Hard Shell vs. Soft Cover
| Question | Hard Shell | Soft Cover |
|---|---|---|
| Setup and packing time? | Very quick – often just seconds thanks to gas struts. | Requires removing the cover and unfolding the frame – several minutes. |
| Durability and resistance? | Strong shell (plastic/aluminum/fiberglass); better protection from elements. | Fabric is more prone to wear and weather damage. |
| Aerodynamics and fuel consumption? | Lower profile, less wind resistance. | Higher profile, more wind drag, possibly higher fuel use. |
| Price and weight? | Usually more expensive and heavier; requires a solid roof rack. | Cheaper and lighter; easier to mount and remove. |
| Interior space? | Often more compact inside. | Usually more spacious and comfortable for multiple people. |
