He looks like a Fred between those things, his frame bag, and his mismatched 1990s era kit, but he doesn’t care. And his FTP, verified, is north of 350…so he can do what he wants.

Oh, the point of this, I tried them. They did absolutely nothing. I’m glad they’ve worked out for you and my buddy “Fred”. I’d love to have something to cut out the wind noise.
Sorry to hear that. From my experience, the straps need to be tight to the face - no air gap. Over 20 MPH they are useless. Maybe you just ride too fast?
