Interesting, I honestly thought that was just me….and it turned me off from Polarized glasses as a result.
I just got new prescription riding sunglasses and I said no to polarizing… dammit…LOL.

I know it wasn't one of the two, but I say Freedom Shield as well.

Same here...I have one on my '14 Limited and the craftmanship and quality is top notch. I got the smoke tint and is great, absolutely no distortion, which is #1 requirement. My only issue is due to my own fault, by the height I chose visibility is great, but it puts more bugs right at eye level. I ride with a full face and polarized glasses and it pokes the bugs, magically where my glass bows go into my helmet and I get an amazing amount of bus that make it back to my ears...looking to get another at the height I should have chose and this time with the extra width at the bottom.

Me too. I had an LRS shield and it was fine, but the Freedom shield I'm using now is better. Made of heavier material and better weather protection from the touring version with extended sides.

Had others....but for me Freedom Shields are the best. High quality, great fit, polished edges, thicker materiel, best customer service, best exchange policy.....far superior IMHO.

Thanks for all the suggestions. But I will state that I am not a Klock Werks fan at all.......I've looked into the LRS, Memphis Shades, & Freedom Shields but I'll look into the Clearview as well........
