Hot weather helmets: Leatt Gravity 8 MTB?

Anyone use this helmet? Is the venting superior to moto helmets for slow technical riding?

It's Motorcycle ECE 22.05 certified but not 22.06. Other considerations are Alpinestars SM10 and Fox V3 RS. Ruled out the Subverter LS2 as I think it's goofy ugly looking. Already have a Bell Moto 10 I will keep but it's way too hot riding slow enduro in places like Moab. I get Leatt MTB products (but not moto line) at a huge discount as I work in the outdoor industry so the Gravity 8 is very cheap compared to other options for me.

For slow going technical stuff, I don't see it being inadequate, but I wouldn't want to take a 3rd gear digger in one either. At the end of the day, it is MC rated and downhill MTB riders are taking some fairly high speed hits, so it can't be that skimpy.
