Off-road helmets?

[Piglit]

I just thought that I would ask a couple of questions as I am needing to buy a second helmet.
I own a road bike helmet at the moment but the majority of my riding is on the gravel and there is alot of dust.
Would a motocross helmet with motocross goggles be better for keeping the dust out of my eyes? Or would it be better to go towards a motocross style helmet with a flip up/flip down visor be better for blocking dust?
And I am not really worried at all about getting alot of dust on the rest of my face, just eyes.

If your able to help, Thanks heaps! :2thumbsup

yes

I couldn't say if it would be worse or similar than a road one in a accident though...

I wouldn't recommend them for their high-speed aerodynamics either, but on a DR the front guard is going to be a problem before the helmet is

considered on of the adventure style helmets that look kinda like dirtbike ones? they might be dustproof, or at least accommodate goggles
