'Rough Country' Tonneau?
I am looking for a soft, tri-fold tonneau for my 5.5 bed.
Requirements:
I saw these 'Rough Country' covers... but I have no been able to find any reviews on them. Good price at $229, but I'm good with paying a little more for a high quality soft cover.

Thoughts?
Or, what are some other suggestions?
I have zero interest in one the rolls or buttons.
Requirements:
- Easy to remove when I need to use my entire bed
- Not water tight, but keeps water out reasonably and seals pretty good around the edges
- Locks with the tailgate
- Not a cheap material that will sag and fade from sunlight
- tri-folding - I do not want or need a hard cover
- Looking to spend $200-$400

That rough country will be the same as all other cheaper soft tri folds. They can be had for around $200.
In your price range you're not going to hit all the requirements you're wanting unless you buy used. All the cheap covers use a cheaper vinyl that holds a lot of dirt (hard to clean) and will sag/ fade over time.
I would recommend trying to find yourself a used trifecta or bakflip.

My buddy just got a hard trimfold extant that is nice....
What about the extant soft fold? Is about $400 so I assume is nicer than other soft folds? ...however for that price might as well get a hard fold...
I really don't need anything special, and not sure how bad soft covers start to sag after the years?
I really would rather not spend 700-1000 for a hard fold, but perhaps trying to find a used one would be good... But sure will be hard to find one used...
Blah, I know soft folds are not the best, but for $200... Hmm..
How long to soft covers typically hold up? ...will use 303 aerospace to keep the cover from fading.
