Default need suggestions on tonneau covers

Any suggestions on a tonneau cover that can bear different weather conditions? I've searched online and found different options just like on this page- http://4wheelonline.com/tonneau-covers.222468. Looks like they have good prices, but I don’t know yet what to get. I prefer a folding hard cover so I can easily access my truck bed and haul large cargo. Based on your experience, which cover is more weather tight? Thanks in advance.

I use the ExTANG tri-fold (hard version) cover for my truck here in Canada. It' bears heavy snow loads, melting snow and heavy rains. Keeps the inside dry. They are easy to install and remove if needed. Access is very easy also. I love it and would not use anything else now.

Have also used ExTang, but the flexible roll up type. The cover lasted over 10 years with reasonable care. Heavy snow was no problem with the 4 bars holding up the cover not counting the ends. Never had any water inside the body, dust yes.

Thanks for the response, guys. I've checked the Extang, and I like the Encore because I can open the front panel and it features a locking system. Hope to get a good deal on this cover.

Not sure what your price point is, but I have a Bak G2 tri-fold and am thrilled with it. It is a little pricier than the other alternatives, but for once in my life I can honestly say that it was money well spent! This thing is heavy duty! I bought mine about 6 months ago from these guys and will use them again next time I need something for my truck.

If you want a cheaper alternative, I've heard great things about Tonno Pro as well. They are cheaper, but give you a decent amount of bang for your buck.
