Looks like they are about  $19 on Amazon Jay. If they are darker, I might get one as well.

 
Just placed an Amazon Prime order for 2 of them.

OK, I'll do that. I ordered the shields based on Gary's above report.

All good...second opinion.

Received the Basecamp "flash" shields Friday. Used one of them on my helmet when I rode at WRL this afternoon. The flash shield has a darker tint than the grey-tinted shield. It also has a reflective coating on the outside surface. When using the flash shield I don't have to squint when the sun is overhead, like I have to when using the grey-tinted shield. I can see the large digit "mph" display on my Cateye Padrone computer when using the flash shield, but can't see anything on my Garmin Edge 500 computer's screen, unless the sun is shining on it. Younger riders would probably be able to read their computer's displays when wearing the flash shield.

Well, I guess they're all gone. Can't find them on Amazon or eBay. Oh, well.

It's available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074V6DCTZ/ref=twister_B0746HCZT5?_encoding=UTF8&p sc=1. Shipping time is a little long.

Thanks Jay. Exactly why I don't like all the "smartness" of search engines trying to only show me what they think I want!
