Tie down the snowmobile cover tightly to prevent lofting and flapping in the wind.

If your snowmobile cover is not tied down properly, it will flap in the wind and the material can get torn. The cover should be tied down as tightly as possible to prevent lofting and flapping, especially during trailering. The ends of the straps should be secured as well.

Attaching the Tie Downs

Your snowmobile cover comes with adjustable tie down straps to secure the cover from blowing or flapping in the wind during storage and trailering. To secure the cover, match the corresponding straps and clip buckles. Thread the strap through the buckle and pull it tight. To make the strap even more secure, thread the end back through one slot in the buckle. Tie off the end of the strap to keep it from flapping.

Repeat this process for each set of straps. The straps on the front of the cover should reach under the struts and secure the front corners of the cover to each strut. Make sure to secure the strap over the seat, under the rear struts, and under the tail of the snowmobile.

Securing the Tie Downs

You may wish to use extra tie downs for trailering, depending on how snugly the snowmobile cover fits for your specific make and model. Watch out for loose fabric or strap ends, as these can tear at the cover and cause damage.

Make sure all straps are tight before taking off. Stop and check the straps every so often on your way to the trailhead. Tighten the straps as needed to prevent the cover from flying off or flapping in the wind.

Snowmobile covers provide protection against sun, UV rays, rain, snow, and dust.

Nylon tends to absorb small amounts of water, which extends the drying time. DuraShield snowmobile covers are made from polyester, which is non-abrasive to protect your paint. Our covers also include a special lining to protect the windshield from scratches.

A quality snowmobile cover will protect your sled from damaging exposure to sun, UV rays, rain, snow, dust, and other elements. It should also be designed to prevent moisture buildup by allowing moisture to evaporate. Dual access rear vents in the DuraShield snowmobile cover allow moisture to escape from underneath the cover and allow the cover to breathe.

If you plan on trailering your snowmobile at all on an open trailer, make sure the cover is trailerable. A trailerable snowmobile cover is specially designed to withstand the forces of high speed travel. A tie down system secures the cover to your snowmobile, and the thicker material resists rips and tears from exposure to the strong wind effect created as you drive on the highway.

Not all covers are alike. You may think that a storage cover could pass as a trailerable cover, but the truth is that storage covers designed solely for storage may not hold up to the wear and tear of highway travel. The three main features that set trailerable covers apart from the pack are material thickness, tie down straps, and a secure fit.

Material Thickness
When you travel at high speeds down the highway, the wind can whip your cover around something fierce. Thinner, less durable materials will tear under the force of the wind. In order to withstand the wear and tear of highway travel, your boat cover or ATV cover must be constructed with heavy duty materials. Trailerable covers are thicker and more durable than storage covers, making them able to withstand constant wind, rain, and other forces during travel.

Tie Down Straps
With the force of wind speed, your cover needs to be securely strapped down in order to stay in place. Tie down straps ensure that your cover stays in place on your boat, jet ski, or four wheeler. You can adjust these straps as needed for a tighter fit.

Secure Fit
Without a secure fit, the wind can whip under the cover and “parachute” your cover. Getting whipped around by the wind can damage your cover. Make sure the trailerable cover for your boat, jet ski, or quad ensures a snug fit to reduce the wear and tear on your cover during trailering.

Trailerable covers make excellent storage covers as well. If you plan to use your cover for both storage and trailering, look for a cover that will work for both purposes.
