Swimming against the current is tough. And no, I'm not talking about the philosophical state of being a deviant. I'm talking about a literal current. Riding down the road at speeds that you ought not to be going, along with a headwind, will tire anyone out in a hurry. You shouldn't have to pull at your handlebars just to stop yourself from folding over backwards.
Slipstreamer's Spitfire fairing is an economical way to get that booming wind off your chest. The hardware is anodized aluminum for a strong but light structure. If you decide to go riding without, the Spitfire comes off in a few seconds.
Designed to fit round or square headlights, the Spitfire secures at a number of angle and height configurations. The shield's dimensions are 15 inches high by 17.5 inches wide, and will secure to a wide variety of handle bar diameters. You can get the spitfire tinted, which won't interfere with your line of sight as your helmet will likely be above the shield.
The Spitfire is an excellent way to ease your ride and save your money. For around $75, or less if you shop around, you'll get the shield and all necessary hardware. This won't keep the wind off of your helmet, so you might want to spend a little more for a larger shield if you want to be completely out of the fray. This shield, however, is just enough to take the pressure off of your center of mass, and it looks pretty stylish for a windshield -- not too cop-like at all.
