Why Choose a UTV Cover?
Utility Terrain Vehicles were designed as an alternative to ATV’s. A UTV can also be referred to as an SxS (Side-bySide) are designed in such a way that they can withstand almost anything; however, constant exposure to harmful UV rays, rain, snow, and debris can affect your UTV in several ways.
If your Side-by-Side is parked outside during sunny days, prolonged exposure to the sun can cause the paint to fade and also cause damage to the cables, grips and seats. Rainy days can be equally bad for your UTV. Excessive rain can cause corrosion and condensation inside your UTVs gas tank.
If you are fortunate enough to own a garage, or a pull barn you need to understand that even small particles such as dirt, dust, and insect frass can scratch the exterior finish and cause considerable damage over time. Unless your garage is air-tight and temperature-regulated, dust, pollen, and moisture can still get in and wreak havoc on your vehicle.
