Have to agree here.  I've been using an Arai GP-4 full-face helmet for 
the past year.  It's impossible to put on or take off over my glasses 
and difficult to put the glasses on afterwards.  The fit is snug, but I 
don't think the padding would do anything to help with the glasses. 
 Maybe Dan could describe exactly what he did.
