I like the look of bubbles and I like that being smaller than a full windshield they give a little more room for moving around and doing things when fishing. I had bubbles for years and said I'd never get a full windshield. That is until I got a full windshield. Now I wouldn't go back to bubbles. But it will depend a bit on your fishing. We fish tourneys and what we found with bubbles was that when you're running, the wind's blowing in your face and makes talking or visiting a chore. With a windshield, the experience when running is so much nicer. You can actually talk to each other, eat/drink while you're running, and can look around and enjoy the scenery around you. And, if it's rough and you have to quarter the wind in a bad direction or it's raining, you stay so much drier. In all my years of fishing I never thought I'd go from bubbles to a full windshield, but after doing so I wouldn't go back.
