The cover rolls up and can be secured, plus it keeps a pretty low profile so if you want to ride around with the bed open you can do that. Never had any leaks with this cover and it's durable.
You can't open it without the tailgate being opened, but if you had a coat hanger you could open the back. But you'd have to be pulling at the two lines at the same time to get the back open, so it's incredibly hard to do

This.
I loved my revolver x2. Only got rid of it to get a full topper.
I know this isn't a folding one, but I have the Retrax ProMX and it's amazing. Can hold up to 500lbs on top, is 99% water tight (only area is on the top of the tailgate where blowing water sometimes gets in).
BakFlip
- Lighter weight construction but still very sturdy just not as heavy as the Xtang
- I like the low profile, practically seamless with the bed which i love.
- mine seem to scratch easily, could just be me not sure how others have held up
- I like that you can fold it all the way up to the truck cab to utilize the whole bed. Should also point out it has foam pads where it meets the truck cab, i've never had any scratching or marks from it being open.
I've never had any major issues with water or leaking from either, I also don't expect them to be full water proof.
If I had to pick between these two i'd go BakFlip because for me I like the flat low profile look and the ease in which if folds up.
I agree with AC_F150. I have the BakFlip G2 on my current truck. I also had one on my 2014 truck. It is very sturdy. I have not had any problems with water leaks even after torrential rains here in Florida. I have not had any problems with the drains coming loose. It is pretty easy to install. It is easy to fold up. I have not had any scratches from it being open due to the foam pads. I like the low profile look.
I just ordered the backflip mx4 that hits all your bullet points. pm me, happy to share the great price and vendor.
I end up going with the BakFlip MX4. Liked the flush look, matte finish, can close tailgate without having to open cover, and even though it has drains, can use the holes up towards the top corners to get them out of the way.
Now just need to get my spray in liner done before it gets here
