The cover is tough but very lightweight- much more so than the original canvas Lund cover which was clunky and heavy. The straps allow for a tight or loose fit based on your preference. I keep it looser when it is just sitting in my driveway- tighten them down for travel. I love having the attached motor cover. I don't like my motor sitting and baking in the hot sun, and now the cover offers protection. Very, very pleased. Made in the USA makes it even better. Thank you!
