Default Sodium flare with didy shield?

I recently bought a new shield that is didy glass with a swinging boro panel. I have noticed that I see a sodium flare through the didy glass, the boro shield doesn't affect it. It is not as bad as looking at it with no protection, but I never saw any flare with my didys. Has anyone else had this experience with a shield? Is it safe? It sure is annoying.

That's a bummer; I was thinking about getting one too.

I have the didymium shield and don't see any flare at all through it.

If it's the one with a flippable boro shield, it is an Auralens. I have the other kind and don't have that problem. Are you sure the glass in it is the right kind. Perhaps you might want to PM Mike Aurelius about it.
