g3 and sunglasses

[tred 0]

i think it is time to finally drop the cash and get a G3. but I also have a very nice pair of sunglasses I rarely take off and was wondering if anyone has ever had any issues with wearing glasses underneath their full face helmet.
will the polarized glasses effect the vision like in a car with tinted windows? or will it have no effect if I keep the clear visor on

I do it all the time with polarized sunglasses without issue. I pop the visor open under canopy so they don't fog up.

polarized lens do not work well if you are reading a digital altimeter though.

I want to second this. If you are thinking about a digital altimeter you don't want to use polarized sunglasses.

Also make sure you aren't jumping with sunglasses made out of glass. Wouldn't want them to shatter with a small impact in your face.
Most glasses are made of polycarbonate, but there are some high end glasses made of real glass, not made for impacts.

Better be on the ground wishing you were up there than being up there wishing you were on the ground.
