Customer Reviews

short but convenient4
I waited a few days to review this purchase to see how it works in rain and dew. Basically I like this cover.

Pros:

It's lined with a silky parachute material that makes it lightweight but easy to maneuver over bike components. The outside silver is also slick.

The black wheel, seat, and handlebar outlines are quite handy and the contrasting material looks good.

It's nicely shaped to a bike's outline.

The light elastic at the bottom is some help to keep it curved to the bike. A clip is needed under the bottom bracket to keep it on securely in wind.

It's fairly sturdy without being stiff plastic.

Cons

Pouch is too small to cram it back in easily and without risking tearing the material with the zipper. I wondered why such a tiny pouch.

Why is the cover so short? The bottom quarter or more of a 26" bike are exposed to rain. Lot of important components down there. My tiny folding bike has 20" wheels, and the cover still doesn't reach to the ground in front. I would never have been able to use this on my good Blur.

The seat and handlebars and any other components touched by the cover are damp with moisture in the mornings. Dew seeps through. Most rain rolls off, but moisture still gets through. I've had this problem with a previous cover, and I just keep a plastic bag for over the seat and handlebars at night. Then I put the cover over that.

Easy to use and fits well5
I purchased 2 of these for the bicycles my wife and I ride. They are exactly what I needed to protect our bikes from dust and moisture when parked on our back porch. They are certainly good enough for temporary full weather exposure as well. Our bikes are different brands, mine a mountain bike and hers a ladies cruiser. The covers fit well for both bicycle shapes. There is an integrated pocket to fold the cover into it you want to carry it with you, which would be useful if you are riding to work or school, I suppose. Integrated elastic around the base of the cover ensures a good fit across the tires.

Consider this disposable2
This bike cover is sufficient at first, but, after owning it for a while, I see that it has some major flaws. It doesn't cover the wheels entirely, it doesn't fit back into the zipper pouch once opened, and it tears like crazy after a while. I've considered duct-taping the inside where all the holes are, but then I ask myself: why don't I just buy a better quality bike cover?
