Have a link?
If the PA covers are comparable in quality, I'll price match for GTAM members.

Sale prices are reflected online now.
I'll put in my two cents as someone in this business. Seems that there are two models: the regular and the deluxe.
The regular is a piece of junk and you'd be better off buying the same thing from ebay for half the price if you're so inclined. That thing will not only fall part very quickly with the UV and weather but it may catch fire against a warm pipe/component. I had one of those many years ago and the thing melted against my pipe. You can't pay me to put that on my bike.
The deluxe seems a bit better. It's still not up to par by my standards but it may be good enough for someone looking for a cheap dust cover. The elastic hem at the bottom looks pretty poor and my guess is that will be the first thing to go on the cover. The silver bottom part with these are often sprayed on and it will rub off onto your paint. It is a b*tch to remove if it even comes off. I can't comment until I see the cover in my hands. Can't tell if it has a soft fleecy lining on the inside or if it is fire resistant but again my guess is that it won't be based on the specs posted.
I wouldn't personally touch either of these two but since I gave my word I will still offer a discounted price for GTAM members, you can PM me if interested. Cheers

PA covers are perfect for my bikes, I only use them to keep the dust off of them during the winter hibernation period....
put an old bed sheet on the bike first, then put on the cover, easy peasy....

why not use a plastic tarp...then you can hose it off in Spring to remove all that dust built up?

not sure what tarp you are using or if dragging across bike to remove
but simply put a old sheet under tarp

exactly what I said....
I like the bike cover, as it more or less molds to the bikes shape, those green tarps are a pain in the behind.....plus my green ones have blood and guts stains from deer hunting....so not something I want to use....
