THE BEST MULTIFUNCTIONAL BAG FOR $! Updated on 6/21/21!

This is an amazingly strong, durable and affordable bike cover.: for those who don't have the patience. If you have to turn it on and off many times a day, or more than twice, it can get on your nerves until you get it right. Now I can do it in 1.5-2 minutes by casually putting it on the bike. I can understand many comments about dressing and undressing too long. I agree. But I'd rather choose security than save a few extra minutes. It looks very small, but that's how it should fit. It has a very strong and tight rubber band around the bottom which means you will need to fit it onto footpegs, pedals, tires and anything else that sticks out on your bike. This case really keeps the bike underneath which makes me feel better when people aren't fiddling with my bike. It also keeps thieves or passers-by from easily seeing what's underneath as it's also dark black. Even in direct sunlight, it does not show through. What I also like about this stretchy bottom is that it's virtually impossible for water or rain to get under the cover. I've used others that just fall off, but if the cap isn't long enough to cover an extra foot all the way around the bike, it will end up getting wet on the underside, which can lead to rust. I don't see any way to get water on the bike. I like that there is a zipper in the middle. This is the second level of security next to tight rubber bands. Holes in the front/rear spoke area allow for the attachment of a padlock for added security. This coating can actually stretch a bit. I have no doubt it will cover 2 bikes or 2 kids bikes packed together. I have a large 15x18 pannier on the front of my bike and an extra rear seat on my back and the cover still fits with plenty of room. You just have to work with it until you know which way to go. I use this to protect my bike from direct sunlight in 110 degree weather, especially vinyl. I've had it since March with no problems other than a bit of a disappointment for the first 2 weeks of using it every other day. It does a good job of not getting too dusty. You can just spray it on and let it dry for 20 minutes. It also has reflective strips on the outside for visibility. The set includes a quality drawstring bag that can be stowed away when not in use. All you have to do is fold it up and put it in, then pull the rope. Not difficult at all! You can also use this cover for other purposes. It fits a small/medium sized lawn mower or rectangular BBQ grill. Due to the elastic band when worn over an item and a slightly rectangular shape for the best fit, it protects your belongings perfectly! I highly recommend it, so I'm buying another one for my dad right now. He saw and liked it very much when I first bought it. For such a price, you could NOT find a better case. I paid more for less quality. Updated: 6/21/21. This case is just amazing. Lasted all winter and did not suffer. It didn't even dim. It picks up dust as you might think, something stored outside but I splash water on it and all is fine. Water does not seep through. Waterproof! I have bought 2 so far and when the time comes to get another one I will buy the same one again. At the moment I have no complaints considering the value for money. Actually, I can also put my e-scooter under it. I have tried 3 or 4 more expensive covers but this is ONE!
