Tom Booth Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Alright you spectacle wearing bastards, I've got to wear glasses in my old age, how do you go on with glasses when riding? Do they usually hang in there pretty well or will I be needing a shoe string around me neck?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff costello Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) my hipster frames stay in place pretty nicely. but it depends of course on how wild you get. if my glasses are to loose, i bend the end part of the earpiece a little tighter towards my ears (a little heating up can help) Edited September 20, 2016 by jeff costello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkerly Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 if you get some that fit you properly they should be no problem. mine are pretty thick and heavy so, they need to be pretty tight to the side of my head to stay put. this does make slight sores, so i tend to tweak them back out when im wearing them normally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Contact lenses and jam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Like Dave said get contacts, or prescription riding specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I have glasses, as you know. Fine, until you sweat. Once you sweat, they fall down your nose and generally get very annoying. I think as an easy solution I'm just gonna try a lanyard type attachment, but in the long run (ie next summer) I'm going to get some MTB glasses in prescription. I can't get on with contacts, so have to wear specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Contacts seem the thinking mans choice. Otherwise... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Depends on the type of glasses you go for. I always go for ones that have got decent adjustment on the little nose pieces, and decent stems (or whatever they're called). I get them fitted properly at the opticians, then generally just tweak them (carefully!) by hand to get the fit right so they stay in place. I did a month of MTBing in NZ in 30°C heat last year and didn't have a problem with them moving, and on my Arcade they're spot on too.

MadManMike Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah that's where mine fail. No adjustment, they're just plastic hipster frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Well it turns out specsavers got my prescription wrong, by a significant amount. I'm spectacle free! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
