Compact Bike Cover

Any suggestions on a bike cover that is compact and easy to use for travel?

I just picked up a Nelson Traveler. Its a thin, nylong parachute like material so it packs real small, about the size of lets say a hand towel folded up. Not sure how good it would be in a downpour, but for general utility and camoflauge, it works well. I think it was $30-40.

Hmm. I don't see a "Traveler" model?

I like my Geza cover. Not waterproof, but it packs up pretty small for travelling.

Yeah, I've had a couple of those, and wouldn't mind another one, but it's a little too bulky for what I'm looking for.

If the other one goes down to the size of a folded hand towel, that's exactly what I'm looking for,

Yeah, I actually wouldn't mind something a bit less bulky. The Geza's not bad, but less bulk is always better when travelling.

What size do you think I should get for my 954? I was looking at this cover http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4636201584&sspa gename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT Might work out for you? I am wanting something to cover my bike from the sun and rain. Its a half cover like the Geza but alot cheaper.

Yep...I have the stretchy Geza too. I really like it for when I ride to work. It is a little big though...not much room for anything in the 929 trunk other than the cover.

I ended up getting the UV-2000 1/2 cover. Very compact and works well.

Used it on our trip to the mountains: http://www.fireblades.org/gallery/sh...p?i=6953&c=750

Conq, what size did you get for the XX, large? I was thinking about a medium for the 954. Whats your thoughts?

Watch out... a stiff wind will blow that over...

ok, I'll stop now.

Doh. I guess I didnt see your reply conq. I was wrong, mine is made by Guardian, "Traveler", XL. The UV-2000 is what I was after when I found this one localy.
