The price was good and quality seemed to be fine. I was using it with a Street & Steel Brighton helmet. It didn't block as much wind as I had hoped, but the styling was cool. Unfortunately, I only got to use it for a couple weeks - I was cruising in town at about 45 mph when it flew off of my helmet as I did a head check to swap lanes. Whoops! Not sure if my snaps were defective, but I've gone back to using a full face helmet when it's cold out.
I've got a Bell Custom 500 helmet and wanted to add a face shield for those days that I ride where it's too warm for a full face helmet but not so warm that I want to wear just glasses. I've also splatted enough dragonflies with my face that I realize it's nice to have something in between me and the insects when flying down the road.
The fit and finish of the face shield were adequate. THere were no defects or blemishes in the plexiglas and vision is fantastic. If you do buy this or any other face shield you'll want to make sure that it's snapped down tight before changing lanes at freeway speeds. Even then there's no guarantee. Fortunately I carried a pair of sunglasses with me just in case something bad happened and it did. I looked over my shoulder while getting on a highway and the shield was blown off the helmet. I am not sure I'll buy another to replace it and will stick with the full-face helmet or the 3/4 with sunglasses.
A nice tight fit on my Fly Racing .38 and Bell Check-It Custom 500 3/4 helmets. Perfect for highway speeds no rattle or movement at all. Looks amazing with these helmets. Great optical clarity and you can do shoulder checks without worrying if the shield will go flying off or even moving at highway speeds. Very happy and I will be buying a clear one for daytime use, as the silver iridium shield is tinted too much for safe night riding. I love that you can see out but no one can see in with the mirrored finish, it also helps cut down glare quite a bit. All around a great visor, love it.
It's cute and more comfortable than a standard shield, but it is not legal for use in the US. This was not mentioned in the product description AT ALL, there was a warning sheet included inside the packaging that says it's for European use only and does not meet quality and safety standards for the US. It also states that it is not legal to use on public roadways and is only for use on private roads and racetracks.
Quality item but not really not sure of the fit for a Bell Custom 500SE. Really weird angle and too much gap on the lower side. The snaps are rock solid and shield is optically crystal clear. Already sent for my return label and will give the Bell deluxe bubble shield a try.

I love the size and thickness of the shield. The Shield feels sturdy enough but I won’t know for sure until I test it. The color is awesome, I love the yellow tint because it helps with seeing at night and even in the day it makes everything you see more defined. I’ve noticed however one of the grommets on the shield are very loose and the other semi loose. I’m just hoping it doesn’t fly off my face when I’m riding my motorcycle.
I use it with the Bell Custom 500. It works very well, even in the rain, which is surprising considering the gap between the top of the helmet and the visor. It was hard to snap the first time, but after that it lines up easily. The only issues I have is the center snap is starting to pull apart - being very careful when unsnapping it is a must. Classic look, and rain protection makes this a good buy.
I really like the shield and would have given this a 5☆ review but... on my first ride at about 55mph I turned my head slightly to check my mirror to merg with traffic, heard a pop and it was gone. I dont know if the snaps had malfunctioned or what. There was no high winds and I had been doing 70+ earlier in the ride turning my head with no issues. It fit snug and did not rattle. Not sure what I should do now. Cant exactly send it back for a replacement since the car behind me ran it over😕. Was not mixed brands either. Bell 500 helmet and a bell shield.
The design of the shield is great, neither too short nor too long and it covers perfectly the sides of the helmet not leaving a gap that looks weird like some cheap imitations tend to, the yellow is not as vivid as on other brands like Biltwell and therefore equally suitable for night riding without having to have a boring clear visor! my only personal complaint is that it's not branded (BELL) on the top as the Biltwell for example, which would render a really nice aesthetic premium product touch, hence my 4 star rating.
Great item and good service.
