I noticed a few people running half windshields, and would like to know the benefits of it? To me, it looks like it would direct all the wind and dust right at your face?

I currently run a full windshield in the cooler times, and remove it completely during the warmer months here in AZ. Is there any advantage to having one vs not having one? (Half windshield of course)

It may be just me, but our half windshield seems to reduce the turbulence in the cab. There is significantly less dust than our UTV with a full windshield. When we first got it, I actually thought it was kind of stupid, now I'm kinda liking it.. Tagged for hopefully a more scientific input.

That’s the thing. When running without a windshield in the summer, I just wear goggles with tear-offs on them. I’m trying to figure out if the half windshield will lesson the dust coming in.
My full windshield creates a ton of dust in the cab, even with a rear window installed. I cut in 2 Seizmik vents for my windshield, but have yet to see if they’re affective at breaking the dust bowl.

1/2 windshield does some good directing water/mud over the dash area too. Still requires eye protection.

I can vouch for the less dust in the cab. I have the super atv half windshield. For me in the winter, it blocks all the cold air from hitting your body/chest area and over the top of your head/face. Goggles needed for sure. In the summer I take it off completely. I’ve rode with it on in 108 degree weather and it sucked lol . No windshield can be ran in the desert here where I live, you will literally sweat and cook to death.

So it seems that it would be useless here in AZ with all the dust. Guess I’ll have to find tiny wipers to install on my goggles.

I have run both on my Honda and currently have a half on my KRX. I prefer the full windshield in the non dust riding areas and in the winter here in AZ. The half is great for deflecting the wind up and over my head. No matter what you're going to get dusty, it just reduces wind in my face, enough that I can hear my cheap blue tooth speak at 45 mph. The full windshield just creates a vacuum.

I went full glass. The half windshield really does help the wind blast go up and over your head, not straight in the face blast with no windshield at all.

I've got a TUSK half windshield for sale, only used it a month, no scratches, $50 plus shipping. I went full glass. The half windshield really does help the wind blast go up and over your head, not straight in the face blast with no windshield at all.

PM sent.

Don’t y’all think they should be called 1/4 windshields? They’re not actually half. Lol. Although a true half windshield would be great.

The idea is to direct the wind/dust up and over your face while preventing dirt tornadoes like the full ones do.

The only problem is those of us that are tall, literally get all the wind and dirt in our face lol if it was a true half windshield it would work perfect.

The half windshield has an angled lip on top to deflect the wind up and over your head.

Somebody needs to make a really nice and 100% functional positive air flow roof so we can run full windshields with zero dirt tornadoes.

Up and over into your face. At least for me

 

[Thumper13]

Up and over for me as well, plus keeps the worst of the cold off me during cold weather.

Maybe it’s the brand that makes a difference? I grabbed one off @Rocky Heap used to give it a try. I know that one is from Tusk, but SuperAtv makes one as well.

I have a super atv

It does. I have a Tusk and it throws the air up over me. A friend has a different brand and it blast me in the face.

 

[BigParm]

Ahhh, so maybe the lip on the superatv one has a different angle. @Speedyg is there any way to modify the angle on the one you have?
