Maybe cut holes in the hood to let the water drain? I dunno. It would be good to hear some clever ideas.
I don't wear a helmet very often so have not run across the issue. However! I do wear hooded rain jackets at work and have to wear a hard hat. On a couple of my jackets I have cut the hood partially in half and made a tall collar out of it, that I can tuck up under the rear of my hard hat to keep the cold rain from running down my back.
