UTV Cab Best
Buy Guide.
Looking for more protection than UTV
windshields
offer? Then UTV cab enclosures are your next step up. Again, you have
several options depending on your needs. We'll cover the three main
types below. We included some cabs for sale on Ebay at the bottom of
the page. Be sure and browse those just to see what kind of deal you
can get.
Full hard cab
enclosure
- offers the most protection. Usually made from ABS plastic or
fiberglass. These cabs do a pretty good job of keeping the elements
outside where they belong. They can be removed, but it's not something
you want to be doing very often.
The hard cabs are the most
expensive, heaviest, and most difficult to put on and take off. If you
use your UTV a lot in bad weather, a hard cab is the best choice for
maximum protection and comfort. Just think of it as a semi-permanent
installation.
Full soft UTV
cab
- Has almost as much protection as the hard cab at a much lower price.
Made from some form of heavy duty nylon in most cases. Marine grade
being the top of the line. Offers the most configuration flexibility.
They can be combined with a hard windshield and back window, or can be
made with an integrated clear vinyl windshield and windows.
Zip
out doors are another option. Most can be zipped out and rolled up for
storage. Or you can roll them down partially for better ventilation in
warmer weather while still providing good protection. Some cabs use an
aluminum door frame which can be used as full doors, half doors, or
just the lower tubular structure.
Throw in a UTV cab heater, and you can be comfy in a wide range of
temperatures and conditions.
Mounting
is relatively easy with a system of velcro strips, buckles and straps,
and self adhesive tape. Not as permanent as the bolt on hard cabs, once
mounted, it's fairly secure.
Mini cab
- For about the same price as a lexan windshield, you can have a mini
soft cab that includes a vinyl windshield and rear window along with a
top cap. That's a lot of protection for a very affordable price. If you
live in a warmer climate where you could do without the doors, I would
give a mini UTV cab a serious look.
