Bought this helmet based on good reviews and for it being for slightly narrow heads. It replaces my dirt bike helmet and goggles for dual sport rides and is much quieter. Goggles do fit with this helmet and you can close the shield over them. With all the comments about how much air it flows, it is still comfortable to use in the winter with the vents closed. A few negatives are: at certain angles it whistles a little, it would be nice to have the first shield open setting be just cracked open a little vs. a couple inches open forcing air directly into your eyes, the visor is narrow, short, and non-adjustable so doesn't block too much sun, and it feels a little loose when riding. Per the head chart, I was a borderline L to XL and opted for the XL since all the helmets I had tried on at a local store I was an XL, but now that I've worn this one a little I wish I would have gone with a Large.

AGV AX-8 DS Helmet
I own a MX style helmet for riding my ATV, but unfortunately I have to wear glasses under my goggles, which I'm sure you can see the hassle in that. I have to put the helmet on, put on my glasses, then put on my goggles. I was wondering if the AGV AX-8 DS will solve my problems??? Will this helmet keep the dust out when I'm riding my ATV so I don't have to wear goggles anymore or will the dust build up on the inner part of the visor?
Unfortunately not, you will still need goggles to keep dust out. Even with the shield down, particles will still find its way into your eyes. I don't think any helmet will beat the protection goggles will give you.
