English term or phrase: traditional chine vent
Hi, I'm translating a catalogue description of a motorcycle helmet which has an ultra light weight fibre glass shell. It's the next part that I'm unsure about:

"Ventilation: Maximum chin bar ventilation to ensure minimum fogging and maximum intake is achieved with 2 large adjustable side vents and traditional chine vent"

I believe "protège menton" will work for "chin bar". But at the end of the description, what is "chine vent"? (And is this possibly a typo for "chin vent"?) Au secours, s.v.p.
