2011 Arctic Cat Prowler Full CoolFlo Front Windshield - Part # TA011SHLD-AC
Quick - what is the most common
complaint about riding off-road in a side x side vehicle? I’ll bet you
said “the DUST”. Install a windshield and roof and you actually compound
the problem. In frustration, many have chosen to give up the protection
of a windshield altogether rather than be plagued by the dust and heat.
After extensive trail testing, Trail Armor has the answer – the CoolFlo
Windshield (patent pending). This unique two-piece design delivers
relief from back draft dust while providing superior face and eye
protection. As an added benefit, it also helps by reducing cabin
temperature.
How are CoolFlo windshields different from other
shields on the market? To answer this, let’s look at what creates the
problem. An open, roll-caged vehicle lets air flow freely while in
motion. Put a windshield on the vehicle and the flow of air is changed -
a low pressure zone is created behind the windshield. Ever ride in a
jeep or convertible car and wonder why your hair blows forward toward
the front or windshield? It is because of this low pressure. Automakers
have addressed the issue by adding spoilers to roof racks and rear
windows to create an air curtain. This works at highway speeds, but the
problem still exists at lower trail speeds. It is this low pressure zone
that draws the dust into the cab.
By simply removing the lower
section of the windshield, air is redirected by special foils downward
to the floor and backward into the cab, effectively breaking the low
pressure zone and forcing trapped engine heat out of the vehicle. The
upper portion of the CoolFlo Windshield stays in place for much needed
eye and face protection. What if it’s too cold to ride without a full
windshield? Leave the bottom part on and take it off later if you need
to. Others have tried to fix the dust and heat problem by making half or
three-quarter windshields. This only reduces the low-pressure zone; it
does not break it. And half windshields do not provide adequate eye
protection. So, with a half windshield you have no upper protection,
only slightly less dust and the cool air is blown over your head without
providing any relief.
