I used an old street helmet when I started trail riding.  It was light, but the "unsolvable" problem was the visor.  Down, it just got too hot and foggy because you are working too hard and going too slow.  Up, it failed to give any protection, and you are taking branches across the bridge of the nose at the worst possible moments.  You could put the visor up and put on safety glasses, but then it falls down, again typically at the worst possible moment when you are perched precariously on the edge of some muddy ravine...

I use a cheap dirt helmet and the big safety glasses now... the ones designed to go over normal glasses.  You can get them cheap at Wal Mart, and a google search turned up this link:

They look like this:

I hate the real goggles.  The safety glasses works well for trail riding, but would not work for MX racing where the roost from the guy in front of you requires tear offs of some kind...
