Hurricane season

The bands come first.
So does the kit.

Long before the eye, the outer bands throw palm fronds, shingles and yard debris across everything outside, parked or on the road out. The kit goes on when the watch is issued, rides with you if you leave, and comes off when the sky clears.

Get WHIPHow it works

What it throws at a vehicle

  • Wind-blown debris

    Fronds, limbs, roofing and anything loose in a yard become projectiles in the first bands.

  • Squalls and driving rain

    Bands cross with wind-driven rain and whatever the wind picks up on the way.

  • A long window to prepare

    A hurricane watch gives a day or more. Fifteen minutes of it is enough to cover the doors.

What the kit is built for

Debris and weather-driven projectiles at the doors and the glass they cover, in the hours before and after a storm.

What it is not

The kit is not wind rated and the agreement says so plainly. It is not a seal against water or surge. Not bullet resistant.

  • A red pickup with WHIP guards strapped over its doors driving through deep, churning floodwater as palms bend in hurricane wind
  • A black pickup on a seawall road as waves break beside it, a lighthouse ahead and a hurricane spiral overhead

Questions

Before you pay.

Protects against hail, debris and weather-driven projectiles. Not bullet resistant. Not wind rated.

Does it carry a wind-speed rating?
No. The agreement says there is no certified wind-speed rating. It is built for the debris a storm throws, not for the wind itself.
Can I drive with it on to evacuate?
Yes. It is made to stay on the closed door through high-wind weather, so it rides with you. It is not certified for wind speed, so use at higher speeds is at your own risk, and take it off if it ever blocks your view.
When should it go on?
When the watch is issued. It comes off in about five minutes when the storm has passed.

Storms don't wait.
Be ready.

Fifteen minutes on, five minutes off, and it stores in its bag. Order before the season, not during it.
