Mesh top.

My wife and I are going to the Keys for a week at the end of the month. Since she is a redhead and burns super easy I want to get a mesh top for some shade while topless. I never knew there were so many different ones out there. I knew about spiderweb shades, but then I found alien shades which look exactly the same for half the price. Jeep tops USA are twice the price and have som neat features but I don't know if they are that neat. Bartact is just a little more than the spiderweb and has a lot of the same features as the jeep top and they make awesome seat covers. Does anyone have any experience with these tops? My wife wants to get the best possible one. I'm 6'2" so I'm leaning towards the bar tact for the extra head room. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm 6'2" and have the spiderweb shade and have no complaints with it at all. I don't touch while sitting.

You can also get tons of different designs other than just the basic colors they list on their website.

Mine took 2 extra weeks and a little more money because it was a custom order. It's black with a grey American flag and looks amazing.

I have the Bartact shade and would highly recommend it. I like that the shade covers to the edge of the bar (no gaps), it's very tight, and blocks lots of sun while still allowing plenty of airflow. I'm 6'4" and my head has never touched the shade. A+ product.

I run the Bartac on my JKU also and really like it! I'm 6'3" and it easily clears my head so no rubbing issues and as mentioned previously no gap at the header. Plus there are a lot of straps mounted in different spots on the Bratac shade which makes it easy to adjust tension on it to keep it taut, so no sagging or flapping around while driving.

I have the spiderweb shade jkini I think it's called. Only covers the front. I'm very happy with it but it does leave gaps here and there. Doesn't bother me but just want to make sure you're aware. It's made a huge difference in the comfort of riding around in the beating sun.

I went cheap with Rugged Ridge and still love it. Stays on all the time even with the top on. Makes a hell of a difference no more bakin while driving

I have a Gearshade and borrowed a spiderweb shade before. Personally I think the spiderweb shade fits a bit tighter but the pockets in the front of the gearshade are nice to have.

Heres the Rugged Ridge installed. Cost me $60-70 I believe. Well worth it but there is probably better ones out there as some have recommended. I wanted something functional and it serves my purpose well. Regardless wich way you go, you will be alot happier with the setup
