    It depends a bit on your needs.
    IMO the best, in terms of overall performance, is the "double-bubble" or "racing" type. Unless you are freakishly tall, they tend to give very good wind protection without compromising aerodynamics.
    The downside is that, IMO they look absolutely horrible. No bike looks good with those things on. In fact, I just ditched mine in favour of a standard type, even though I know it will be slightly less comfortable at higher speeds.

    Whichever type you choose, I would go for a clear. I know it's not as "fancy" but it just plain works better.

    As for brand; My first choice has always been MRA. They have a long history and is focused on windshields above everything else, unlike every other manufacturer for whom it is just one out of 500 random products.

    Screen choice is subjective. I have tried a few different types of screens and I recommend the Puig double bubble. Excellent optical clarity, good wind protection, nice balanced shape, not stupid tall or with an ugly lip on the top. Good quality with a nice finished edge.

    I love my powerbronze windscreen. Deflects the wind right I’ve run head and I don’t hate the look. The dark smoke screen still can be seen through easily, plus I believe the my are out of the UK!

    I use an MRA Vario that I bought from a member here. I swapped screens with another member here for a week or so for a test and decided to stick with the Vario.
