Hi guys well once again thank you so much for tuning in to my little channel , in this episode i travel over to @jandsaccessories30 to try a few helmets for size , as you probably no my sun visor mechanism has broke twice now so the visor just flops up and down plus the new helmet needs to be able to accommodate my glasses as i've tried contact lenses but just don't get on with them .
as always feel free to contact me

I swear by Hood Jeans for the motorcycle. They are AAA rated. They do jeans for both men and women. They are cut to your leg length as part of the price. They last a veeeery long time - mine are over 6 years old. They are my daily wear (even in the office) and have done about 50,000 miles. The K7/AAA (S) Jean has D3O T5 X Hip and Knee armour as standard. They are comfortable in UK weather though, like all aramid (kevlar), the aramid lining can start to feel a bit hard over about 30°C (wear wicking leggings for hot days). They are really nice people to deal with. They are an English company.
As to helmets, I've had: Bell, AGV, Nolan, Schuberth and Shoei. By far and away the best is the Schuberth - really comfortable for all day riding and way, way quieter than any of the others. I can put it on and take it off while wearing my glasses. You can still get a new C3 Pro for sensible money.
Thanks for the advice. I will take a look they sound spot on 😊
Another Hood jeans wearer here, been buying them for numerous years after my first pair of riding jeans were an uncomfortable pair of Draggin Jeans. Hood jeans far more substantial and comfortable to wear.
Thanks, I've learnt something new. I wasn't aware of the helmets for people who were glasses.
Yes until i started looking i was unaware but the difference they make is amazing 😀
That’s a good price for Shoei or Shark helmets , bought a pair of men’s Oxford jeans because the other pairs I own are double skin with Kevlar weigh a ton uncomfortable boiling hot even in winter . The oxfords are thinner lighter the only thing is the knee armour pocket could do with being higher . I reckon all these bike jeans are just a gesture anyway , maybe save the odd cuts & bruises if the rider comes off at best . It’s still going to hurt if we come off ,it’s a risk we all take as bikers, I feel more alive riding a motorcycle than not riding one so for me it’s worth the risk . Hope you get sorted for a new lid soon 👍
Yes it's definitely a risk but the kevlar in the jeans is just coming apart on the smallest of slides which by the advertising literature it shouldn't.. anyway its definitely a no from me but great we can make our own choices 😀
@@bikesandbrushes I have yet to wear them they weren’t exactly cheap either. I tend to find Oxford stuff a bit hit & miss some like their soft luggage not bad ,but some of their other products total sh💩t . I reckon they are trying to diversify into too many products ,instead of them concentrating on improving what stuff they have had knocked up already . Hopefully I will find some better quality motorcycle jeans , I don’t begrudge paying more bunce for good quality ,if it’s worth it to me . 👍
Such a Great road tripping. Beautiful scenery all the way. Thank you so much for bringing us along. I really enjoyed it.
Aww thank you so much for commenting 😀
I’ve always had shoei/arai helmets but last summer I looked at the scorpion 1400 carbon and the quality /weight impressed me … and comfortable with glasses , flip down visor thing inside ( even a free dark visor/bag in the box and anti fog pin insert … so I bought one even though I had a new shoei … now I only wear the scorpion , very impressive helmet
Yes think that's the helmet Shaun has although no way I'm doing his and hers matching lids 🤣🤣 TBF Shaun loves his 😀
@@bikesandbrushes his and her matching helmets are fine so long as she doesn’t choose pink 😂
I’m also a glasses wearer. I ended up buying a different pair of glasses for riding as it was far too restricting looking for a lid to fit glasses. The glasses fit my Shoei GT Air perfectly. 😅
Yeah ibdid buy a pair of different glasses for my lid, that's an expensive way of going around the problem ... thanks for the advice 😀
I totally agree, a very expensive way of doing it. A suitable lid for me next time… 😂😂
Hi Faye, as well as Shark helmets you might want to check out HJC. Some of their lids are glasses compatible, I think.
Enjoy your channel, and Tins on Tour. Cheers, K.
Thanks Kevin yes we looked at HJC helmets but the 1 i liked was £600 which was way out of my budget 🤣🤣
Good to see you out on the bike, I use LS2 great helmets and perfect if you wear glasses
Thanks again for popping in the stream friday, Hopefully we can encourage more female riders into getting out on a bike
Cant beat some wind therapy
Awww was so nice to be on the live stream but got to admit was a touch nervous 😀😀
i have a LS2 helmet. most of the LS2 range are glasses wearer friendly.
Brilliant, thanks. I will have a look 😊
I always wear my helmet in the opticians when choosing frames. I also take all my glasses with me when buying a helmet. Comfort = Safety.
Yeah me to that's how i ended up with my Oakley glasses although my current helmet is broke so more bloody money 💰
I went to contacts this year for the longer spins, it's a game-changer.
@irishcoffeetruecrime yeah i tried disposable contacts last year but just didn't get on with them 🙃
Great day out, and never knew about the glasses helmets! I passed my test 3 weeks ago, pick up my new bike on saturday. Cant wait. I tried a rebel but I didnt like my leg sitting against the clutch housing. Super meteor 650 was a bit heavy, so I've settled on a kawasaki vulcan. Looking forward to watching your summer adventures!
Yes i was so close to getting the vulcan s but tried the Rebel with centre pegs and the 30kg weight saving sealed it for
me although would of been happy with either
Hi, as riderramblings has mentioned, another important aspect of buying a new lid is wind noise at speed. Good idea is to see if there are any reviews of the model you like. I have an Arai shaped head and have no problems with wind noise or glasses, but I do go for the strait arm ones for when riding. Good luck with it.
Thank you, I will shop around to make sure it ticks all the boxes thanks 😊
Everyday is a school day. I never knew helmets were different for those that wear glasses. makes sense when you see it. I changed to contact lenses because of the steaming up issue i got in the winter. I guess the Glasses thing is for full face only and wont affect those that wear flip helmets. I ask because my better half prefers the flip and she wears glasses but she has never mentioned issues with the helmet and her glasses.
Yes i tried disposable contacts but just never got on with them so now use specsavers anti mist wipes and glasses friendly helmet ... always a struggle
Flip is a lot easier for glasses I have a C3 and a Scorpion 1400 carbon FF
Try xlite helmets there actually a subsidary of Nolan. Iv got 2 and there the lightst most comfortable helmets iv ever had. Not cheap but you get what you pay for as ever 😁
It's mainly for the glasses fit so will have a look , Shaun just said he used to have a race rep xlite years ago that got stole at the nec bikeshow
Always worn specs with all my lids, just had to have slightly smaller frames. My arai and agv are fine, Just had to make sure that the arms were pretty robust lol. Didn't realise that they made lids for riders wearing glasses. Went to France and Spain back in 03 with a mate, me on my 1200 bandit and me mate on vfr750. Go, you'll love it 🤘
Haha yes I've been through a few different styles but really struggle with both my shoei helmets unless it's only a short ride ... really can't wait to get the ferry abroad its a real bucket list thing for me 😀
Downside with smaller frames is i always ended up looking over the tops of frame when i had my sv1000s, clip on bars so riding position was bit head down arse up lol. Its ok on more upright style like the zrx1200r i had. I enjoy your videos, keep it up
Hi Faye as a female rider, I have a few pairs of motorcycle trousers. MotoGirl Lara Cargo trousers are really comfortable on and off the bike but are only A rated, bullet jeans that I only use on trips to shops, Alpinestars jeans I don’t know the rating and some Alpinestars gortex trousers for winter. I put D30 Ghost amour which is level 2 in all my trousers. I don’t want to test how well any of them work 😊
Good to see you out on your bike. Do not worry at all about how you’re riding or cornering because if you keep riding, you will naturally get faster and corner quicker, and doing it at your own pace is key to that. As they say ride your own ride. Plus you can look back at how much you have already improved as it’s on RUclips 😅
I know what as you know I'm very new to all this so learning as i go , i do have Shaun helping but who'd of thought a brand like Oxford would be so poor , bet there is literally thousands of people especially new riders like me who rely on Oxford for safety
@@bikesandbrushes I had a few Oxford items but it was 25 years ago when there was little or no riding gear for women. Back then I don’t think things were very good at all. But as you say Oxford now should be a trusted brand, I know they are one of the cheaper brands (still no cheap) but they should have a duty of care to make their products meet a high level of protection. They may not be as soft, or fit as well, or look as nice as the expensive brands but the protection they provide should not be a compromise. So you are correct to call them out.
I think you are a fantastic rider already, you ride safely and you will only get better.
It's ok getting the helmet where your specs will fit, but what about breath blowback from the face cover? I have a hell of a job with it even wearing an open-face and a buff over my nose, mouth & neck....condensation always occurs on my glasses even though I use over-glasses goggles. Surely it's worse on a closed helmet? I'm thinking of maybe moving to disposable contacts instead.
Yes I've tried disposable contacts but just didn't get on with them , got some great stuff from specsavers to stop them steaming and seems to work much better than some of the bike brands it's just remembering to apply it 😆
@@bikesandbrushes Ah-ha! I didn't think of that. Maybe works like the soap on a bathroom mirror trick 👍
My old helmet was well past renewing bur struggling to find a modular to fit but eventually narrowed it to a SHARK Evo one they had in J&S but it was ex display and I wasnt prepared to pay 300 notes so left it until last Tuesday and got it a bit cheaper only to get it home and started to fit my Comms only to find a screw missing from the visor/chin guard mechanism.....so back over there today to have it fixed. As long as they are not ridiculously overpriced I would rather buy from a shop than online, 1. in case anything goes wrong...like it has and 2. if we keep buying online there will be no shops to try and look at gear. Are you planning any painting of you adventures on bikes and brushes, last few have been all bikes but no brushes, not complaining about seeing bikes but I also like the brushes content
Yes tbf we don't order clothing online as I'm small , Shaun is big so we really struggle for fit 🤣🤣
Nice to see the Rebel out. Great stuff. Took her to the Arbroath “Wee Smokey” bike meet last Sunday. People were admiring my heritage leather (Tom Hurley custom seat). Super comfortable with the medical gel/memory foam.
Nice to see a hint, of blue skies. Wish this rain would do one and *uck off.😊
Yes really going to start getting the miles in as desperate to get abroad on the Rebel 😀
Nice video, it was a great sunny day last Sunday. Spotted myself in the background on the car park😊. One of the people riding with me has a Rebel 500 too and had a screen fitted which looked good and did a good job keeping the wind off. It’s odd Shoei doesn’t cater for glasses.
It would have been lovely to say hello 👋 yeah I'm planning on going to Spain 🇪🇸 on my bike this year a screen would be grand 😊
Amazing, I was inspired to start my cycling chanel already got 360 subscribers in 1 week
Yeahh well done 👏
Lovin the colour of that lid Faye.. but as a glasses wearer like you're self you have to go for what's on offer really. How is Shaun getting on with his eye problem?.. take care sweet and stay safe x
Yeah, Frank, not a lot to choose from, no change in our Shauns eye sadley xx
Quite agree Faye, I wouldn't buy Oxford gear again. Too many issues and bad reports. Ride safe
Shocking isn't it from what is supposed to be a respected biker brand
Hood jeans 👍
Yes few have mentioned them so will have a look thanks 😊
It's Great to see some blue sky at long last.😍Colin
Yes it makes a pleasant change doesn't it 😊
When I see your happy smiling face it brightens my day. You exude happiness. Sounds like you have an exciting year. Please go on your bike stretch urself 😅
Thank you so much. The more I think about it the more I'm getting giddy about going to Spain on my own Bike 🏍 😊
@@fayetinsley1580get it done. One road at a time
As a spectacle wearer myself, I must say your glasses really suit you. Change your helmet, not your glasses! Ride safe.
Yes it's a pain getting the right helmet that also takes the glasses but I'll get there 😀
I've been to j&S today to order some new cheek pads for my lid
It's great as it's only a 30min ride for us , we usually get breakfast there before shopping 😀
@@bikesandbrushes bout the same distance for the J&S near me
I was there but in the MG Car red Hs I hopefully u have good Friday 👍
Awww thank you , was u there when we was there ?
that Shark helmet did look very nice.
It was by far the lightest helmet I've tried and really comfortable 😀
Some absolutely spectacular machines new sub btw great channel
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment 😀
@@bikesandbrushes Your welcome
Nicw one ! I use an LS2 ( 120 euros with dark glasses too at XLMOTO ) and I got glasses with straight arms so they slide in easy :) did you try the Triumph Tiger yet ?
Funny you should mention that as going to try an LS2 helmet at the weekend as heard they are all glasses friendly 😀
Hi 👋 nice chanel , I enjoy your videos quite a bit. Out of interest where was the J&S you were at in this video?
Awww thank you so much it was the J&S near Northwhich
Hi Faye
I somebody further down mentioned I didn't know that there were specific helmets that were made for people who wear glasses. I imagine that not all manufacturers do it. Does it limit what make you can get? I myself wear glasses and i do find that the helmets I get the glasses are a tight fit.
Yes absolutely my choice is Ltd although it seems to increase every year , the difference it makes is amazing and would squeeze my glasses into a conventional helmet again 😀
Your hands must be baking with the hot grips on that high. The hot grips are the only thing from I've had from Oxford that has ever been up to scratch, absolute shite the rest since they just started branding crap with their name. Won't touch any of it now.
Haha Yeah had me summer gloves on and was only 6-8 degrees so tend to start with hot then reduce as i go although taking them off and getting heated gloves this year
We love you Faye 🥰
Arrrr, that's so nice, thank you 😊
Well why don't you put your resignation in for your teachers job and take up your you tube channel full time and carry on with your RUclips videos you seem to be more happier
That would be great 👍 hahhah but a little thing called bills wouldn't get paid 😂 i dont get anything at theoment from the tube, to be fair, if I could do my job 3 days a week and tubing 3 days, I would be in paradise 😀
Initially would it not be cheaper to buy extra in helmet kits for the comms then Shaun wouldn't have to keep swapping them 🤔 hang on you wouldn't be able to change helmets then, forget it what a stupid idea, 😜🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣
Haha don't mention comms while Shauns about we've had more than our fair share of problems with them although hopefully we'll get sorted with a good set up this year 😀
