    It doesn't make as big a difference as I thought it might. It ain't nothin', but it ain't that much.

    Y'all are nuts

    The vent just gives you options.

    I actually have a baggershield adjustable (no vent). Here we are, still in "winter", I put the shield high in the morning commute this week (30-50 degrees), and pull her down on the way home (60-80 degrees). I can't imagine having no air on the face/helmet in hot weather. Well, unless you don't ride in hot (90+) weather. JMO.

    Also, as a Texan, I reserve the right to call folks 'nuts' at my own discretion.

    Why have a single itty bitty vent through the shield when you can have 1-3 inch tall 100% adjustable vent across the entire base of the shield?

    I have shields with and without vents but I prefer the vent for air management. Crack it open and it helps air flow a bit higher over your head, open it all the way and feel the air on your chest.

    But if I was going to get an opaque shield, I don't think I would get a vent. Wouldn't look as "cool". JMHO

    Do many go w/the shorter opaque shield, I like the look but would probably want a smoked one for backup, say night riding.

    I would have melted last summer riding across Death Valley without that vent!

    That is because sugar melts in the hot sun.
