Great helmet and setup you're putting together, but IMO you should ditch the Exoshield. I've used both the Revision Exoshield and the Smith Optics Boogie Regulators and they both attract condensation like you wouldn't believe. I've used several different home made anti fog techniques as well as commercial/professional anti fog (C-Clear and Revision wipes), and nothing can keep the condensation from building for longer than an hour, hot or cold. I don't get any real fog build up, but you get "sweaty lens" which blurs your vision just as bad. The SO Boogies actually work better because they have some ventilation, but even still, this ventilation only works if you're always moving or you have quite the breeze going. I have the helmet ARC adapters and they are comfortable to a point, but because of the kind of foam used on both goggles, they can chaff the face and then you end up with an irritated goggle line around both of your eyes.

Rambling aside they just become a pain in the ass and you'll probably end up changing to ESS or SO OTWs like I did. Smith Optics OTWs are probably the best set of goggles you can buy. Lower profile than most ESS goggles and you have a built in turbo fan with two settings, and it is dead silent. Best part: one year warranty. Very easy and comfy to use with a helmet and they have almost as wide a field of view as the Exos or Boogies.
