The cut outs aren't a good idea IMHO. You would appear to be blasting forehead with cold air which is not going to make your upper sinuses happy.

I would treat this like skiing. Fleece neck gator (not neoprene, those are awful) that you can pull up over your nose and mouth if you need a temporary breathing mask due to gusts, fleece headband over the forehead and ears with the top of the goggles over the very bottom of the headband and the strap crossing at the ear and around the upper part of the back of the skull (i.e. above the occipital process.) Substitute a fleece ski hat for the headband if you like, or carry one to pull on over the whole assembly, depending upon how much insulation you want.

This should be snug but comfortable. It works well for me skiing in worse conditions. And you can adjust it on the fly if you get too hot or too cold, etc
