Best cover for the money?

Hi!! We keep our fifth wheel up in the mountains during the summer, so the RZR and my 800 Sportsman stay up there as well—but unfortunately they have to sit outside. I’ve got one of the UTV covers for the Sportsman, but for the RZR I’ve just been using a tarp, and honestly it’s a bit of a pain to deal with.
I’m looking for a decent cover that can handle the elements without costing a fortune. Something that’s easy to use and won’t blow off in the wind would be ideal.
Any recommendations or real-world experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've used California car covers in the past, but they have not been totally waterproof. Not too long ago I got a cover from Seal Skin which have proven to be totally waterproof, and I've been very happy with it. With any cover for wind protection to keep things from blowing up or off I'd recommend just using the provided straps to secure it to what you are covering. The nice thing about Seal Skin is that they make custom covers for just about anything so they probably already have something that would cover your RZR. They also offer a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship which is hard to find in something you use outdoors. I've got a link that will get you a 20% discount which is a little more than any of the coupon codes they publish: https://sealskincovers.refr.cc/refer...ulb4?s=sp&t=cp

My experience in the past with covers is to get the most expensive cover that you can afford. If it's cheap, don't even bother. Trapped moisture is worse than having no cover at all.
One other thing, critters will get into anything. No cover will prevent that if you are in the mountains or woods.

I have had a great experience with my Roush Branded cover made by CoverKing. I have the Stormproof version. Light weight. Seems like nylon and will keep the weather out, but not really water proof. Mine is used mainly in the garage over the winter months. Have had on outside for a week or so and worked ok.

It will all depend on what your use is. But CoverKing makes a wide variety that will likely meet your needs.

Here is a link to the one customized for my car. Not sure what you have.
