Puig Racing Windscreen or Double Bubble by Zero Gravity?

Does anyone know if the Double Bubble windscreen by Zero Gravity provides more wind protection than the Puig Racing Windscreen?

I'm trying to decide which one to order.

PUIG FTW! have you looked at the Wiki article on installing them? That might help with your decision a bit

I went with Puig cause it seemed like it provided better protection from what I read. Basically the stock windscreen directed the air straight into my chest. With the puig it goes to the mid-to-lower portion of my helmet.

I personally own the ZG and can attest to the quality and wind protection. Hits me about the middle of the helmet and a slight tuck gets me right underneath it. That being said, from what I've read on this forum Puig has the same benefits and they practically look the same. So basically, buy the one you can get for the cheapest cash moneyyyy

That's about what I've read too. I'm preparing to pick one up and do the swap too. I went on the interstate yesterday (and I'm 6'2 with broad shoulders) and I was really uncomfortable with the buffeting from the stock windscreen at an indicated 70 mph. Good thing it wasn't rush hour!

I ordered the Puig only because it was cheaper.

I had a ZG DB prior to the Hotbodies DB. I think the Hotbodies is the same design as the Puig.

For wind protection, ZG FTW!
For looks, Puig FTW!

ZG offered me better wind protection--wind went more over the top of my head. I only switched because the Hotbodies looks better
