Storm protection for car and truck door windows in the Desert SouthwestMonsoon comes fast.
Be ready faster.

The monsoon turns a clear afternoon into a dust wall, a hail core and a flash flood inside an hour. The kit goes on in the time it takes the sky to change.

Get WHIPHow it works

Monsoon season late June to September. Winter storms bring hail and graupel to the high desert.

Southwest

What the weather does to a vehicle here.

  • Haboob and blown grit

    A dust wall carries sand and gravel at speed. Paint and glass on the windward side take it.

  • Monsoon hail

    Afternoon monsoon cells drop hail over the valleys, often with little rain before it.

  • High-desert winter storms

    Hail and graupel with winter fronts across the plateau, and wind that moves whatever is loose.

What it is built to take

The hazards here.

  • Weather-driven projectiles

    Outflow gravel, limbs, roofing. Anything the storm throws.

    Tornado season

  • Hail

    The stone meets the guard before the glass it covers.

    Hail season

  • Wind-blown debris

    Wind-blown debris meets the panel before the glass beneath it.

    Hurricane season

  • Storm season

    Panels on when the watch is issued. Off in five when it clears.

Questions from Southwest

Before you pay.

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

Does the heat affect the kit?
Store it in its bag out of direct sun between storms, the way you would any outdoor gear.
Does it help in a dust storm?
It is built for hail, debris and weather-driven projectiles at the doors and glass. Blown grit is debris. It is not a seal and it is not wind rated.
How much warning does a monsoon storm give?
Often under an hour. Fifteen minutes on, one person, no tools.
Can I cover more than one door?
Yes. Each door is its own license, with its own stamped document and serial-numbered certificate.

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.
