They make a helmet now that has a full face shield and an mx visor. The face shield fits perfectly under the visor when you don't need it, and I belive goggles fit under the face shield when its down.
Its the, Shoei Hornet DS. Dirtbike mag had a product test in the Aug. 08' issue. Looks like a pretty sweet helmet and would be perfect for dual sporting.

Great idea being able to close the shutter on the nosepiece AND being able to remove it to clean out the dirt. . . $494 to $522 including tax here in WA. Yeah. . . . too MAD it's a $400 helmet!

That is a damn nice helmet. I was just thinking how with it getting colder here, the wind on the face during the morning commute is...invigorating. When it gets to be a $450 problem, I will reconsider.

Yeah, but take the price of a good offroad helmet and a good full face and your there on the price of the Shoei.
I'll agree that $500 is a little steep for a lid, but if it would save you a trip to the doctor at least one time the $500 pays for its self.
