I've used this product for years and it's probably one of the most important pieces of gear I ever had.

I agree, riding in the dark with a tinted shield really sucks.

That happened to me this past summer/early fall. Met the wife and kids at a party by my office @ 5:30pm. We were only suppose to stay till 7:00pm. We were there till 8:30pm. I only had my tinted shield and sun glass with me. Rode home with the shield up and glasses on! Totally sucked....

So much for setting a good example, Coach.

Or you can use the sock method. What i do is take a large sock (like an ice hockey player sock) and put the shield in that. Then i tuck the shield in the jacket around my waist. The shield never moves and doesn't get scratched. Total cost $5

My friends and I have been using the sock method for close to 20yrs. Take old sock, put a hole in the bottom and top, run an old shoe lace from one end to the other leaving enough slack so you can put it over your shoulder. Now ya got a shiels sack for almost nothing.

yes, i also use the sock method
i crashed on the turnpike because i was out longer than anticipated with a 5% shield. dumb on my part, but luckily i was able to learn from the experience without serious injury. i was approaching the tolls aiming for an ezpass lane when my front wheel fell into a deep pothole and didnt come back out. I probably wouldve noticed it better if i could see. i tried riding withmy visor up most of the trip but had to put it down for that part cuz i was getting alot of debris in my eyes. on all-day rides i usually wear my clear shield and a good pair of sunglasses that fit close to the face.

The sock idea is good, too... for $7 the Fieldsheer product seems well worth it.. I actually have a kneedraggers GC, and 2 front sprockets I need to get, so I will add it to that order when I get around to placing it... I am waiting to see if they do a 10% off sale soon...

You guys concern yourselves with quality riding & bike gear, then you have a sock slung around your neck under your jacket...some funny shit right there.
