Abstract
Lightweight wind deflectors having Mounting Sleeves attachable to Eyeglass Temple Stems. The Mounting Sleeves are flexible with rectangular cutouts running their lengths giving them the ability to attach or slide onto the Eyeglass Temple Stems. The Ear Flaps which deflect wind around the ears attach to Pressure Plate Hinge's, which establish and maintain pressure between the Ear Flaps and the wearer's cheekbones, they also allow lateral movement of the Ear Flap's for removal and placement on the head. Sleeve Shims can be installed into the rectangular cutouts of the Mounting Sleeves to compensate for different size eyeglass frames.
