Any luck tucking your glasses into your helmet when you're not wearing them?

Almost pulled the trigger on a LAS Squalo but was glad this thread nudged me in the Kask direction. Saw a bunch of places w/K10s on sale, but haven't had the best luck w/one-size-fits helmets, so I took a chance with the entry K50. By no means does this feel entry-level. Much more refined fit on my head than my previous Pneumo (crashed) and the old Eclipse I took out of retirement and spray painted black to keep my head safe for 2 years while I've searched for the Pneumo replacement.
Long dead thread but why start a new one?
I tried a Vertigo on when I snuck out to the bike shop at lunch the other day. Holy crap it fits, feels really nice, and the retention system looks like it won't crack in 5 places after 18 months like my last two helmets since it is thick and hidden under padding. I've got my eye on a Mojito now. Supposedly all of the same features as the Vertigo. Great retention system, leatherette strap looks like it'll be less abrasive on my neck/chin--sold!
Anyone compared the others to the Vertigo? Same fit/retention? I think the leatherette strap starts at the Mojito.

I bought a Mojito this year. Amazing fit and the finishing details are nice, retention system very functional. Bit of interference with sunglass arms but then, mine are too long. Straps only tighten/adjust from one side. See next for now that can be a negative. Overall a very comfortable helmet.
However the Vertigo was a non-fit for me. Straps were too long and no way to adjust them to keep the buckle from ending up by my ear.
Over the years I've made contact with the ground (a few too many times) and am looking at the POC MIPS for off road. If that system is added to any road helmets I'll be checking them out.

I've started commuting without a helmet. Sorry Chase! Promise I won't end up on the hood of your cab :( I make believe I'm in the low countries with my winter hat and sunglass arms on the outside of the ear flaps.
I didn't try the Kask helmet on with sunglasses. Maybe I should do that before committing.
What they say doesn't mean anything as far as reality is concerned. I don't know where this helmet is really made and it could indeed be in Italy but I wouldn't take a bet considering the italian laws.
You really need to package the thing in italy to apply the made in italy sticker.

Tried on a Mojito. Feels good. No gel on the back of the retention system and the leatherette stuff doesn't go past the buckles but I can't tell the difference. My sunglasses do hit the back of the helmet if I put them on really far up the bridge of my nose but I don't think it'll be a problem.
White looks good. Think I'm gonna special order one at lunch. A store here has Sky version Vertigo helmets for $240 but I think black helmets are lame.

I hear that they suck with Oakley glasses. Seems odd since Sky is pretty much all Oakley.
I can't wear my jawbones with my Kask Vertigo at all. My Spy sunglasses are a little better, but not great. It's disappointing because I otherwise love the helmet, but almost never wear it.
Too Tall,
You get your Kask helmet and for queenie you can get one of these Kask Helmet. They had the whole line of Limited Edition Kask Stealth ski helmets at Harrods. For the queen with everything and only 949 GBP:

Two years now with my Kask Vertigo. Next best thing I've found to no helmet at all, for my long oval head anyway. The leather chin-strap is chunky, but doesn't chafe. Rear retention system allows fitting over a winter hat without rebuckling of straps. Silicon pads are not looking their best, but I hear that new ones can be had. Fortunately, I have not yet tested its impact-resistance.
