Thanks, these are useful pointers. It's not the straps per say, but that the helmet sits so low it pushes the glasses down onto my nose - and the arms don't fit nicely between the side protection.
But point taken about the glasses anyway. I'll try a few more and settle. There are definitely some good deals as @furious_tiles says

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?
