I used a 'Shoei' 'VFX R-2' with 'Progrip' goggles on our recent disasterous trip. Great lid, Light and very comfortable. The goggles were light sensitive, which saved having to change them for varying light conditions, again excellent. There's nothing wrong with the helmet or goggles, there just filthy from use on trails.
I've just bought an 'Arai' 'Tour X' and I think it's even better than the 'Shoei' It is, without doubt, the most comfy helmet I've ever had. The neat thing is you can use the visor or goggles, so for RTW or any trip with various terrain it would be ideal. My only critism is that it's heavier than most dirt bike lids, but as it's so comfortable you don't notice the weight when it's on. I'd always avoided Arai as I thought they were more of a fashion statement, especially, among the 'Race Rep' brigade, which I still think they are, but there also great helmets.
