This is always a hard question to answer.  Basically a lot of it has to do with how tightly your helmet fits, the size of your face and the design of the sunglasses themselves.  Sunglasses that will be used for full face helmets should have very straight temples and should be relatively square at the temples so that they fit between the padding of the helmet and your face easily.  Most motorcycle glasses have a very curve design which causes them to be wider at the temples.

Many of the manufacturers of motorcycle glasses that we carry have designs that work well for use with full face helmets.  Here’s a list of the ones that have been recommended by our customers.

• Road Hog Convertible, Black Frame, 3 Lenses From Bobster Eyewear (http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=147&rn=1022&action=show_detail ) - These are a very good value and versatile set of sunglasses.  With the multiple lenses you can wear these day and night

• Road Hog II Convertible, Black Frame, 4 Lenses From Bobster Eyewear (http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=136&rn=645&action=show_detail ) - These are an even better value since in addition to the smoked, amber and clear lenses you get a gradient lens to handle even more conditions

• Blackjack 2 Convertible, Black Frame, 3 Sets of Lenses from Bobster Eyewear (http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=136&rn=1023&action=show_detail ) - For sunglasses that have a little more of blade type look these would be a great choice.

• Gunner Photochromatic/Transitional from Bobster Eyewear ( http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=148&rn=1024&action=show_detail) - These are a great pair of transitional motorcycle glasses with the flat arms required for your full face helmet.

Hope this information helps.  Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
