I have the Shoei Quest.  Amazed how much air it flows with just two intake vents. 

I have the G-Max 68S, and besides the Shoei being much quieter, it feels like it moves more air than the G-Max did.

Oddly the best flowing helmet I ever had was a Scorpion..  The Exo900 and the Transformer both flowed like mad...(but were a tad on the heavy side)

But not so much with the Exo1000, unfortunately.  Otherwise a very nice helmet.  Reasonable pricing.  And their support is top-notch.  Would never get a Transformer (modular) = not as safe, heavier, and louder.

SOP....some of those who live in the PNW are concerned with.   8)
My Shoei RF-1100 is the best ventilated helmet I have had so far...Since I line in the PNW (Redmond) I close the rear vents and don't experience much water entry when riding in the rain

I own both the Gmax 68S and an Arai Profile.  They both have better ventilation than the Scorpions (EXO 400 and EXO 1000) I've used in the past, but the Arai actually vents better than the Gmax even with all the huge crazy vents on the Gmax.  I got good deals on both.  I got the Gmax new on eBay for $79 shipped and the Arai new from Competition Accessories for $333 shipped in these designs.
