Get a Koplin tilt out windshield and have both.

 

I made four windshields. I use the Half most of the time - the Full is used in the winter.

A must is the windshield be Hard Coated on Both Sides or it will scratch!

 

i was wondering the same thing. It seems like a full windshild would be smart for bugs and what not year arouond. How does the half windshield work for bugs and winter?

 

What did you use to make your windshields out of I looked into plexiglass but by the time I buy it and put labor in it I could just buy 1

 

I like a full windshield year round to keep dust,dirt,snow and the cold air off of my face.

 

The full is nice, but it creates a negative pressure behind it that sucks in a lot of dust during the summer. It's a double edged sword--keeps the dust out from in front of you, but you'll still get it on the inside from behind.

To fix it, either add a back window, or use something like the previously mentioned tilt windshield, or J Strong makes one that fold over frontwards. That's what I have and I love it.....it takes about 5 seconds to fold it over. I think it was about $150ish

 

i have a full one and the canvas cab back. i cam easily and quickly take them off/on, so i can run what the conditions call for year round.

 

The Kolpin is a great windsheild to have both. The upper part of the windshield can be removed to have a half windshield. They dont scratch either. Highly recommended.

 

I will have to check em out I'm just tired of freezin my ass of or gettin dusted out by everybody else in our ridin group

 

can I recommend a new XP? you will be dusting them and you will have a warm toasty smile .

What did you use to make your windshields out of I looked into plexiglass but by the time I buy it and put labor in it I could just buy 1

stop by my shop = have a piece or clear lexan you can have - it would make a good half - its about 20" x 6' .188 or quarter.

hey come to think of it I have a full Polaris one that came with mine. 1st guy bought it. 26 hrs. I think both of us just moved it around our garage. may not have ever been on. I'm trading in but the dealer never saw it. Forgot I had it.

 

I have the Polaris LNR full windshield and took it on it's first ride sunday. The conditions were partly cloudy, almost no breeze, 6-8 inches of snow, and the air temp was about 17F. WOW! how nice to not need my goggles to keep the wind while driving out of my eyes. We had also installed the under dash block-off kit and were quite happy doing 30-45mph in the snow. Yes a very small amount of snow powder finds its way onto the dash and floor, but compared to the blockage of wind it was well worth it. It takes a small amount of effort to snap it on and off the roll cage, but I like having the option to ditch it if i want. I have to say I liked the ride so much I'll bet it stays. No scratches yet...its polycarbonate (tougher than plexiglas) and I gave it a few coats of rain-x. Time will tell...

This summer the dust coming in while driving will prob be a bigger factor and I am already thinking of adding the poly rear panel later this year.

 

go Kolpin -

 

The only downfall i've seen with the full windshield is the dust and mud sticks to the out side and makes it impossible to see when driving into the sun.Other then that it's great to keep the cold air out of your face.

 

Agree with above post, I have the half and love it. It does get very dusty and full of crap. I can imagine how hard it would be to see out of it

 

I just pulled my full wind shield off this last trip to OW. Wow what a differnce. I don't smell anymore exhaust in the cab. Mine seemed to create some sort of vortex that drew the exhaust from the rear into the cab.

If I ever go back with it I will cut the bottom off up to the first side mount clip about 4 to 5 inches off the bottom and re-install it that way and try it. That way you don't get wind in your face and should hopefully have enough air running through the bottom of to force the exhaust out of the cab.

I'm not really seeing how the half winshields work if they are from the bottom up half way.

 

I use a Windstopper rear mesh net which works really well. No fumes in the cab at all. I have seen the polaris rear plastic piece working as well. Either would eliminate fumes in the cab.

 

I like the Kolpin except for the bends can get in you line of sight.

 

I have the Pure Polaris flip out windshield and like it. The windshield flips out and out of line of sight. The flip out is hand for wet snow or mud. It has three positions. One for ventilation, one open for unobstructed view and finally closed.

 

This subject comes up a lot. I was advised to buy the Polaris flip-out windshield by my dealer, he guaranteed me I woild not regret it, and I do not.

It does not look to me like it is going to scratch up easily, I have been whacking branches with it.

It is very well designed, especially the function of the latch. Allows you to have it open at the bottom just an inch or so, keeps dust out of your cab.

You can ride with the W/S flipped all the way up as well, but might not be recommended for high speeds on rough terrain in that position.

This is my ride, pic taken from top of Morrison Trail, Beartooth Mountains, Wy.

 

Yeah but I am not so convinced of its scratch resistance. I dont have the polaris flip out but I do have the lock and ride windshield and it scratches way too easily. The Kolpin split windshield didnt scratch in almost 2 years of riding now and it has seen some serious use.

 

i like the looks of 34fords pic but when you open it all the waywouldnt limbs and debris hit it or does it open so it aint stickin out

 

No it sticks out but at full opened position its only got a gap about 6 inches wide. So basically the top half of your neck/face are still covered. When you want to go half windshield, then take the top half off. 34 Ford is correct though, the bends do get in the way a bit but it wasnt enough to bother me.

 

I just put the Polaris lock and ride windshield and the rear panel on. They work great together and with the sport roof. See my reply on poly rear panel post for more info.

 

A buddy of mine went to the local auto-glass shop and they cut him a piece of glass (same as automotive windshield). He then made a metal frame to go around the glass... works perfect and looks awesome. He also put a manual winshield wiper at the top through the metal frame.

I think the glass cost him about $100.

 

Old dog
How has you windshield held up? Any scratching problems? How much dust do you get in the cab without a rear window? Have you compared it to the Koplin?

 

Looks to me like the Kolpin is made much the same as the pure polaris. I now have 1800 miles on my ride in just less than a year, and the majority of it is trail riding in the rocky mountains here. No scratches on the filp-out W/S, and I would still buy it again.

My friend just surprised me with buying a 2012 Pursuit like mine, and the flip-out is the first accessory he had put on besides the horn and rear view mirror.
