Vent options, or venting a windshield and the reasons why you do it. So the idea behind the vent is to allow some airflow behind the windshield in the low-pressure zone to help control the head buffeting at high speeds and to give you a little bit bigger pocket of air to sit in. You can imagine, the air is trying to collapse back around the windshield and if you have a bigger surface area and you don't have any way to control the airflow behind the screen, you're going to get head buffeting with air clashing right behind your head and create a lot of buffeting.

The vent that we use is a five-position adjustable vent. So you have a few options to fully closed, or you can open it a little bit, or a little more, so you can kind of adjust and fine-tune where you want the airflow coming through. It does help out on some hotter days to get a little airflow on the chest if you want that option.

The other venting option we have, which isn't available on all levels of windshields we offer, but on a few of them, is the PRVs, which is a pressure relief vent. Essentially the same idea, just allowing a little bit of airflow behind the low-pressure zone, behind the windshield, just to help reduce head buffeting as much as possible at high speeds.
