An air vent comprising: a hollow housing having an inlet, an outlet, and an inner housing wall; a plurality of pivotable vanes disposed proximate the outlet, each vane having a leading edge and a trailing edge between which extend substantially planar and parallel upper and lower surfaces and a pivot axis between the leading edge and the trailing edge, including an outermost vane disposed proximate the inner housing wall and an adjacent vane adjacent to the outermost vane, each of the outermost vane and adjacent vanes pivotable to an extreme position; and a deflector disposed between the inner housing wall and the outermost vane, the deflector extending downwardly from the lower surface of the outermost vane between the leading edge and trailing edge and toward the inlet, wherein airflow between the inner housing wall and the outermost vane is substantially blocked in the extreme position and airflow between the outermost vane and the adjacent vane is uninterrupted in the extreme position.
