Have you considered a flip front helmet like the Nolan N103?
I used it for my trip down through Morocco, and to me as the absolute best of both worlds.
1. A proper full face helmet on the fast road sections, with no peak trying to tear my head off.
2. An internal flip down dark visor for use when the sun pops up - and quickly removed if you need to, no faffing with goggles.
3. A flip up chin piece which stays flipped due to the eccentric movement of the chin bar, so you have complete view in front / down, no chin bar blocking your view.
I could wear sunglasses under the helmet along with the flip down visor for the times it was extra bright, and it is far quieter than a MX style helmet on the motorway.
Worked for me, and is of course is full time use back in the UK, where perhaps a MX lid wouldn't be...
