Xtang trifold security

How secure are these xtang trifold covers? I keep scuba gear in my truck and park at hotels so i am trying to prevent theft the best i can. This is the cover i have on my gen 2, now looking for one for my gen 1 taco. Pop n lock is also on order.

 

Keeps honest people honest. Also out of sight so people are less likely to mess with the stuff. However, slice open with a knife and they can take anything.

 

What is a good one for true security?

 

A hard cover WITH a locked tailgate.

 

You're not talking about the fiberglass ones are you? Would an xtang solid cover be good security? In the trifold is where it folds the weak point for a knife

 

What exact model were you looking at? A knife can cut right through the soft fabric covers. They also make hard trifold covers. These cant be cut, but not impossible to break into, just more secure. Then there is the solid non folding fiberglass covers. These I would say are the most secure, but also the least accommodating for various loads.

I personally, have a retractable cover from Pace Edwards. It is a fabric top, but full aluminum under the fabric. Right now it is not super secure, as I still need to get a locking tailgate handle.

 

Mine is a hard trifold, im ordering pop n lock this week. I know nothing stops a determined thief but i want to make it too much of a hassle to break in just to see whats in it

 

Then its pretty good. Most of the Xtang brand is soft covers. I was very happy with my old Xtang Trifecta, but I realized it wasn't super secure.
