Can-Am Defender & Defender MAX HD10 Half Windshield, 1/4" Polycarbonate, 11" Tall, Forward Lip Deflects Air Over the Cab, Made in USA

On hot days you want air moving through the cab of your Can-Am Defender HD10, just not a face full of wind, bugs and dust. This 11" half windshield sits low on the hood line and uses a forward-facing lip to push air up and over your head, so you keep the open-cab feel and a clear view while the worst of it goes past.

Highlights

• 1/4" polycarbonate, 25 times stronger than acrylic and 250 times stronger than glass
• 11" (280 mm) tall
• Forward-facing lip routes air over the cab
• Low profile keeps sightlines clear
• Protects against chemical and UV attack
• Contoured to the hood with a full-length rubber seal
• Clamps to the frame, hardware included
• Made in the USA, 1-year warranty

Half or 3-in-1?

• Half windshield: light, simple and affordable; best for hot-weather airflow
• 3-in-1 windshield: converts between full, vented and half; better dust and weather control for year-round riding

Choose the half windshield if you mostly ride in warm weather and want simplicity.

Tough and Clear

Thick polycarbonate shrugs off branches and roost that would crack thinner shields. Clean it with mild soap and water and a soft cloth to keep it clear.

Is a Half Windshield Right for You?

• Good fit: warm-weather riding, ranch work in and out of the cab, riders who want airflow and don't like a sealed cab
• Consider a full or 3-in-1: dusty group rides, cold weather, rain, or if you plan to add a rear windshield and doors

A half windshield also gives you a clean look without the glare and reflections a full windshield can create at night with lights on.

Care Tips

• Rinse off dust and grit before wiping so you don't scratch the surface
• Use mild soap and water or a plastic-safe cleaner; avoid ammonia and glass cleaners
• Dry with a microfiber cloth
• Check the clamps for tightness after the first few rides

Why Polycarbonate Over Acrylic

Acrylic shields are cheaper but can crack or shatter when a branch or rock hits them, especially in cold weather. Quarter-inch polycarbonate flexes and absorbs the hit instead, which is why it's the standard for off-road windshields. The UV-resistant surface also helps it stay clear rather than yellowing after seasons in the sun.
