[AT] Having a little fun

[ATIS]

I have one and love the mesh a lot better than the shield.  Get a replacement mesh though.   They will tear if you let it fall out of the back of your truck into the edge of your tool box.   Ask me how I know (-;

Seriously,  shields handle abuse a little better.  The mesh tears and deforms easier and is my only knock against mesh.
