To keep your glasses from fogging up if the vents in the helmet don't do an adequate job, leave the faceshield open a crack - like 1/8' - to get better airflow inside the helmet, just large enough not to let bugs in.
I had a large love bug get into my helmet once. It's pretty weird seeing/hearing/feeling something crawling around in your peripheral vision while you're trying to drive down the road. Instead of stopping, I was able to slow down, raise the shield and tip my head up and get him to blow out the top. Freaky!
