The more I look at the sport type shields the more I like them. I have put off getting a shield because of he buffeting problem with the Shadows. I have ridden a Aero with a Honda shield (big) and a VLX with a Mem Slim. I liked the smaller Slims over the large Honda. The big one felt like my helmet was suspended between 2 tight bungee cords. I like no shield better than either, however, I can see that over a long haul, getting the wind off my chest would be nice.
