Not-so-flippy July 14, 2008 These were not what we expected. They had far more wind noise than normal flippy shields, and they shook when the wind hit them just right on the freeway. They also didn't actually flip up without almost breaking them (or my arm). Actually, I ordered 2 and only managed to get 1 to actually flip, but only when it was off the helmet.
We bought them for a 550-mile trip to a bike rally, and luckily, we found different ones there.
It is well worth your money and your time to spend a little more and find some at a local store.
Flip Shield June 19, 2008 Very clear, very clean. Light weight, but feels cheaply made. Will not stay in up position without help.

It works alright but its a little cheap and the wind makes it loud inside when riding with down
inferior product October 10, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.

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
