LAZER CENTURY FLIP UP HELMET

COLOUR METALIC BLUE

Historical Note:  This was the very first motorcycle helmet review published on webBikeWorld (Spring of 2001).  webBikeWorld was started in 2000.

Riders who wear eyeglasses sometimes find it difficult to wear full-face helmets. 

Putting on a full-face helmet involves taking off your eyeglasses, putting on the helmet, and then trying to squeeze the eyeglass frames between the sides of the helmet and the rider's head, in the hopes that the eyeglass arms hook over the ears.  

I've never been able to do this -- I guess I have a weird shaped head or ears or something. 

I usually settle for leaving the eyeglass arms outside my ears, which can cause some pain after a while from the pressure of the helmet against the frame arms.

I was pretty much resigned to wearing open face helmets because of this problem.  But "flip-up" helmets have recently become popular with eyeglass wearers and others who like the convenience. 

It's not clear whether they offer better protection than open-face helmets, but it seems logical that they do, and a flip-up is about the only way that eyeglass wearers can get the look, style and protection of a full-face helmet with a minimal number of compromises
