Default Full cover that packs small

Currently, I’m using a half-cover for my Limited which has a tour-pack. I really like how small it packs. However, I would like a full cover that still packs small. Every cover I’ve looked at is bulky when packed. Does a full-cover that packs small exist?

BuckO5, Check the Areostich catalog.They make a ultra lightweight cover that packs extremely small.It is the cover I carried on my trip to Alaska in 09. It's made from the same lightweight material as a parachute. If you are traveling and don't want to use up space this is the cover to buy.I would also recommend their waterproof dry bag. Quality products made to last.

I have a Nelson-Rigg Deluxe cover. It comes with a compression bag that packs it down pretty small. I take it on almost every overnight or longer trip, tucks easily in a saddlebag with my rain gear and other stuff. .

I also have and like a Nelson Riggs. It is the largest size they make I believe and waterproof/breathable. Covers the bike completely down to the axles with a TP on and the elastic bottom keeps it securely on the bike. I have used it hundreds of times and holds up very well, especially for the price.

I have a Dowco, and I think they are the manufacturer for the HD-branded covers. Packs into a very compact compression bag. Mine is XL for my RGS.

I have an Exigent full cover for my 2016 RGU. It packs down quite small if you roll it right. Excellent quality, I recommend it.

I have an Exigent cover also. Durable lightweight full cover with heat resistance in spots by mufflers. Comes with a pouch for storage.
