Default HELP ME CHOOSE: Highrock Full Element Doors or Bestop Full Soft Superdoors

Hi all,

Decided I'm going to run aftermarket doors from about March through October up here in northern MA. I take the doors off so often during those months, it just makes sense.

I'm pretty set on either the Highrock Element doors with enclosure and uppers or Bestop soft upper and lower Superdoors.

Element doors
Pros:
Better protection?
More versatile
Quieter?
Better insulation from cold?

Cons:
Heavier with enclosure
More expensive
Not as easy to toss in the back?

Superdoors
Pros:
Lightweight
Easy to store in back
Less expensive

Cons:
Less protection
No 'tube door' option
Noisier?
Less cold air insulation?

I'm leaning towards the full Element doors, but I do like the lighter weight and look of the soft Superdoors quite a bit too...

Opinions, reasons for one over the other?

Thanks all...

No thanks to any of you!


Bought Bestop Superdoors. So far so good, no fitting issues whatsoever. Haven't gone on highway yet though...

Any update? I bought a set used and I'm less than impressed with the uppers.
