I took a piece of that foam rubber "camper top tape" that you would use as a seal, cut skinny strips of it about 1/4 inch wide, put strips of it around my helmet where the shield didn't fit good. made a good seal around the shield when its closed. made a big improvement. a helmet skirt work also, if you can stand it.

I'd think running a helmet blower would help by keeping a positive pressure in the helmet and reducing the dirt blowing in. With that you could probably get a helmet skirt too and not suffer with all of the heat.

That place will add it on to any helmet (so they say on their site), and it seems like a reasonable price for their kits.
