OK 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.

Needs some improvments
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.

Great 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.

BikeCave's are better
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.

Not the best
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.

Nothing Fancy
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.

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.

Bike Cover is Great
This product is so good because it folds up so easily and is lightweight and yet very durable. Just what we needed for camping

Will this work using a tray style receiver hitch bike rack to keep rain off the bike while driving?
We would not recommend using the Topeak Bike Cover on a tray rack that is mounted to a moving vehicle. The cover is only attached to the bike by the elastic band located on the bottom. A strong wind gust could cause the cover to come off while the vehicle is moving.
