Mid-Frame Heat Shields: Which One Works Best?
I have found several options for relieving the rider/passenger of the heat generated by the rear jug:
Kuryakyn AirMaster Reflective Smoke Saddle Shields
Captain Itch Crotch Cooler
HD Mid-Frame Air Deflector
National Cycle TC96 Heat Shield
All of the above-named options are priced in the $70 range, so which one offers the best relief?
Thanks, guys.

I would never knock someone else s product and I am not here to start a pissing contest but I can tell you some facts..
First off we travel and set up at quite a few rally's so all of this is first hand experience..
Kuryakyn is made from plastic,it gets brittle and can crack.To install you secure it with brackets and screws in to the frame and then through the plastic..I have removed plenty that have had missing belts,and or cracks where the bolts were over tightened and broke the shield..
HD AIR DEFLECTORS as I have never installed these we have removed plenty.They are a pain in the butt,with the bolts being very difficult to remove.They are also plastic.
I will tell you that our Crotch Coolers have a bigger foot print and work very well..They do not come with any mounting hardware because none is needed,no bolts,brackets,or zip ties..You lift your seat up and it holds our crotch cooler in place a very simple instillation in almost every case..
We have sold thousands of our Crotch Coolers over the years and have some very satisfied customers,we are here to help you with any questions or problems that you may have..We are a very small company making all of our products by hand here in Tennessee except for our ugly goggles that we sell..If we can help you out just give us a call..
