I don't know how well it would work in heavy rain. I hope it's a long time before I find out, since I'm not a big fan of riding in those conditions.
I remember reading a study that found a cover over the helmet had a little more grip on the pavement in an accident causing more load/strain on the neck, especially for children. That was a few years ago when I taught some children to ride. Maybe more studies on newer fabrics have changed that.
