We are passionate about cycling and do it year round. We invented the Shield as a solution to a common problem in the cold weather months. THE BEST COLD WEATHER RIDING GEAR. The Shield: The Must-Have Cold Weather Riding Gadget. Tired of cold hands while cycling, we invented the Shield - a sleek, ultra light weight plastic shield that diverts the wind and rain away from your hands and fingertips. An easy to install accessory that serves as an added barrier against the wind chill, allowing cyclists to ride longer and more comfortably in the cooler months.
