2 features completely except for two eye holes. They did keep the wind off my face quite satisfactorily, but for some reason or other they deflected my breath up inside my goggles fogging them up so I couldn't see. After a few unsuccessful attempts to adjust things to avoid this difficulty, I decided to fly without them. By huddling up behind the windshield I was able to shield my eyes from the wind enough to keep them from watering. This morning when I came down from flying, I was met by a reporter from the Kansas City Kansan who wanted to take some pictures, etc. I was more than obliging since said reporter was a female of not uninteresting appearance and proportion. She agreed to send me a few prints of the shots she took. I was in full winter flight gear so they may be of enough interest to warrant mailing them up to you folks.
