even sacrifice things like sound deadening for the sake of being lighter and more aerodynamic. The race spec Arai Corsair helmets can actually be a pain to live with for daily use because they're so noisy! Good luck on the hunt!

Same, I tell all my pilot and motorcycle customers to bring helmets and headsets in and we can make sure we get a good fit.
