    Helmet with peak & visor, fishing sunnies - cheap under $ 20, lightly tinted, allows you to see the boulders to avoid crossing rivers, strangely shows up wet patches in corners as a green tinge to avoid, and only one pair to carry to go fishing as well

    Open face helmet as in fully open face rather than dual sport (or road) lid?

    I can dig the open face at the low altitudes & temps but thought it might be a bit dusty and a bit cold up in the hills......

    Remember that any damage to your gear may impair your ability to continue without some health/safety issues. Look at spares/replacement solutions ... half way up Everest is not a good place to find your visor is unusable and glasses are not a fix in the conditions you have.

    One of the many things Colebach and I agree on. Open face helmet for touring.

    Or a flip front.
