DuraShield ATV Storage Cover

Installation

1. Remove the cover from the storage bag and unfold the cover.
2. Find the label sewn into the hem of the cover that indicates “FRONT.” Drape the front of the cover over the front of the ATV, carefully pulling it over the handlebars, mirrors, racks, and other front components. The cover is designed to reach over most front and rear rack combinations.
3. Continue installing the cover as you work your way towards the rear of the ATV. Be careful not to snag the cover on the rear rack, foot pegs, muffler ends, and other sharp points.
4. Pull the elastic hem down tightly around the wheels. It should reach down far enough to cover most of the wheels.

Cleaning

With very little maintenance, your ATV cover should last for years of use. To make sure your cover lasts as long as possible, you should clean it regularly. Brush away dirt and grime with a soft terry cloth. Then wash the cover with warm water and a sponge. Do not use harsh detergents to clean the cover, as this may damage the protective coatings. Use mild soap and water to clean stains that will not wash away with water alone. Allow the cover to air dry thoroughly before folding it for storage.

Camouflage ATV Cover

Good cover up for the quad, had a handy carrying case when not covering the unit.
- Gene

This is a great cover for an ATV. I bought this for my boyfriend for x-mas and the camouflage was perfect. The extra-large is a little too big for a 250 yamaha 4-wheeler but its elastic bottom fits snug around the tires.
- Virginia H.

Was nice to use in the rain. It kept the bikes dry.

Trailerable ATV Cover Reviews

Great quality, seems like a really good deal for the quality and the fit of this cover. The straps are in all the right places and the zippered access for the gas tank is perfect. Definitely recommend. Mine is on a Polaris Sportsman 500, which is a big ATV and it has room to spare under this cover.

Trailerable ATV Cover Now on Sale!

This high quality ATV cover is constructed with durable materials to weather the wear and tear of highway travel on an open trailer. The heavy duty 300 denier poly material provides all-weather protection with our special Water-Tec coating that repels water and resists mildew.

Premium features include double-stitched seams, an elastic bottom hem for a snug fit, and one-click adjustable trailer straps for a secure fit. Tie downs are included to keep your ATV cover firmly in place and prevent the wind from billowing underneath the cover.

You can even fill up on the way to the trail with our easy-access, zippered gas tank cover! When you reach the trail, just stuff the ATV cover in the color-matched storage bag and throw it in the cab for safe keeping.

Before storing your cover for the season, we recommend cleaning it. Brush off any loose dirt and debris, and follow the cleaning instructions supplied by the manufacturer. After the cover is dry, fold it neatly and place it in the storage bag, if included.

Make sure the cover is completely dry before folding it. Any moisture trapped inside the cover during storage can promote the growth of mildew.

Store the cover in a dry, protected area away from sunlight. This will help your cover last longer and save you the expense of buying a new one.

Your ATV or UTV cover needs to be cleaned regularly for the best protection.

Special Precautions

To protect the coating, which in turn protects your ATV, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning the cover. The following instructions apply specifically to DuraShield ATV covers, but they also provide general instructions for cleaning most ATV covers on the market.

If the Water-Tec coating (or other special coating) does get damaged, or if it starts to wear off after years of use or exposure to harsh climates, you will need to either replace the cover or re-apply a water-resistant or waterproof coating.

Washing the ATV Cover

Because of the special coatings on your ATV cover, we recommend hand washing the cover for the gentlest cleaning. Use a soft brush and plain, lukewarm water to clean the cover. If you don’t want to hand wash the cover, you can compromise by cleaning the cover in the washing machine with COLD water, NO SOAP, and on the DELICATE cycle. The use of soap or detergent may remove the protective coatings on the cover and may even void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Drying the ATV Cover

After the ATV cover is washed, we recommend letting it air dry. Your other option is to machine dry the cover on a delicate or air only setting. Remove the cover as soon as it is dry. Make sure the cover is completely dry before folding it for storage.

Frequency of Cleaning

How often should you clean your ATV cover? That all depends on the climate you live in and how much the cover will be exposed to the elements. Wash the cover as often as it needs to be washed. The longer you go without washing a dirty cover, the less protection the cover will offer as the material becomes clogged with dirt and other particles.

Hide your ATV on the hunt
with a camo ATV cover.

Sometimes you might be able to ride all the way in to your hunting spot. Other times you may only be able to get part of the way in, but it’s easier and faster than walking the entire distance. Plus you have a quick way to get out in case of bad weather or emergencies.

Once you reach your hunting spot, slip a camo ATV cover over your quad to keep it from spooking the deer and to conceal it from other people in the area. You’ll probably want to hide your ATV in one spot and set up your ground blind in another spot just to make sure the deer don’t catch a whiff of gas or oil from your quad. You don’t want your ATV to spoil the hunt!

What determines the thickness of a cover?

“Denier” is the term used to describe the thickness of a material. The thicker the cover material, the higher the denier.

Are thicker covers better?

Thicker covers are better for outside storage. They’ll stand up better under the wear and tear of rain, snow, sun, and the elements. For inside storage in protected areas, thinner storage covers work just fine.

What is the recommended denier for indoor and outdoor storage covers?

For outdoor storage covers, a thickness of 300-600 denier is generally sufficient. For indoor storage covers, a thickness of 150-300 denier provides adequate protection.

What about breathability?

The thicker a storage cover is, the more difficult it is for air to flow through the cover. Without adequate venting, a thick storage cover will trap condensation inside the cover, possibly resulting in moisture damage. Most manufacturers include a venting system to make a thick cover breathable. The vent allows air and moisture to escape from underneath the cover while preventing moisture from entering.

How much does a quality storage cover cost?

The higher the denier, the more you should expect to pay. If your motorcycle or boat is in a fairly protected area, you may be able to get away with a thinner, lower cost cover. If you store your motorcycle or boat outdoors, invest in a thick, high quality storage cover with vents. It will cost you a little more up front, but the quality of protection will save you money in the long run.
