I second the wearing sunglasses when mtb’ing, on bright days your eyes can’t adjust when you go into shaded, tree lined trail and it’s hard to pick a line/distinguish rocks/roots/ruts.
Also given the the current discounts on bike stuff now would be a good time to pick up a cheap mtb lid.
For what it’s worth I use Kask Rex

Are you still trying to do the sunglasses outside the straps thing? That is a rule that only roadies abide by, so most MTB helmets won't work with it. Also, if you're riding in or around woods, then sunglasses can get annoying anyway so you might be better off just using safety squints.
I ride my road helmet for XC, but then I'm normally in lycra or not wearing any other pads. For Trail or Enduro when I have knee and elbow pads on, I'm much more happy in an MTB helmet. Is there not an MTB equivalent of your road lid?
