Can u use ski goggles for mountain biking?

Ski/snow googles aren’t really warmer than mtb or mx goggles. They often have double lens to combat fogging which isn’t necessary for bike riding, but it won’t hurt. For typical xc riding they tend to be overkill. People use them as speed goes up and even more so when it’s muddy or dusty.
