Question Need help deciding on tube doors please!

So I was dead set on body armor because they look really cool and then I came across the barricade which I've never heard of, but seem to be really sturdy and offer a little protection. I've never had any tube door before, but with kids it just gives me a tiny piece of mind. What would you you guys recommend? Thanks for the help.

I like my Body Armor Doors. The netting lets the breeze through, but still feels like you have a door. I ended up adding sheet metal to cut down on the wind because kids were complaining it was too cold.

Bestop makes a tube door that you can lock with a key and you can add the enclosure kit to turn them in to half doors.

"offer a little protection"

Any feeling of protection from Tube Doors is false. I love mine but realize in a side impact I am SOL.

Even with full doors you are SOL. I love the little sticker in the Jeep that says doors are for protection against the elements not for impact protection.

You honestly believe that with doors off offers the same level of protection as if the doors on?
