I have one of the short windshields. It's below my head, and if I am crouched down, my eyes are on level with the top. I have found that it is incredibly helpful with the wind that is created by moving along the highway. It is also helpful at the wind from 18 wheelers passing me going in the opposite direction. However, windy days when the wind is coming at me from the sides, the windshield (obviously) does nothing because I'm being buffeted from the side.

One note - when I'm dealing with wind specifically from those large trucks that move the entire bike a foot to the right, the windshield only helps because I crouch down so that everything except my head is under the windshield :-)
