Just got mine in today and I love it. The fit is great out the box and hands down is the coolest looking helmet I have ever owned.

I won't be able to test it out until the season starts again though.

Quick question, I intend to wear a beanie underneath, do you guys leave the vents plugged inside or is it a must to leave the vents open because it'll get way too hot?

If its cold leave them in. If its hot take them out.

Also if you have a hot head you probably dont need them.

I have done both. It really depends on the temp. And the type of beanie you got.

I wear a really thin skull cap or balaclava under my helmet because it fits correct and i cant get a real beanie under it.  I would say 90% of the days i ride midseason i have the vents closed.  If i am riding park all day then i almost always have them open just because really quick laps at key and breck get hot no matter what the temp is outside.  Any other cruisin around the mountain or riding pow i will leave them closed until late season.

So the helmet ventilates really well? Can you actually feel the wind going through when the vents are opened?
