Re: faceshield rippin off on interstate
i ride with mine up all the time, dunno why, just more comfortable. i usually have sunglasses on anyway, so i'm not as worried about crap in my eyes.
and yeah, had one break off when i turned my head once, but i was only doing about 50mph.

Re: faceshield rippin off on interstate
Mine actually broke off last week. I have a gift certificate somewhere to a cycle shop. So till i find it...i'm riding with sunglasses and clear glasses till I find it.
Anywhooo
I was going bout 60 with my glasses on...shield up....and it slammed shut (scared the $hit out of me) and every time after that it would slam shut...then i turned my head once going 55 and bye bye face shield..( just bought it too)

huh I never had that problem. I ride with it up quite a bit too though, really dumb for the most part but I like the wind.
