Storm protection
that rides with you.

WHIP is a clear polycarbonate guard you build for each door window. It hangs over and into the door frame, stays on the closed door through high-wind weather, and protects most of the window from hail and storm debris. Nothing on the vehicle is modified, and it stores in its bag until the next storm.

Rides with you

WHIP stays on the closed door, with the door latched, when you drive, so it is still on when you get where you are going.

No modification

Nothing drilled, bolted or stuck to the vehicle. It hangs over and into the door frame.

Fifteen on, five off

One person, no tools. On before the watch becomes a warning, off when it clears.

The WHIP community

Built by people who drive into the weather.

A place for storm chasers, spotters, firefighters, EMTs and storm-coast families to compare notes: how a fit went, how they store the kit between seasons, and what the sky actually did in their county. Ken, EVAC's founder, answers questions in his own workshop board.

Latched. Strapped. Ready.

A single hail event can mean new glass and a claim. WHIP hangs over the door and takes the hit before the window glass beneath it does, then comes off and goes back in the bag.

How it hangs

Four things to know.

  • Over and into the frame

    The panel hangs on the door frame itself, with the doors latched.

  • Pulled tight

    Straps hold it to the door. Doors stay latched the whole time it is on.

  • Back in the bag

    Off in five minutes and back into its own carrying bag.

  • Certificate of authenticity

    A serial-numbered sticker, mailed for every door, that goes between the two panels.

Common questions

Before you pay.

Does one license cover the whole vehicle?
No. One license covers one door: the area beneath the panel, which is most of that door's window and a small part of the door. Protecting more doors means one license per door, each with its own serial-numbered certificate. It does not cover the roof, hood, windshield, paint or body, and the glass beneath it may still break.
Does it fit my truck?
EVAC's documents set two limits: the door needs three straight edges large enough to hang the hooks and straps on, and the panel can be no larger than 36 by 36 inches. The document is drawn around a 2015 Ford F-150, and you make a pattern of your own door from it. If either limit is in doubt for your vehicle, ask before you buy.
What exactly do I receive?
A document: the procurement and assembly instructions and parts list, licensed to you, with your name and order reference on every page. You buy the parts and build the guard yourself. A serial-numbered certificate sticker arrives by certified mail.
What does it cost, all in?
The license is $99 per door. The document's parts list totals $633.28 for one panel, and its cleaning supplies and tools come to about $84 more if you own none of them. Several parts come in multi-packs, so later doors cost less in small parts.
How long does it take to put on?
About fifteen minutes on and five minutes off, one person, no tools. It hangs over and into the door frame with the doors latched, and nothing is modified on the vehicle.
Can I drive with it on?
Yes. WHIP is made to stay on the closed door, with the door latched, through high-wind weather: storm protection that rides with you. It has no certified wind rating and has not been tested by an engineering authority for wind speed, so use at higher speeds is at your own risk. If it ever blocks your view, take it off.
What does it protect against?
Hail and windborne debris thrown by destructive weather, from hailstorms to hurricanes. It protects the area beneath the panel. It is not bullet resistant and it is not wind rated.
Can I share the document?
No. It is licensed to you, one license per door, and every copy is stamped with the buyer's name. You may post photos of your finished panels and your storm stories in the forum, but never the document or its parts list.

For responders

Out in it so others get through it.

Firefighters, EMTs, storm chasers and spotters build WHIP for their own vehicles. Departments are next: see what that could look like, and tell Ken what yours would need.

Emergency services: what's next

Storms don't wait.
Be ready.

Fifteen minutes on, five minutes off, and it stores in its bag. Order before the season, not during it.
