I'm helmet shoppin'.

Trying to decide between the "perfect except the visor leaks" Bell RS-1 and the "little more comfy but reportedly louder" Bell Vortex. Vortex is cheaper but I'm happy to pay extra for a quiet helmet ... as long as it doesn't leak.

The review at Webbikeworld mentions:

The face shield on both the L and XL helmets does not seal completely against the eye port gasket. There's a slight gap across almost the entire top, so it does leak water. The gap doesn't change when the face shield is locked down.
Sooo ... does anyone have this helmet, and have experience with it in the rain? Does it leak?
