Form or function, take your pick!

If you get a shield just for "looks" then you are probably right that it won't be very functional.
To be really useful, it must deflect the wind OVER your head. That means that the top of the shield must come up at least to your nose and better to about eyebrow level.

Think about being hit square in the face by a pigeon......or being hit in the neck with a rock. Helmet or no, those things can be life threatening.
