Full flip up windshield and rear panel works great. I'd rather buy the SuperATV flip windshield though in hindsight. There's always gonna be a dust issue especially if there are riders ahead of you. @trigger 's face looked like a mudbug at the takeover. Really no way around the dust. Like my avatar, in situations like that I wear goggles and a dust mask. Yes, it's hot even with the windshield flipped up, but I typically am having so much fun that I never seem to notice too much!

I personally would do a 1/2 shield, but I don't know how cold you ride.

Occasionally my dog buries her head completely in the dirt while snorting, and then washes it all down with a round of ass licking, so unless the amount of dust is detrimental to her health, I'd just let her hang out the side and slobber.

Rear panel ! I don't notice any dust with my windshield full up with the Tusk back panel . Although my windshield is a 3 pc so it opens if yours doesnt open it may get too warm .

Buy a wolf snout and deal with the dust. That's what I did because there's no getting away from the dust.
Did you start wearing goggles yet? They do wonders for your eyes.

@sgerksinwi - The dust in the cab wasn't the big problem for me. It was the dust on the windshield, especially when riding towards the sun... There were times I could barely see anything through the windshield. To fix this, I ride with a half windshield in the summer with no rear panel. In the winter. it's a full windshield with a Tusk rear panel. I clean both with a California Duster while riding.

I have the superatv windshield and the dot weld offroad rear windshield but I have to make a filler panel because the dust still wraps up around the back, love the superATV windshield especially now that it's been modded to allow me into the hood area very easily.

We bought new Gmax open face helmets with flip up visors to replace our old MX helmets i might need to bag our goggles and stow them onboard just in case.

I wear sports running glasses.
Definitely picking up a rear panel.
I might try to split and hinge the full to open and close.to a hslf
Which I found this site before I got the accessories that I have probably would of went a different route

If I were to do it all over, I'd go with a folding windshield. But some people have said the folded windshield acts as a ramp to launch the dust into your face. :) There's no winning!
