 Very Dark If Tinted April 16, 2007

I bought the tinted version, and it is so dark that you shouldn't consider using it unless you can GUARANTEE that you won't be out riding at night. Even at dusk or on overcast days, it's a bit dark.
But it's cheap and fit the bill for what I wanted.
 Worse than Useless November 3, 2006

I wear a half helmet and I thought this shield would help me get through the winter months.
Every time I change lanes (over about 45mph) the thing flips open from the wind when I check my blind spot. Every time. One time it hyperextended when I turned my head back, leaving a gap between the shield and the visor.
Also, it doesn't do an adequate job of blocking the wind (again over about 45) to allow me to keep my eyes fully open. Having to wear goggles under it really defeats the purpose.
The thing is worse than useless, it is downright dangerous.
 Not disappointed May 6, 2007

I just recieved my flip up shield with my 40 series helmet from Jafrum- it took a few minutes to figure out how to fit properly on the helmet, but it feels secure. I bought the shield before reading the bad reviews and was a bit trepidous about how it would fare in windy conditions; so on my test ride today I took my other helmet along just in case. So far the shield works well and I haven't experienced any problems with flipping so far. (You have to make sure the piece at the top fits in the hole). As for wearing the shield at night there's a note on it that warns against night wear. You'd be well advised to get the clear option for that. It gets a little windy on the face at high speeds but that's the nature of the design and it's not intolerable. This is a well priced shield that once properly secured works fine for me. I was also pleased with Jafrum's service-I've ordered from them before and am always pleased with the speedy delivery even with standard shipping
inferior product October 10, 2007

Consider this a 10 dollars wasted. The material is flimsy cheap plastic; it doesn't hold shape, scratches easily and broke as soon as I accidentally hit it. Invest a bit more money and get a much better product.
