Great topic!
I have an Extang Trifecta 2.0
I looked at the velcro type of soft covers and went with this trifold. Was about $100 more CDN $ than some of the velcro style ones I looked at but felt it was worth spending more $. It always looks the same and I don't have to worry about adjusting tension etc. It really is a 2 position cover.
Either it is closed:
Or you can open it two thirds and it clips onto the clips at the cab:
Of course you can fold once or twice depending on what you want to put into the bed:
In a pinch you could remove the thing and put it into the bed if you really needed the full bed.
Pros:
-While not cheap it offers good value for money. The tarp is replaceable as are many of the other components. If the tarp got damaged it is replaceable whereas some other covers may not work that way.
-Light; and can be installed or uninstalled in a few minutes.
-One piece unit so no external fasteners or clips. One complete unit.
-Very water resistant. So far I have not gotten any water into the bed and we have had a crazy amount of rain here lately.
-Easy to install and use (latch and unlatch).
Cons:
-Cover is not exactly flush with the bed. I don't mind this but because my truck is a dark color it blends in well. Perhaps if I had a lighter colored truck it would bug me.
-Being a soft cover theft is an issue since anything sharp can pierce the unit. For me I just carry a couple of bins with my jack, battery booster cables, fluids, etc.
-Not the cheapest soft cover out there.
