I've not tried that, but I can shine a light through and see it, so I think the vents are working. Looking at threads on the Internet, some people think it's great, some think it's terrible - I wonder if it's something to do with head shape or helmet size.

I guess I'm just going to have to live with it (it's the only helmet I found with an internal sun visor which fit my pointy head).

Thank, all.

Edit - I found this review, which contains two quotes:

When they’re open it’s like having your head blasted with cool compressed air, which is a blessed relief in hot weather

The GT-Air II is a great helmet that is let down by poor air flow from the chin vent in particular. On warm, dry rides, this isn’t a massive issue though you may be warmer than you want but you can easily crack the visor slightly to get some additional airflow.
It's weird how a helmet vary such a lot. It's not something you can try out before buying, either.
