Rudy Project Snow Shield/Visor

Rudy Project Snow Shield/Visor

MSRP: $60

Yes, we think that shields look funny. But when the snow or rain is falling from the sky – they work much better than glasses. Glasses get fogged up too easily, and get covered with snow and ice. And if you must wear glasses the snow shield won’t interfere with them and will help keep the snow off of them.
