...or just go to the dollar store and get a laundry bag/sack. I got one for my pool cover for about 4 bucks. I'm sure the trial cover will fit into that.

I have the Bestop and it works great. I have the dust cover so it is easy to throw in the back under it. I have to agree it would be some work to stuff back into the little bag that they provide. A larger duffel bag would work well for storage.

Maybe that's the way to go..... just get a larger duffel and keep it in the back. Thanks. Does anyone see any difference between the one's that have been mentioned? Or are there some we've missed?

You're right, I was being facetious. :-) Seriously, a short cinch-strap could easily tie up the bundle.

I will buy a steak dinner for the first person to do this, either in front of me, or with a video on YouTube!

Wanted to bump this, trying to decide on a cover and not really sure what the difference is between the Covercraft Weathersheild and NOAH. Also how much different are they from the Bestop. A local 4X4 store has the Bestop, I'm trying to decide if it is worth it to wait for the Covercraft or just go get the Bestop today.

Got the Bestop Cover today. Very glad I did very good product. Fits my 4 door nicely but I will admit that it is heavy and difficult to fold up.

Can't comment an actual results during rain and probably won't be able to for a while here in Phoenix. However other guys have posted pics of the Bestop standing up to hailstorms, rail etc so I would venture to say yes. This thing is just as tough and durable as their softops
