Item # 732407

REI Members get back an estimated $ 5.00 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Topeak Bike Cover:

The cover is OK. I bought it to cover my bike on the balcony of my condo. It's too small. I have a 29er mountain bike and the cover can just barely go over it. Topeak website advertises a 29er model, but it will not be available until next year. The bottom does not contract or tie down, therefore the wind can get under it. Also, it's hard to get back in the pouch. I could not imagine using this every day as a commuter cover. This one is going back to REI. Not sure if I will pop for the 29er model when it comes out or search for another cover that does the same job for less money.

Comments about Topeak Bike Cover:

I use this to cover my bike while I'm at work. As a bike commuter it is nice to come to a dry bike to ride home on.
It works well in good or nice weather. It good protection from the sun.
It does not fair well in rain and strong winds. My bike is still wet when it rains showing that water seeps through the cover. Also since there is no velcro strap or cinch points, the wind blows under it and eventually works the cover off.
Also, it is not the quickest to install the cover on. The tight fit sometimes requires some fangling to get the cover on.

BikeCave's are better

Comments about Topeak Bike Cover:

This is jut an OK product and certainly below my expectations for something I bought from REI. I would expect this type of item to be found at a mass retailer. It does what it says. But I found something called the BIKECAVE, and it is MUCH, MUCH better. It costs 2x's more, but is worth it. So, this isn't meant as a negative rating for the Topeak cover, just pointing out that there are better choices for the more serious biker.

Commuting
Road Bikes

Comments about Topeak Bike Cover:

I have a daily commute or 15 miles and park in a garage. This cover (in it's bag) fits neatly into my tool bag under my saddle. I ride a Trek 1.2 (52) road bike w/ a rack. The cover fits nicely over bike, helmet on my saddle, and rack, all the way to the floor. Before I head home, it crams easily back into it's bag, back into the tool bag, and ready to go. This product would be better with a couple loops at the bottom to lock it on and and slit in the side for a bike lock to slide through.

Comments about Topeak Bike Cover:

The cover fits tight which looks great, but if you are not careful putting it on the bike, the material will rip as it goes over the breaks or gears.

Comments about Topeak Bike Cover:

If you're looking for a cover to keep your bike dry when kept outside, this is not the cover for you. The cover claims be to water resistant, but it is not. Water runs right through it.

Road Biking

Comments about Topeak Bike Cover:

It really doesn't have any thing big to brag about. It really is a glorified trash bag, but it fits over my bike well and covers up what I want. It's perfect for covering it up in between uses to keep you bike somewhat safe. However there is one thing that I would like different. The bottom of the cover only has a elastic insert on the front and back of the cover which means if you hang your bike on your garage ceiling like I do it will fall off. So if you are going to use it, it's got to stay on the ground.
