Well I hate to be the devils advocate, but you are wrong! Have you never owned anything with a Gortex liner? Boots have spots that water and snow sit it, but your feet stay dry....? Gloves get snow on them, then they get wet because your hand warmers melt the snow, but yet your hands stay dry......?
Must I go on?
But since I do not have one, I must ask. Is there a drain of some sort out the back of the helmet? I would say if it does, more than likely your neck is gonna get wet....?
I guess I could see some water getting in. I have rode with mine and had no issues even when I stuffed my head in the snow from an unplanned get off.
Anyway, there are alot of vents and it seemed to work well for me so far.

You Are Wrong
Why Would you buy a helmet, when you think it is going to drench you. Man i wish i had the money to buy things that i doubted.... Maybe i'd buy a ski-doo!
yes i have gortex sh*t! that still is not going to stop the water running through the helmet itself. i just sprayed it with nozzle from the sink water ran straight through it.i might as well be wearing a strainer on my head.

I agree with Darko
all I know is, I sure as hell hope not, because I just dropped $400 on one.
But, looking at those vents there does appear to be something similar to prefilter material behind it and the helmet does have a gortex liner that's "solid" ... it also has one that's got slots in it for summertime use I bet.
I can't immagine Klim would sell a helmet that clogs up with powder and freezes your brain considering how well their other stuff works ...
Hopefully I'll know for sure this weekend though
