Depends on the size of the frames on your specs. If they are relatively small you should be able to wear an Oxygn or Z1 without a problem. How to tell? Try some on. A helmet with a fixed lens (like the standard Factory Diver) will work with glasses if you remove the lens, but that kinda defeats the purpose of a full face helmet imho.

I wear a Z-1; it's snug, but it works- MUCH better than over-the-glasses goggles- must've been four or more times those danged things have worked loose in freefall and I have had to stop the skydive to hang on to my expensive bifocals- definitely try several different helmet types on to check your own fit- good hunting!

I wear my glasses under my Z1 no problem.
I do take the glasses off before I put the helmet on & take it off.

Any luck with the fogging problem?
Broken tried on her Z1 with the glasses and the first time she was complaining about the helmet fogging. It was hilarous, the real problem was her glasses.

Same problem on the fogging front. I never thought of that.
Duh.
Mine doesn't fog up until I'm under canopy. I usually just flip up the visor. Nice breeze in the face anyway.
I might have to try putting some anti-fog stuff on my glasses & see if that helps.
