Look for vented non-fogging goggles. They can get a little warm, but if you don't mind looking like a dork they are the best solution.

If you want to go super cheap and uncomfortable, $3.50 safety goggles from the hardware store are better than nothing, but they fog up, have rough edges and come in only one size.
I've been using mine for a couple winters now. So far it's the best solution. I have asthma that is really triggered by the cold. If I don't cover my face under like 35F, then I get wheezy. Neoprene masks don't really warm the air, and scaves and buffs get soaked and freeze to my face/beard if out too long. This thing works great and lets me breathe happy and keeps me warm even in a well ventilated helmet.
I did have to make a few mods to get it to work for me.
I added a few extra vent holes in the bottom with a leather punch since I live in a hilly area and with a bit of Athsma I needed to lessen the air restriction to allow me to exert myself
more on climbs without hyperventilating. Just two more holes about the same size as the existing ones did it. I also removed the adjustable restrictor on the front of the mask. This thing was made for more standing around or hiking then heavy breathing.
I also modified the top of the mask to avoid blowing hot air in my goggles. I made a lip that folds back in to the goggle out of duct tape around the inside of the nose piece to get a tighter seal and redirect air back down instead of upward, which reduced goggle fogging. It looks a lot more like a cpap or dust respirator mask on the inside with that lip. I've also got a huge beard which make the thing seal differently on my face (most likely). I thought about trying some sugru in the tip of the nose, but my current solution seems fine for now.
Last fix for my goggles to prevent fogging is to close off the vents on the bottom of the goggles with a touch of tape to stop my hot breath going in through the bottom as much. The part nearest my nose seemed to need it the most.
After my hacks, this is fog free, even when riding hard using oakley O-frame MX goggles. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HMD11O/
I think the balaclava version so much better I think for cycling than the wrap around, since you can typically put the mask on over your helmet straps on the balaclava version.
