I used the fairing on the WHIRL ride Saturday. The temperature was about 32-34 degrees for most of the ride. It felt like I had a turbocharger. I expected a speed improvement, but not such a dramatic one for what I consider to be a rather ordinary, heavy recumbent. I added +2mph in my normal riding range of about 15 mph, and +5mph on the downhills, where the difference startled me.

The weather protection was superb. I could have ridden all day with the temperature in the 30's - no feet or hand problems. ...

The fairing seems quite tough at the standard thickness, and I really would not see a need to go for the heavier version.

The fairing is really a great design. I am very satisfied. Keep up your Web site. Having a picture of the fairing mounted on a Tailwind helped me a great deal. ....

Thanks,
