Daverick Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I've asked this on the 501st reddit a while ago but i figured it'd be better to ask here since most of you are scout troopers, is it difficult to wear glasstes under the helmet? I know there are different types of helemts, I've read that SC is one of the smaller ones. For those of you who wear glasses what helmet do you use. I've also noticed when people ask about helmets they tend to put height (idk why) but I'm 6 ft. if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiling Fox Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 It's going to depend on your head size and how big the helmet is. I know a lot of folks who wear their glasses without any issues. Some with better vision remove them and deal with the blurry vision. I wear contacts but if I didn't I would get some ranger glasses or sports glasses with elastic versus the ear pieces. They fit tight to your head and you don't need to worry about needing a lot of extra room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Depends on helmet, I know a few members who have removed the arms and use elastic to hold the lens on to their heads. Another has his lens attached to the inside of the helmet. What every works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayelbe Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 As to your height question, not all helmets are the same size, and if you are on the short side, a bigger helmet will look like a bobblehead, and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubonos Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I have worn sunglasses under my bucket at many troops. That Louisiana Sun can be hot and bright and the tented lense doesn't always cut it.

Dart Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I wore glasses in my KS with no problems. I think it's only an issue if you really fill up the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indylead Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Another vote for Alt. It was one of the reasons I looked for one (that, plus I have a big head!). Somewhere on here was a thread or two discussing the sizes; someone had collected some numbers, if that helps. That was what I used to make the decision. One issue with glasses is the fogging - but there are other threads on that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEleven Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I wear glasses with my KS helmet and I have tried on an SC with no issue. I had to do a little work with padding and fan in my KS to make it comfortable cause the lens did press on glasses and give me a sore nose after 30-45 minutes at a few troops. It's fine now, although I wouldn't recommend KS helmets for other reasons. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdraider Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I can wear glasses in my Altmann's. Its a bit tight and i have to take them off to get the helmet on, but i've got a large head. SO take that what's it worth. I can ay this. Spike's are worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
