I wouldn't get those . they get to be a pain in the ass with the cord plugged into your face . go mx style with a breath deflector (no fog ) brand is what I use , and a good pair of snowboarding goggles ( must be dual lens ) . if you want to get fancy get 1 pair of clear , and 1 pair of the polarized goggles . I like the blue polarized for daytime ( really makes it bright and you can see the shadows for the bumps better durring overcast days ) , and the clear is needed for nite time .

Moto-cross is the nicest 80% time for me but when its single digits and below I use a HJC CL12 helmet
My Firecats and M1000 have factory low windshield and tall seats so you get allot of wind compared to most sleds so When it get pretty cold I just put the full face HJC on.
I have a heat sheild for it when you get the wet/ice mix that sticks to your goggles or face shields.

I got an arctic cat moduler I paid 200 for has a breath reflector on it ice never had a problem with it but like rsss said with a heated shield it is nice with the freezing rain I think as long as you have a good mouth piece that fits you well you should be fine

i run a mx helmet year round.. dual lens smith goggles, and a mask, does just fine for 55 mph rips down the river.. i like the lightness of a mx helmet less strain on your neck on a long day

ran last year with out a heated shield and this year with. ill never ride without the heated shield again. like stated before when its freaking cold out and your running 80mph down the trail the heat on your face is nice.

if you plan to ditch dive and boondock all the time then maybe the mx setup would be better
