SHOEI VFX- W Helmet

[REVERUP]

Time for a new lid.
Looking for some feedback on the new generation Shoei. I owned the previous generation Shoei and liked it alot.

I've been running Arai for the last few years and thinking about going back to the Shoei. The Arai has cost me a fortune in replacing the cheap plastic vent covers. They want $30 just for the 2 plastic vent covers. Its frickin highway robbery. I break em quite a bit on low hanging tree branches and brush. A couple times the brush got underneath and just popped it off so it was littered out on the trail somewhere.
Anyhow I don't want to turn this into a review of the Arai, but I expect more for my $

My number one and main question to those that own this new generation Shoei is.... Since there are no plastic vent covers over the vents on the top of the helmet, when it's a nasty wet day in slow technical single track where 10mph is a accomplishment, how much rain water comes in? Is it minimal, or is it like running in your eyes on those days goggles just aren't usable while racing or riding?

Is the new shape a problem including the larger goggle port?

Any info would be appreciated as I'm not seeing alot of them out there in the off road world yet, just moto.
