Full Windshield for 2015-2021 Polaris Ranger Midsize 570 - Clear 1/4in

In this review of the Full Windshield for Polaris Ranger Midsize models, the bottom line is simple: this windshield is for riders who want a near-indestructible, well-fitting front barrier that resists everyday off-road hazards. It is aimed at owners of 2015-2021 Ranger Midsize 570 and 2017+ Midsize 500/ETX machines who need a durable polycarbonate shield with a pre-installed seal for an easier install. The standout reason to buy is the combination of a thick 1/4in scratch-resistant polycarbonate panel and a tailored fit that keeps wind and moisture out while surviving brush and sand.

Key Features

• Model fit: Specifically shaped to fit 2015-2021 Polaris Ranger Midsize 570, 570 Crew and 2017+ Midsize Ranger 500/ETX, providing a precise contour match to the machine's cage.
• Hard coating: XR Optic Hard Coating is applied inside and out to improve scratch resistance when riding through brush and sandy conditions.
• Material strength: Constructed from 1/4in scratch-resistant polycarbonate that is shatter resistant and far stronger than glass or acrylic for off-road durability.
• Seal and fit: Includes a pre-installed rubber bulb seal plus foam gaskets to create a snug, rattle-free fit that keeps wind and moisture from entering the cab.
• Installation hardware: Ships with heavy-duty clamps and all necessary hardware so most users can install the windshield without modifying the cage or top.

Who It's For

This windshield is best for Polaris Ranger Midsize owners who regularly ride in brush, dust, or sand and want a durable, close-fitting front shield that will stand up to impacts and abrasion. It suits riders who plan to keep a soft or hard top and need a windshield that is compatible with most tops while preventing wind and moisture intrusion.

Riders who should look elsewhere include owners of Ranger Midsize 800 models or any full-size Ranger, since the fit is not compatible, and those who prioritize absolute optical clarity over impact resistance may prefer different glazing options.
