i ride with mine up all the time, dunno why, just more comfortable. i usually have sunglasses on anyway, so i'm not as worried about crap in my eyes.

and yeah, had one break off when i turned my head once, but i was only doing about 50mph.

Mine actually broke off last week. I have a gift certificate somewhere to a cycle shop. So till i find it...i'm riding with sunglasses and clear glasses till I find it.

Anywhooo

I was going bout 60 with my glasses on...shield up....and it slammed shut (scared the $hit out of me) and every time after that it would slam shut...then i turned my head once going 55 and bye bye face shield..( just bought it too)
