Those vents are just in an area I wouldn't want rain soaked. It depends on your riding habits but it's super rare in this country not to get caught in some surprise rain. If you don't have the special pad to stop the holes with you then it's going to be an unpleasant journey.
I absolutely agree, the vents look quite irritating but then it looks to have a far superior visor than any of the other retro/ alternative style helmets...

In short I'd look at a more conventional design.
