I can't think of any cons. It allows you to adjust the airflow and back pressure. When it rains you can close it if needed. I wouldn't recommend a tall shield without a vent.
The vent is the one thing i miss since i got the Windbender shield. It diverts air on you when you want. Definitely a plus in warm weather.
Actually I'm amazed at how much the vent helps with back pressure.:yikes:
I didn't know if I would use the vent but I ordered it anyway - I'm glad I did and I use it often.
For me I just don't like the looks of the vents!I have the Clearview medium in light smoke no vent more than happy with it!
Go Vent or go home!!!!!
Without a vent there's a dead pocket of air between the windshield and the rider. It causes head buffeting too unless you have a really tall shield. The vent will break up the dead air and reduce buffeting.
