Anyone have either one, and could tell me which one is better and why?

Thanks!
I have had an Access Tonneau for 3 years and I love it. Easy to install, has kept things mostly dry and easy to roll up and down.

Thanks for the replies! Of the two soft covers mentioned, does anyone have any problem with leaking (like when snow or rain sits on top)?

My Access cover leaks a little, but it's because I have an older one that did not include the "L" shaped seal at the front edge. I believe any new ones come with that seal. At the back end, I get some mist coming through the tailgate sides when driving in the rain, but not enough to soak whatever is behind the tailgate.

My cover actually has more moisture leakage when sitting still. I'm confident I could seal it, but I just haven't had the motivation lately.

No leakage what so ever on my Truxedo Lo-Pro, it doesn't matter if driving or sitting still. There hasn't been water inside the bed of my truck once since I installed the cover. By the way, I installed my cover by myself in about 15-20 mins, very simple and easy to do.

No, at the head end of the bed, you can buy a seal from Access but it sounds like they fixed it by including an L seal with the new ones which I am not aware of since I purchased mine in 2003. I get tons of rain in NCAL and I haven't ever had an issue.
