Soft Topper

Who makes good quality soft toppers ?

 

Softopper

Seems too obvious

Not a trick

Your only other option is Bestop

Yep softopper is the brand, very nice quality

Softopper stays nice longer imo because it doesnt have side windows

 

The 2 most popular brands are bestop and softopper. Differences are bestop has side windows and softopper has none. Personally, I prefer the softopper for the more rugged utilitarian look without the windows and rolled up. I usually rock with it up since I transport my dog around. Dont care for bestop side windows that can scratch and dirty up over time making viewing difficult. I'm experiencing this with the windows on my 98 TJ softop. The Bestop also has a bowed up shape in the middle due to the frame whereas the Softopper brand is not as pronounced. I like my softopper and about to add a cage over it to haul bikes , kayaks and possibly an RTT later down the road.

 

awesome, I'm not sure if Im gunna go with soft top or hard top but thanks for the suggestions

 

My Softtop has survived a direct hit by a hurricane on the NC coast and after several years still looks great with minimal care. Would recommend one to anyone. And costs much less than a hard top.

 

Which ever you choose, do not look into a Can-Back softopper. They probably have the best looking and most functional soft topper but many buyers have been burned trying to receive their products from this F rated company.

 

I've had a softopper for about six years. It's holding up great. Easy off and on and weights a fraction of a hard shell. I recommend softopper.

 

Had a Bestop for a few years until the novelty wore off.

Replaced it with a fiberglass shell and couldn’t be happier.

 

Love that my Softopper goes on and off easy, folds to store in the back of the shop and the easy access to gear when it's loaded.

I don't like the lack of security for items in the bed compared to a hard shell though.

 

If you are hauling big items most of the time, the soft top is a better choice since it is easy to remove.
