That's great! I will take some measurements and get one where the top of the shield is directly on or just above eye level. What is the recommended guidance on that anyway?

I've always heard between the mouth and the bridge of the nose. I'm 6' 2" and the 14" I have is about level with my mouth. That height works good for me. I think Rifle has a guide on their site for selecting the right height. If not, check Cee Bailey's website. I know they have a chart.

I will. That just seems too low, but I guess it's all on the angle of the shield and the aerodynamics as the wind moves over our heads. If you are 6'2" and using a 14" shield, I may get away with a 12". I'll check out their site. Thanks!
