Default Holy windvest batman

Finally received and bolted on my new windvest 13 all I can say is wow. I am 5'10 and 32 inseam and this is the most amazing shield I have ever owned, does a better job of eliminating the buffeting than my 8 inch shield on my old Streetglide. Thanks to the folks at windvest as the customer service was amazing. Now to be honest your not going to get rid of "all" the wind, after all you are riding a motorcycle, but this things works great and was a huge radio upgrade when doing highway speed the radio is clear as ever...thanks windvest...

They do work well. I'm 5'10" on a 2009 SERG with 10" PYO bars, and I'm happy with my 10" Windvest- amazingly I don't get hit in the face with bugs, and sometimes I can even see them follow the wind up and over me. Sometimes I think about picking up a 12" for long trips, but I do like some wind because, like you said, it is a bike after all.

I settled with a 12" Wind vest I am 6' 1" 32" inseam and slouch a little riding. I find its a good Height without looking to big. The flip makes a huge difference

Thanks for showing us the sizes next to each other. That gives me a better idea what they look like.
