I wore a full faced helmet with goggles last winter on all of the cold or rainy days. I used mirrored goggles from Oakley. Don't have them right in front of me but they are the double-lens ones that do not fog up...ever. Expensive. My eyes felt GREAT as my commute was 17 miles directly into the sunrise going to work, and 17 miles into the sunset on the way home. Beautiful lenses.
Look like a clown??? I was riding a freakin' Pugsley. Somehow, it just looked and felt right. Full faced does give one a feeling of security somehow. Took a few days to get used to the more limited vision but eventually no prob. A little heavy but you get used to it.
