    I’ve been debating whether adding a Can Am X3 windshield is really worth it, especially since I spend a lot of time riding on dusty trails and rocky paths. I’ve seen a lot of people mention the Kemimoto windshield for the Can Am X3, and it got me thinking about what actually makes a good windshield for this machine. Does it really help reduce the amount of dust and debris inside the cab, or is it more of a comfort upgrade than a necessity?

    Those who’ve used a Kemimoto Can Am X3 windshield, how is the visibility after long rides? I’ve heard that some polycarbonate windshields can get scratches or fog easily, especially in muddy or humid conditions. Does that happen with the Kemimoto one, or does it stay clear over time? I’m also curious about airflow some riders say that a full windshield can make the cab feel too hot or reduce the open-air feel that makes the X3 fun to drive. Does the Kemimoto version balance that well?

    Installation is another thing I’m wondering about. Was the Kemimoto windshield easy to mount on the Can Am X3 without needing extra parts or adjustments? And for those who’ve had it for a while, how durable is it when exposed to trail debris or rough weather?

    I’d really like to hear honest opinions from anyone using a Can Am X3 windshield, especially those who’ve gone with Kemimoto. Would you recommend it for mixed riding conditions, or is a half windshield better for airflow and comfort?
