Half hood are they as good as they look... are they qwick to put up and do they stop most of the rain... oh and whats the visabilaty like??
I must admit they look like they would go up qwick and stop most of the bad weather .. just wondered how many of you out there would recommend them??

I have only tested mine when I got caught in a light shower, but it seemed perfectly fine. It's just as waterproof all the way back to the back of the doors. Unless it was a long drive in a heavy downpour, I think it would work perfectly well. The other benefit is less noise and less condensation build-up in the cabin (due to the open back).

The full hood is a complete PITA to put up, especially in a hurry. The half hood is much much easier.
