MX Helmet is the way to go for me, better venting, less Fogging, and way better peripheral vision!!!

I ended up having the same problem a few years ago with the modular style helmet. I bought the 509 helmet and sinister goggles and will Never go back. The helmet has a good breath/wind guard that wraps well around my nose and the goggles fit perfectly in the helmet. I do feel a little wind leakage when wide open across a lake but never so cold that I need to stop. I usually just wear a simple neoprene head sock and rarly need it any higher than my chin.
You do need to test it and have a system. When I first started I used a thick blancava that went over my nose. This allowed my breath to leak into my goggles and fog when really cold. I found with the smaller neoprene I stayed just as warm, no fogging, and way more comfortable.

Burnoutnic: I would freeze the tip of my nose if I did that!
HJC MX Helmet and Smith Warpstar Snow goggles up until this year I switched to the HJC/Castle branded goggles. Much more foam and fit the opening better.
I still wear a Serus Neoprene headsock on sub 25 degree days and thin headsock on anything warmer. The only time the goggles fog is when I start sweating with a wet head. That's not too often, so it's really not an issue.
Key is good fitting goggles for the opening of the helmet. Or you end up using duct tape to cover the places they miss. at -10f - -20f, there is always a chance of a little bite.

Last tip are Quick Straps! It's so nice being able to just quickly un-velcro one side to let goggles hang, and throw them across your face in an instant.
You can see the tab on "my" right side of the helmet in my avatar where I can pull the goggles off and on with gloves on.

I guess,here in the coastal Mountains the coldest I usually ride in is -10, on Average -4. The riding is pretty extreme and it dosent take long to work up a sweat.
I still usually rock a Belaclava, and a Triple Layered Bandanna around my neck, I dont like to feel wind resistance.
