Trail Armor Arctic Cat CoolFlo Windshield | 2011-13 Prowler 550 XT/ 700 XTX / XTZ 1000
Have you ever noticed that the most common complaint about riding off-road in a side x side vehicle is the dreaded dust? It's a frustrating issue that only gets worse when you add a windshield and roof, leaving many riders to choose between protection and dealing with the constant dust and heat. But fear not, because Trail Armor has the perfect solution: the CoolFlo Windshield (patent pending). This innovative two-piece design not only provides superior face and eye protection but also tackles the dust and heat problem head-on.
So, what sets CoolFlo windshields apart from other shields on the market? Let's take a closer look at the root cause of the problem. When you install a windshield on an open, roll-caged vehicle, it changes the airflow, creating a low-pressure zone behind the windshield. Ever wondered why your hair blows forward in a jeep or convertible car? That's because of this low pressure. Automakers have tried to address this issue by adding spoilers to roof racks and rear windows to create an air curtain, which works well at highway speeds. However, the problem still persists at lower trail speeds, where the low-pressure zone draws dust into the cabin.
Trail Armor's CoolFlo Windshield tackles this issue by simply removing the lower section of the windshield using their new fast clamps. By doing so, special foils redirect the airflow down to the floor and backward into the cabin, effectively breaking the low-pressure zone and forcing trapped engine heat out of the vehicle. Meanwhile, the upper portion of the CoolFlo Windshield remains in place, providing crucial eye and face protection.
But what if it's too cold to ride without a full windshield? No worries! You can leave the bottom part on and remove it later if needed. Others have attempted to solve the dust and heat problem by offering half or three-quarter windshields, but these options only reduce the low-pressure zone without fully addressing it. Moreover, half of the windshields fail to provide adequate eye protection. With a half windshield, you're left with limited upper protection, only slightly less dust, and the cool air blowing over your head without providing relief.
Trail Armor's CoolFlo Windshields are crafted from durable 1/4" mar-resistant coated polycarbonate on both the exterior and interior, ensuring excellent face and eye protection while effectively relieving dust and heat for a comfortable ride. Installation is a breeze with a total of six fast clamps (four uppers, two lower), and the lower section can be easily removed and replaced on the fly, adapting to your changing needs.
Say goodbye to the frustration of dust and heat while enjoying the ultimate protection and comfort with Trail Armor's CoolFlo Windshield. It's time to elevate your off-road adventures to a whole new level.
