    So true. Just convenient and easy.

    Weird, but I don't mind. Even if I crush one someday. They're easily replaceable.

    Yeah I don't think it's a big deal, it's just different is all.

    We're 20min north, but I'm down there and around often.

    I'm more than happy to meet up whenever. Gimme a shout when you're heading this way.

    They do not disappoint.
    Great build quality.
    Fairly inexpensive compared to a matching topper. Looks rugged.
    still very waterproof. (If you take care of it)
    Super easy to take on and off

    I’ve bought one for every truck I’ve owned and never been disappointed.

    Oh nice. The weekend before the eclipse was the first time in ages that I saw the MW and my first experience of starshine. I was in awe. Slept at about 4,000ft without a fly. Little mistake there. :D

    I need that again.

    I'm obsessed with the milky way. I've been trying to get better at tracking the north star so that I can track the milky way across the sky. Fun stuff

    Run it year around. No issues. Quality is excellent! I as well use 303 from time to time. As others have said, don’t overthink it. Best mod I’ve done on my truck hands down.

I camp all over in mine. From hot to cold, and monsoonal rain storms, my softopper has never let me down, I love it.

    Camp in mine almost every weekend with the wife, its been great. I fold it up and take it off during the week, if you plan on having it folded up even 50% of the time, buy the cover. I'm really glad I did. Keeps it nice and tidy instead of flapping around.

    I used to see it nightly at home in BFE PA. I hate the light pollution here.

    My girls have only seen a sky full a few times.
