Four builds cover this category, from a pair of side panels to rigid polycarbonate.
| Type | Material and specs | Best for | What you give up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft side enclosures | 18-ounce vinyl with clear acrylic uppers (Moose) or a 600-denier polyester shell with acrylic doors and side windows (Greene Mountain), full-length double-pull zippers | Closing the sides of a Commander that already runs a roof and windshield | No seal on their own: Greene Mountain designs its panels around a hard top, windshield and rear windjammer |
| Soft upper doors | Pel-Tek PVC-backed polyester, CNC cut, double-polished vinyl windows that roll up on snaps (SuperATV Primal) | 2021+ 1000R owners who keep their lower doors and want the top half sealed | Needs lower doors to close the cab, and SuperATV rates it for use only down to -20°F |
| Full soft cab | Door panels, back panel, top and vinyl windshield in 1000-denier acrylic-coated polyester with 30-gauge smoked vinyl and YKK zippers (3 Star), or a 1000-denier nylon cab for a bare cage (Greene Mountain) | One order that closes in a bare-cage Commander for winter | The Greene Mountain cab won't work with any hard top, and the 3 Star cab ships in seven to 10 days |
| Hard polycarbonate upper doors | 1/4-inch hard-coated polycarbonate in clear or light tint, edged with an automotive bulb seal, with a vent that slides open (Spike) | 2021+ 2-seat Commanders that want a rigid upper with adjustable airflow | Front doors only on a MAX, and its inner triangle panel interferes with OEM Can-Am mirrors |
Read the spec lines before the photos. Fabric weight comes first. Denier measures fiber weight, so the 1000-denier fabric in the 3 Star and Greene Mountain full cabs is heavier stock than the 600-denier shell on Greene Mountain's side panels, and 3 Star coats its woven polyester with acrylic on top and bottom. Window material comes next. Moose and Greene Mountain sew in automotive-grade clear flexible acrylic, while 3 Star and SuperATV use double-polished vinyl with published cold limits. Closures come last: 3 Star doors run on YKK zippers, and the Moose and Greene Mountain panels open on full-length double-pull zippers.
From the shop: read the cage requirement before the price. Greene Mountain's full cab is cut for a bare roll cage and won't work with any hard top. Its side enclosure is the opposite, built to finish a cab that already has a hard top, windshield and rear windjammer. Each listing says Commander, so the two are easy to confuse. An enclosure also stops wind without making heat, which is why most winter builds add a Commander cab heater the same season.
The entry point is a pair of soft side panels. At $299.00 to $349.50 depending on color, Greene Mountain's side enclosure is the lowest-priced way in, and the Moose panels follow at $379.95. Either one closes the sides and nothing else. Most Commander owners end up in the middle band, which starts at $415.47 for SuperATV Primal upper doors, with seat count and an optional rear windshield taking that kit as high as $727.11. Greene Mountain's full cab sits at $449.00, and Spike's polycarbonate uppers run $598.45 to $636.45 depending on clear or light tint. That middle band gets you a sealed or nearly sealed cab and the bulk of the quality this category offers. The premium pick is the 3 Star full cab at $785.95 to $888.95 with color and zip-open windows, where the money buys doors, back panel, top and windshield in one order of 1000-denier fabric.
SuperATV backs Primal doors for one year against defects in materials and workmanship. The most common warranty is between 3-6 months, but Everything Can-Am Offroad does offer extended 1- and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in — you can add the extended warranty right at checkout. Returns are risk-free for 90 days, we'll match a lower price if you find one, and before you order you can check what Can-Am owners say about our service.
SuperATV lists its Primal upper doors for the 2021+ Commander 1000R DPS, XT and XTP, the 1000R XMR from 2022 and the MAX 1000R DPS and XT from 2021. Spike's polycarbonate kit fits 2021+ 2-seat models and the front doors of a 2021+ MAX. Primal doesn't list the Commander 700, so text us your model before ordering for a 700.
Greene Mountain rates its full cab and side enclosure to 75 MPH and says neither has to come off for trailering. SuperATV secures Primal doors with Velcro, snaps and cinch straps so they hold through trailering. The Moose and 3 Star listings don't publish a trailer speed rating, so call us before highway towing with those installed.
It depends on the window material and the maker's rating. 3 Star rates its 30-gauge smoked vinyl to a -40°F cold crack, the point where vinyl turns brittle enough to split. SuperATV says not to use Primal doors below -20°F. Moose and Greene Mountain don't list a cold rating for their acrylic windows. Below zero, a heater matters as much as the fabric, because the enclosure only holds the warmth you add.
On a 2021+ MAX, SuperATV sells its Primal upper doors in a 4-seat version. Spike's polycarbonate kit fits the MAX's front doors only, so the rear openings need a different solution. For a 2011-2020 MAX, text us your year and trim and we'll confirm which panels close all four openings.
