I really think the only option is the mask mounted specs, unfortunately. I carry the hard case, but it is a pain just before you go into the building to take them off with everything else to worry about. I agree, you have the mask off more than on, and you can still see inside with the mask on occasionally. i also worry about crushing the glasses (even with a hard case) or losing them. I know the Sharon Fire Dept uses the guy in town to mount their glasses on the masks, we are thinking of doing that in Amenia.
