Purchased one there last year, except it was around $125. Canvas, pretty good quality however the straps are a bit much. Fits great on my Renegade.

Picked one up for going to Revy in January 11. Had it strapped as tight as possible and didn't make Calgary before it started to tear. Great storage cover, not so good for on the deck IMO.

I bought a generic canvas cover from Costco last year with more straps than you can shake a stick at, but it works well better than the nylon ones by far. only cost like 25 buck (clearance would my guess).

I have the same one with the boat load of straps. I found it works pretty good on my Dragon, when you do up all the straps. No rips or tears.
There was different sizes I went for the Large. I seem to recall it being about 25$

sounds like a prmoising cover. I like the doo ones but i dont like the $250 price tag for them. If this generic one lasted atleast 1 season, i could buy alot of covers for 250

The Doo cover from my '04 Rev is just as good as it was years ago and we still use it. The Doo cover I bought for my '09 is just like new as well. They might have been $250 but they will last the life of the sled if tightend properly. Plus I like the padding in the front of the Doo covers. Helps with rocks impact when on the sled deck, unlike the windshield I have to replace every spring on the truck.

Yea I have a door cover... Got 4yrs out of it. Just used it so much that the straps have literally worn out and ripped apart. I got 2 knots holding to together. As well it just just all faded. One buckle is broke. Stitching coming apart around a-arms... Etc

Canvas Mart down in Foothills can tune up your old Doo cover if it's not too far gone. Sounds like yours is in about the same condition as mine and may be beyond help. It's tough to shell out $250 for a new one but I don't think there is a cover on the market (for a doo) that fits as good and lasts as long. If you do go with the Costco unit be sure to report back how it stands up.
