You get some added "safety" where they help keep you inside, while still giving you a good open air feeling.

You get an arm rest.

You can add on storage bags for more storage.

I've never had them, but I can see the benefits of having a place to put your arm, some side protection, and still getting the open air feeling of no doors.

around town, if some moron side swipes you, your tube door takes the hit and not your leg.

And they just look awesome.

Default Not really useful......

I have tube doors. I didn't think of them as a safety aspect though. I ride a motorcycle so I realize the open air feeling is kinda like a convertible vehicle. (when there is no snow here in Utah!) I just thought, Hey! Those are bitchen! Then again I use the word "bitchen" so........

The 4 doors look nakie without something there. 2 door is a different story.

The armrest aspect though is very true IMO.

Something to lean on while poking my head out to spot myself is kinda nice too.

I want some at least for the back. I have 3 kids and when off roading, would feel better if I have something there, plus they are cheaper than purchasing the half doors.

Im looking at scoring some in the spring to help keep my 200lb mastiff from sliding out sideways going around curves or on side hills. He has a seatbelt harnesss that keeps him pretty secure but just a little piece of mind is always nice.

The next question is:

Which tube doors do you like the best?
