Goggles and a 1/2 or 3/4 helmet is the way to go (for around town riding).

 

The other drawback that I found with mine is, by design, the visor doesn't allow for front vent holes to allow the air pass. My head gets itchy on hot days.

 

Tim,
I recently bought a version of that scorpion x-100 for my wife and she loves it. No wind problems at all and that's with wearing her clear prescription glasses underneath. She could hear me talking without yelling, fits great and a winner. Very nice looking too.

I'll probably get one for myself after I try it on and if it fits ok. For a modestly priced helmet, it is a good one. I will be selling my harley half that I got with my bike when I do.
Before I do that though, I'm on a quest for a FF modular and am leaning towards a nolan.

 

I have this HD 98353-11VM and I really like it I wear sunglasses still to prevent dust. I use the shield mostly on the highway and it does the job

 

I have the Scorpion EXO100 and its a good lid... Its light and vents good on a hot day. The visor cuts down on the bright sun even more with sunglasses on, and the visor has no issues with the wind or in the line of sight.

As a contact lens wearer, its a perfect lid to minimize wind turbulence with my riding glasses.

 

I got the harley helmet with retractable sun shield (HJC IS-2) for long trips and I do wear glasses with it and it helps in the rain.

 

I have a GMax that's really similar and I like it a lot. I can't remember the model number, but you might want to look into it. It doesn't have a visor and comes with a clear visor, which I swapped out for the dark tinted one.

 

X2 on the hjc is2. It caught less wind with the visor down than with it hidden. Or the wind pushed the helmet onto my head with the visir down.

 

I too wear contacts. Are you using "riding glasses" with the foam around the edges too or are they regular sunglasses? My hope on buying into the scorpion change over was to do away with the foam on the glasses so when I'm where i want to go, i can just wear reg. sunglasses.

 

I have the same scorpion that is listed above and love it. I do also wear sunglasses with the visor but the visor is nice when the sun is really bright as you can cut the glare out real good. If you go with scorpion, but the next size up because they run small
