Default HD windshield or National Cycle deflector?

Hey there. I think I need to get some kind of wind deflection for longer rides (2-3hrs) so I don't feel like a parachute. My question is: is the HD one with no angle adjustment a good idea, or I should go with the NC deflector that has more adjustability? Any experience with either of these two?

Thank you!

I have the HD quick release windshield and have never had a need to adjust the angle. It has worked fine for me.

I have the HD Quick Release windshields. Both the short and tall ones. The short one I get a bit of buffeting with, the tall one I'm looking through the shield, but the buffeting goes over my head.

Default windshield

I have the F4 Customs windscreen with the recurve. Just right amount to put the air up an additional 2" and I can still see over.

I had the national cycle flyscreen, it definitely helped take the force off of the chest without buffeting. But it looked too small in proportion. I now have and really like their Mohawk shield. I am 5'11" and my head is in clean air. I do wear a full face helmet most of the time.

We put the Deflector Screen on my wife's Sporty. It works great and you can't beat the price.
