Default Anti-wind buffers?

I know in the world of wind buffers and hard tops this might not be a popular product but I'm just curious if there are products that channel wind on to the passengers.

My Jeep has the old style vent windows and those offered tons of wind in your face. I was noticing on a warmer day that the top down doesn't really offer enough wind to keep you cool unless you're doing over 60 mph. I've flipped the wind buffer down and that gives a little extra wind but like a kid who got a cookie, I want more!

Oh, I don't know, perhaps try removing that big piece of glass in front of you that shields the wind?

if it's THAT hot, why don't you just turn the A/C on 1 click?

I tried that. The AC usually gets whipped away before it even touches me on full blast. It works at a stop light but that's about it.

At about 85

try putting the windows up in conjunction with the a/c . or a hat to keep direct sunlight off your head/neck.

do it ace ventura style, stick your face out the side of the car.

i found that sticking your elbow out the window (while its resting on top of the door) causes air to rush in and hit your face... i know this coz i usually do it and one time, a bug got swooshed by the wind into my eye... ouch that hurt.......

Yup...windows up, AC on. if your AC is on and the windows are down, the AC cools your feet and that's it.
