I know the safari straps are really top notch.... But they are more than 3 times the price and the Smittybilt seems faster to put on....

But it is loose you say? Does it flap when driving?

I can see in the picture that the fit is indeed pretty medium...

I've got one & love it. I bought the rear soft top door surrounds to tighten it up & now works great.

Doesn't cover the front.. I sometimes put my freedom panels back on.. It does flap. I had to get vector to mount it to the tailgate and put Velcro straps around the roll bars to keep from sagging

Safari straps take longer to put on, but they stay on. You don't need to remove them with the top up.

People really seems to dislike the CRES net...

Thats too bad, it is really to contain my dog and stuff when going on camping or whatever... I would LOVE to get a COP 4X4 but I think they are discontinued and are SOOO expensive... But so sexxxy
