I run the hjc cl-x4 which is a few years old now but they have similar models now. I also wear voltage x theramax goggles with the nose piece which works well for me. It seals up around my helmet well and I haven't fogged up yet.
Here is my 2 cents that I usually tell who ever wants an open face. Dont limit yourself to one brand of helmet or goggles just based on looks. If you can get someplace and test things in person it makes a huge difference. B/c what works exactly for one person doesn't work at all for others. That combo above works for me but my buddy had the same thing and he now has a different helmet and goggles b/c they didn't seal around the helmet like mine did just from different size heads and shaped faces. Try a bunch of helmets with different goggles and look in a mirror or have a buddy look how it fills up the helmet and where they see skin. If you are ok with where it is or a balaclava will cover that area you should be good.

If you go open face, I recommend wearing Klim's balaclava with gore windstopper. this works excellent!

A "no-fog" mask works great with MX or open face helmets.

I wear an old HJC open face, and have tried lots of different goggles. When you are looking at the helmets get one that has a good way of holding in the breath deflector for the helmet. Mine has 3 patches of velcro, some of the new ones I tried on had snaps which seemed to work well also.
take a look at how I tape my goggles to get them to block the wind better. If you do a really good job it will block the wind completely off...then you gotta trim a little to let some air in or the goggles can fog up. But once you find that happy medium it works awesome
