My helmet mentions that the air that comes in the top vent exits out the back at the bottom. Looking inside the channels in the padding confirm this. I've discovered that this is the source of my wind-noise at speed. If I put my hand up and block the opening at the back of my neck the wind noise goes away, the cooling also goes away.
