The high end full helmets are a little heavier due to sound insulation. Buy only new for safety and cooties. There are anti fog sprays.
1) motorcycle helmets are a LOT heavier than bike helmets
2) motorcycle helmets that are full face will fog up in a heartbeat with the breathing and sweating you'll do cycling
3) motorcycle helmets with vent systems work when you are moving at 50MPH, not 5MPH
4) motorcycle helmets aren't really designed to deal with cold weather anyhow, you'd want a snowmobile helmet (likely with all the same issues as above still)
5) it is bad juju to use a local shop as your showroom for Amazon purchases.

Problem with tight fitting sport glasses in the winter is they don't allow a lot of airflow and fog easily. I actually use pretty open, wire frame type sunglasses that allow a lot of airflow. Keeps the cold air from hitting my eyes directly, but allows enough airflow that they don't fog unless I am sitting still. Even still, dealing with a bit of teary eye in the cold is something that one has to do.
