Topeak Bike Cover (Mountain Bikes) Review

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.

Avenir Nylon Bicycle Cover (Mountain Bike) Review

I purchased this cover a couple of months ago because I was using my Mt. Bike for lunch time rides at work and I could not keep it inside. I did not want the bike to sit outside in the rain and other dampness. I was surprised when I recieved this cover that it was so compact and light weight. I thought it might be flimsy, but it has proven to be sturdy and fits my bike well. It has stayed on through high winds and heavy rain without any problems. It's easy to take on and off and the carrying case is attached to the cover so it doesn't get lost. I honestly don't know how it could be any better for my needs. I just ordered one for my touring bike because it would fit easily in a pannier.
