Full Windshield VS Half Windshield

Looking at putting a windshield on my Rex - Do the 1/2 windshields (not shorty, but true 1/2) keep the dust out of your face in the summer months, but still allow enough ventilation so you don't roast?

The one I'm looking at has a bend at the top and is just below your sightline. I thought about getting a full, but may buy two "halves" and put the upper on in the colder months.

Yes, 1/2 windshields do a great job. The only thing they dont do is keep the rain out of your face.

I have the same setup you are talking about on my rhino with the Yamaha lower and EMP upper.. I really like it. The lower also blocks some water if you splash a mud hole or creek.

if i was going to decide.....get a fold-down one from J-Strong or Hunterworks

1/2 with the kickout works great, winter or summer.

Full for me.......winter riding could be -20 F....gotta keep that stuff off your face!

Just a tad bit different that me

Half for me it doesnt block my view when it gets dirty, rode with a full one for a while stayed dirty couldnt see costantly cleaning it. Took it off an gave it away.

Think I'll go with a half, may get another flat half to add for winter.

Fold downs and tip ups are cool, but I hate to spend that much $$$. I'm kinda cheap!!! LOL

Not only are they expensive, but I've wondered how they hold up when getting smacked by tree branches on narrow trails.

I could just picture getting a limb underneath one of the fold-down ones and sending 1/2 of the windshield flying as it ripped it off its hinges before I could slow down...

I looked repeatedly at the OEM "tip out" one but that was just more $$ than I was willing to put to the test on these narrow New England trails.

So, I bought a 1/2 windshield, and mounted it so that I can use my flexible vinyl "strap-on" temporary windshield with it, if I need to in a downpour or something...

That sounds like a great idea, something I can roll up and stick in a trunk. This may be a bit off topic, but does anyone use canvas or vinyl for doors like the zip offs you see on golf carts?

J-Strong has some for the rhino........
and i would get a yamaha half windshield and buy the EMP upper shield with quick connect clamps like Mud & Guts has
