Will the visor catch a lot of wind at highway speeds? I commute an hour and don't want my neck aching.

No the whole helmet regulates the wind very well. Personally though I would go for a different helmet. It was a nice helmet, but not half as nice as my current icon alliance helmet. A little more expensive but defiantly worth it.

It will reduce your gas mileage it does create wind noise especially over 50mph. I use it for hauling camping gear locally. Enclosed cargo boxes are great when they're new but the locking mechanisms tend to go bad and you can lose everything in it if it pops open while on the interstate, I knew somebody that it happened to, that's why I went with the rack.

I have the half windshield... and I liked it because it directed the wind up over your head. Dust NO! You'll get your backside pretty dirty. I recently installed a roof on it and now the windshield directs the wind right in my face... along with any rain too. Don't get me wrong.. I like it but didn't expect to get a face full. It does pull a lot of dust up from the back. I even tried laying the tailgate down... no good there either. I feel like a trail hand after a long cattle drive when I get to my destination.

You're welcome and absolutely reduces the noise of wind rolling over the crossbars. I never heard the wind until I put the crossbars on my SUV, once I installed the fairing I couldn't hear the wind anymore.

We range from about 95 to -25. I keep it clipped to my visor all the time and haven't had a problem, but I can't speak for what it is intended to handle.

I have not done any highway riding in this helmet as of yet. I have done off road riding (atv's and side by sides) with no issues at all! Very nice and comfortable helmet!

The "bill" has a good sized opening for air flow so it is ok as far as "wind lift". But this is a budget helmet so it is a bit noisy at speed.

Do you wear a full face helmet? If so, this would be great; if not, there are probably better choices for wind protection.

Dear Sharon. Definitely!!! You will be able to use this visor with down position. Thank You

It tends to get windy here as long as you have it anchored down with all the doors and windows closed you should be fine. We had wind gusts over 40 mph with no issues.

I just bought this top and installed it this evening and top nearly flew off on the interstate at 50mph. I'd like an answer too.

I have not had any issues with it at highway speed. I normally travel 70 - 75 and have been well over that with no problems. Adjust the clamps every now and then and it should be fine.

Sun visor is ok for overhead sun, but not early morning/later afternoon. But the helmet is excellent.

In my experience (Turbo windshield on '81 Honda CM400C), this windshield deflects wind nicely off the hands but not off the legs or knees. The shape also allows wind on the face but takes a lot of wind pressure off the chest and generally seems to reduce but certainly not eliminate wind noise. Posture on the CM400 is comfortably seated and fairly upright, though. On bikes where the chest and face are placed lower, this design might block wind off the face more. I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned loving this windshield. It was an excellent investment.

I don't think the hat performs well in a stiff wind. The size of the brim is large (it's a sun shade hat more than anything), and that makes it catch the wind more than a normal hat. I find myself flipping the brim down when it blows up in the wind.

It's definitely better than not wearing glasses, but like most, some wind comes through the sides and hits the eyes. I use these on a motorcycle and don't really notice the wind until I am over 40mph. For bicycles I would say you should be fine, but I don't have contacts and don't know how sensitive they would be to the wind.

Yeah, u should definently be fine. I just noticed if u drive fast like over 70mph and hit bumps on the highway, it will slide a little bit but it's a great product.
