Bell 500 in rain?

Anybody use a Bell 500 with a shield in the rain?
Does it work very well?
Im not talking about getting caught in a shower on a bar hop but multi day all day rain.
I have a 500 and like the helmet but usually take my Shoei FF on trips in case of rain but would like to stop carrying so much.
