Default Windvest Windshields

Does anyone have any Info on Windvest windshilds? I just bought a 14" while I was in Laughlin this week, They are saying that this will take most of the noise away around my ears and the air will go over my head by 4", is this true?
They will be sending it to me next week, so if anyone thinks i wasted my money let me know for I can cancel the order.

I really don't like it, looking for a better one with less wind around my ears

Moto X,
Does the windvest cause buffeting around your helmet at all?

I bought a 16" and it takes most of the buffeting away from my head. But as far as noise around my ears?? Sometimes I wear ear plugs, sometimes not? If you think you want to go higher after you try it. Doug at windvest will do what they can to make you happy. I talked to Doug before I ordered, which was a big help. And when I recvd my ws there were small scratch by the chrome plug and he sent me a new one.
