I’ll come back and add photos

for blizzards into the face I use this combo, where the balaclava covers the neck. I remove the foam air filters in the goggles for ventilation





but for most of the fall and winter I used this helmet w clear and tinted shield which are held in place by three magnets



this was too warm one day I tried this combo



but on other days it was perfect



combined w a balaclava it makes a great cold weather combo and only fogged during a blizzard so I switched to my first combo above

clear lens good for night rides



or dismal rainy days



the other aspect of a large piece of plastic can be water drops but it’s mostly not a problem



i do cover the outside of my neck but I never cover my mouth or nose so I don’t know if these options would help your burning throat

i do sip water frequently and also carry a thermos of hot water with honey which is good for the throat but I drink it mostly for warmth and calories



companies are developing new products everyday and I found that within s single brand various models of face shield products may not be backward compatible - good luck
