These windshields will give you a break from the wind in your face on your next ride

Providing ample protection against wind, rain, snow, and debris, a Kawasaki Teryx windshield is a worthwhile upgrade for your trusty side-by-side.

Here, we’ve rounded up the best Kawasaki Teryx windshield options available today, with an eye on quality and overall value, for a range of different Teryx model years. Stick with one of the windshields on this list and you can be sure you’re getting a worthy bit of kit for your ride.

This is just about the strongest, most durable Kawasaki Teryx 4 windshield you can get, and it comes from one of our favorite aftermarket ATV/UTV parts providers: SuperATV. At a quarter of an inch thick, this is among the thickest UTV windshields you’ll find, and it’s made from polycarbonate – a material already some 250 times stronger than glass, and around 25 times stronger than acrylic. Here, that polycarbonate is finished with SuperATV’s advanced XR Optic Hard Coating for unbeatable scratch-resistance and optical clarity and fitted with a weatherproof seal against the hood. This windshield is compatible with 2016+ Teryx 800 and 4 800 models, and about the only thing it’s missing is a fold-down upper windshield pane – a small feature to give up for such a well-built windshield

The perfect Kawasaki Teryx windshield for drivers of older (2009 and prior) Kawasaki Teryx models shopping on a budget, this full tilting windshield from UTV Windshield and Accessories is a stunningly good deal. Made from 3/16”-thick polycarbonate, this windshield is rated to withstand winds up to 80 miles an hour, so you can leave it installed while you trailer your UTV to or from your property, and it features a weather seal along the bottom edge to keep rain and snow where it belongs: outside of the cockpit. There’s a half-windshield version available, with a hinge roughly a third of the way up the windshield so you can flip the upper pane down to provide some cooling airflow on hot summer days, and a half-windshield option at an even lower price. Best of all, both varieties are manufactured right in the USA.

Have you got a new Kawasaki Teryx KRX 1000 in your arsenal? Then you’ll want to check out this Kawasaki Teryx windshield from SuperATV. Purpose-built for the KRX 1000, this windshield is available in at least two different versions, one with a full, fixed pane, and one with a flip-down pane that allows cooling airflow into the cockpit on those warm summer days. No matter which one you get, you’re getting a windshield constructed from 1/4"-thick scratch-resistant polycarbonate, manufactured in Madison, Indiana with SuperATV’s unmatched reputation for quality. A full-length weather seal along the bottom edge keeps you nice and dry whenever there’s a drizzle, and the flip-down version of the windshield even has retaining straps that keep the pane locked down so it doesn’t fly up on the trail.

Providing a perfect, no-drilling fit and install for Kawasaki Teryx models from 2010 through 2013, this full tilting Kawasaki Teryx windshield from Kolpin boasts some serious specs and great features at a fantastic price. The windshield’s 1/4"-thick polycarbonate construction makes for a durable, rugged bit of kit that can survive whatever the trail throws at it. A scratch-resistant finish ensures that the windshield won’t get cloudy from encounters with brush and tree branches as well. Unlike many other tilting designs, this Kolpin windshield features an upward-swinging upper pane that can be locked into either of two open positions – 3”, or 5-1/2” open – or left fully closed for trailering or providing extra protection. In short, it’s a Kawasaki Teryx windshield with full coverage and all the best features, at a price point just about any buyer can afford.

Clearly Tough’s full folding windshield for the Kawasaki Teryx 800 and Teryx 4 800 boasts premium quality at a fair price. It’s made from 3/16”-thick polycarbonate, which is naturally strong – up to 250 times stronger than glass – and impact-resistant, but the manufacturer has taken the extra step of coating that polycarbonate with a UV-treated, scratch-resistant hard coat so that it doesn’t cloud up as quickly as standard polycarbonate. In fact, Clearly Tough is so confident in the longevity of their windshield that each one is sold with a five-year material warranty. Designed for Teryx models from 2016 and up, this windshield also features a sealing weather strip along the bottom edge for a water-tight fit, and a hinge that allows the top portion to be folded down for more airflow.

Which Type of Windshield Is Right For Me?

There are three basic types of Kawasaki Teryx windshield available on the market today: full (fixed), half, and tilting or “flip” windshields. Each one has its benefits and drawbacks and choosing the right type for your ride can get complicated.

What’s more, every polycarbonate or acrylic windshield, no matter how high-quality, develops micro scratches that cause the windshield to “cloud” over time. On overcast days or at night, that’s not as much of an issue, but on especially sunny days, a clouded windshield can be dangerous as the sunlight refracts through those countless tiny abrasions. Here too, the half-windshield has the advantage because it’s easier to see over.

But as a rule, if you can afford a good, well-built tilting windshield with positive customer reviews, that’s the best all-around option. If you can’t, whether to go for a full- or half-windshield will come down primarily to where you drive, and what time of year. If you find that your Kawasaki Teryx spends the bulk of its life splattered in mud, you might be better off with a half-windshield.
