Mike @JTopsUSA can you remind everyone which colors have what level of UV protection?

Thanks so much in advance.
Sure it’s a great question.
Titanium and Stainless Steel block 90% of the UV rays and have a weave pattern of 14x14. It is also a bit heavier mesh.

Al other colors block 80% and have a weave pattern of 14x17.

Weave pattern relates the the size of the opening in the mesh. 14x17 is just slightly rectangular 14x14 is square.

All flags are printed on a special white mesh and it blocks 93% of the UV rays.

Black believe it or not is the most transparent. It has more to do with color reflection than the mesh.

No color is more or less hotter than another. It’s the UV rating that determines the heat.

Hope this helps.

One more thing, we use Twitchell, a US manufactured mesh that is impregnated into the polyester thread coating. Most all Chines mesh of other brands is dip dyed onto the polyester = fades fast! + cheap!

I second this! Black is always a safe bet but maybe it’s time to get spicy since I’ve now seen exactly 1 other bronco raptor out there.
Unless you are Shaquille, nobody is going to be able to tell from the outside. I have a black raptor and are planning to go titanium or the black us flag version for something different.

@JTopsUSA which of the silvers/greys most closely matches the grey of the front skid plate?

This is fair. However if you plan to just leave it on then it’s visible inside always
