That pipeliner style with the flip front is the best grinding sheild out there,only thing i noticed is the clear lenses are not shatter proof some times so be carefull,put a good shatter proof lens in em.
You guys think you could have feildres2/travis on the show one day?
That would be a blast .
Keep up the good work and stay busy!!
