Wind kills my vision!

I have an Outlaw hlaf helmet. I wear glasses, so I cannot use some wraparound Oakley type shades to help remedy the wind in eyes syndrome.

Does anyone have any experience with a face shield or these helmets? Does it help and where can I get one?

Wraparounds

I wear glasses, I have progressive, polarized, prescription wraparound Oakley sunglasses. They work great. I sometimes wear contacts with just wraparound sunglasses, they work ok, but I miss being able to see the instruments clearly.

I only like face shields in heavy or steady rain. Vision with polarized sunglasses is usually a little distorted behind a face shield too.

I bought a flip=up face shield for cold weather riding and it works great. It snaps on my helmet where the visor attaches and the visor attaches to the face shield.

I've been hit in the face w/ small rocks, bugs, bee stings in the mouth. Full helmet w/ full face shield, behind a windshield/fairing. I have Rx glasses, dark glasses too. A dark tinted and a clear face shield, I carry both on the bike in the bags.

Yeah, chopper riders are a different breed than tour bikers.
