Gets rid of the problem about how to keep your goggles on your lid

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

True. I prefer to have an open faced helmet with large goggles though. Having said that, I did consider them.

I have used one of these https://www.wedze.co.uk/stream-550-s2-adult-ski-and-snowboard-helmet-black-id_8287091 for the last 2 seasons.
Pros:
Fits over my specs so I can see.
Warmer than 2 previous helmets ( Boeri, and Pro-Tec).
Easy to adjust, and simple clip.
Affordable price point.
Seems to be a quality product ( although you never know until you try it out, and the reason I have this is that I split 2 the previous ones I had on a rock and a rail respectively).
No goggles to lose / break.
Cons:
The foam bar along the lower edge of the visor inhibits airflow, and can cause your glasses to steam up if you are exerting yourself very hard (like trying to dig yourself and board out of waist deep snow after mis-calculating a landing in some trees).
The yellow lens is not great when its really bright ( But then if it is super sunny, I try and put prescription sunnies under it).
Its a pretty common here in France (Decathlon-Land) so when you stop for lunch make sure you put your own one on again afterwards - unless you prefer other peoples head-sweat to your own 
That being said, I will keep this one until my next big crash, and get another one with a visor - though probably one with better airflow.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I forget the make and model of mine (it stays in the apartment in France) but has photochromic visor so adapts to light changes.
So it claims.
I confess to putting lightweight sunnies on underneath when things are getting very bright, 'just in case', but I feel ti copes well.
Was about €120 in end of season sale last year.

I got one as a gift last Christmas (Sinner crystal) and didn't get round to using at first, however i ended up going away with the person who'd bought it for me so though so thought I ought to take it just to try. I used it for the week and it was great. Much easier to flip up when going into a restaurant or when talking to people. It wasn't as tight a seal on my face as goggles so no blocked nose feeling that I sometimes get with goggles, also better air flow meant no misting and no damp goggle foam from sitting on the front of a wet helmet when i put the visor down. When it was really bright I wore my sunnies underneath and had a spare pair of goggles with me in case the weather turned for the worse, I always carry a spare pair anyway having had issues with goggles misting between the two layers in the past. For me, for 90% of the skiing I do, I'm a convert and I don't give a monkeys whether strangers on a mountain think I look uncool or not, I just want my equipment to function well for me.
