I'm not familiar with the ACA product, but I use something that I'm sure is similar. I've been wearing one of these for two years and highly recommend them:
Treadley Helmet Hats
When considering sun protection for the face, neck and head it is important that you do not compromise the protection of the helmet, assuming you wear one. That is why I did not choose Da Brim. In a crash, it seems to me anyway, that the stiff brim could cause neck injuries. This is my opinion anyway.
And, just like the sun sleeves being cooler than bare skin, these Treadly helmet hats really keep me cooler. Yes, they are vented.
A couple other points worth mentioning: 1. It prevents stinging insects from getting trapped in your helmet vents, and 2. I can still use my visor mounted helmet mirror.
