The movement is prevented by the edges and openings on the temple. Your temples and the padding in the helmet in this area come into direct, close contact. When the thin, flattened temple slides in between them, the edges sink into the padding, and the padding fills the holes. This is how they connect to each other, stabilizing the glasses.
Not at all. Quite the opposite. It is imperceptible in the helmet because it does not reach the base of the ear where you are used to feeling your street glasses, even without a helmet. Therefore, you feel as if you are not wearing glasses at all.
The reason for this is the physical principle of surface pressure. If the same force acts on a smaller surface, the pressure measured on the unit surface will be greater, while if it is distributed over a larger surface, it will be smaller. Just think of a snowboarder stepping into soft snow - they immediately sink, but when standing on the board, they remain on the surface. In our case, the "tight" fit of the helmet exerts pressure on the glasses' temple. If this were a conventional temple, there would be a high surface pressure on the thin temple, but if it is a flattened MOTOEYE temple, the surface pressure is minimized.
To change the temple, you will need both of your hands. With one hand, hold the connector of the glasses between your index and thumb. With your middle or ring finger, support the frame from the outside at the "corner". With your other hand, grab the temple a little further from the connector and gently push it inward. This relieves the pin (snap). With the supporting hand, use your thumb (or nail) to press the pin and hold it down while pulling the temple with your gripping hand. You can find a video of this sequence of movements in the "VIDEOS" section. A few tips: 1. Don't pull until you have managed to push the pin in! 2. Press the center of the pin (the highest part)! 3. Keep it pressed down until you pull out the temple. 4. If it doesn't come out, DO NOT force it! Start the sequence again.
No. There has been no such case during years of testing. The surface of the temples is so smooth that it does not get caught in the textile fibers of the helmet lining, no matter what kind of textile it is.
Because for a pair of glasses to stay stable on a person's head, 3 supporting points are needed. In the case of normal glasses designed for street wear, these are the nose bridge and the two earpieces. Since the helmet temple does NOT reach the ear, two supporting points have disappeared. It is similar to a three-legged chair with two legs broken. That is why the temples can be replaced, and for wearing without a helmet, regular street temples can be used. If you are interested in why it still remains stable with a helmet, read the answer to the "What prevents the helmet from moving?" question.
From a diopter perspective, MOTOEYE eyeglass frames are the same as any other plastic "full" eyeglass frames. Your optician can prepare the type of lenses you have been used to wearing, but you can also request more specialized lenses taking into account motorcycling requirements.
The clip-on sunglasses have polarized lenses. As a result of the polarization of light, the stress of the plexiglass (or windshield) is outlined. This is true for all polarized sunglasses, just like reducing the shimmer (reflection) on the surface of the water. Nowadays, polarized lenses are a basic requirement, so MOTOEYE products are also made with them. However, since it is not always an advantage when riding a motorcycle, we plan to introduce a non-polarized Clip-On range as well.
The easiest way to do this is to measure the helmet's opening at the point where the glasses arms will touch the helmet padding, and/or the total width of your current eyeglass frame. Adjust the 'WIDTH' slider on the product list on the left to the desired size within a range of +-3mm. You can choose any of the results.
