I am thinking about going with a white medium height windshield on the Pro-s LE. I am not really tall (5'10") and am used to sit down snowmobiles ('02 or older styles). I prefer that the wind hit at top of helmet when sitting. Just curious if people out there thought the medium was high enough? where did the wind hit you? Chest, under helmet? over helmet?

Also, can you see over the medium windshield? worried that the white may block the view...

Thanks for the input!

The medium Height AXYS windshield introduced for MY15 is considered 18.5" tall, and available in red, black, white and clear. For MY16 they are calling it the AXYS Flatland Mid Windshield.

New for MY16 is the AXYS Deep Snow Mid Windshield, rated at 13" tall, and available in solid colors: blue, red, black and white.

For discussion purposes, I am specifically asking about the AXYS Flatland Mid Windshield.

ThanksExcursionPSD. Good Info!

 

I'm 5'8" and don't even notice the medium shield on my 2015 rush. The low shield is absolutely useless.

 

I am 6' and the wind hits me just below the helmet with the std windshield which I believe is the 18" psd is talking about. Just rode in 20 below temps and thought it was ok but will prolly buy the high one for those cold trips.

 

I'm thinking about the deep snow 13" windshield. Looks like you can use the big windshield bag with it.

 

I'm 5'9 with the mid size, the air seems to hit me a few inches below my helmet. I dont think it protects much of the hands either.

 

totally agree im 5`11 mid windshield puts the wind up right under the helmet on my pro s. hands were also cold bought katahdin gauntlets for the first time very warm. wouldn`t leave home without them. rode a 2012 pro r low shield and was better to be hit in the chest with the wind.

 

I have the tall and it is good. They make an extra tall also but I think you would be riding in 30 below weather to require that. The tall you look over, has the wind flow at about your forehead, and keep your hands warm.

 

Get the tallest available.

 

I'm 6'5" and put the medium windshield on my Pro-S 800 SB.
The wind hits the top of my helmet so you should be fine. Can't speak for the visibility though as my windshield is clear.

 

I had the medium and just bought and installed the tall (not the extra tall). So far it is the best $100 I spent on my sled (SB 800 pro s). The main benefit with the tall shield is it keeps hands WARM. I struggled all season with handguards and gloves. Now no issues at all. I'm 5'11'' and have no issues seeing over or through it.

 

Guess I never thought of that. Seems like tall is well worth it. I am used to riding in mechanics gloves. Love the feel of light gloves. I was planning on going with the large Rox hand guards covers in hopes that I could stick with the mechanics gloves. I guess I'm just bummed that they can't make a medium windshield that actually protects your hands.

 

 

Is that the tall or medium?

 

Here is the tall.
I think the picture in above post is the extra tall.

 

 

6ft. The medium was not tall enough for me. The grandpa windshield from the Adventure is much better. That being said, every 6ft tall is not the same in height over the seat. Longer legs/shorter torso or vice versa make's windshield height different for everyone. Try as many as you can.

 

The regular Tall works very well. I am 6'2" and wear the mx style helmet with goggles. I have never had the hand warmers on high and most of the time they are off. It is kind of like the wide clyde See picture. I have on the Pro R just a little taller. In real life it looks good on the sled and you stay warm.

Cool. That was my hope. Thanks everyone for your input. Now if it could only be next winter already. Ha! :fistpump2:

 

anyone use the rox adjusters with the tall shield?

 

I should get the tall windshield in the mail today. Install this weekend and can let you know. I have the ROX adjustable on the LE. The low windshield is a piece of Sh*&. Although I expected nothing less and its on my sled only because that's what it came with.

I rode last weekend in mid to high 20's and was on the verge of cold. Looking cool has never been so dumb IMHO.

Makes your sled feel soooo much faster when part of the G-force you feel is the wind trying to pull you off the sled along with the horsepower :laff:.

 

My turbo cat came with the same type of useless windshield.
Great marketing eh ? Sleds look great in the brochures with a 3 " high windshield.
My dealer must have 50 medium-high windshields in stock.
Great way to suck the consumers into spending another 150 bucks, to get a real windshield.

hahaha...I agree

My dealer actually told me "you don't want a high windshield" those things are ugly. I said fine by me I will take ugly any day.

 

Once you go tall you never go back. It's just part of growing wiser.

 

If it helps you get over actually wanting to be warm on yur sled, just call it a racing shield....alla the Iron Dog winners have them!

I went all in with the wide and tall. Bein wide makes the tall look less dorky and it covers the bars too.

 

The LE is absolutely a blast. I had so much fun with the power of the new HO that I didn't even spend much time setting up the suspension, bit it was pretty damn nice set to the factory preload settings. Just a note, make sure to check all settings and set it to factory. Mine were not close out of the box.

 

yep, the front springs and front track springs were right on, rear spring and all shocks were way off.

 

Get the extra tall one. I am 5'7" and still look over the shield and cold no more!!

 

Second that for the tall recommendation! I have a mid forsale !

What is the height of the mid windshield, the one I have is measure 19'' from front to the tip. is this considered a mid or tall? thanks

 

this the difference between tall and mid. I look at super tall which is 4" taller than the tall which is 20" and the mid is 15". One of the guys at my dealer said I was not old enough for the super tall. The tall is a lot warmer than the mid I had with Hand guards. I think the extra tall on real cold days would be perfect.

 

I'm guessing tall won't clear handguards?. I've got an le and have the rox riser set high.

 

I like the tall. Had it installed right off the bat so I can't comment on the difference between stock shield.
