There's nothing worse than waking up to a rainy, snowy, or slushy day and needing to wipe your bike down before you can get anywhere. Rain, snow, or dust can cause major hardship for the components on your ride and the overall longevity of your frame if left unchecked. 

Thankfully, the folks at BikeParka know exactly what you want in a reliable bike cover. They teamed up with a tent manufacturer from New Zealand to create a bike parka that stays put in wind, keeps your bike bone-dry in the wet, and packs down to the size of a water bottle when you're ready to roll.

The XL Cover is supersized to protect bikes with wider handlebars (up to 100cm), a child seat, or full touring panniers. The ripstop nylon is hard-wearing and seam-sealed to keep the heaviest summer rain off your bike, and its UV protection keeps your paint looking fresh under the hottest sun. A thick elastic keeps the cover secure around the bottom of your wheels - adjust the fit in big winds with the plastic toggle near the top. Enforced brass eyelets at the bottom of the bike add extra insurance for monster storms.
