Is there just one buckle on the bottom to hold this cover on? Is the buckle effective in wind? By effective, I don't mean does it keep the cover from blowing away. I do mean does the cover stay covering the bike on a rainy, stormy day (not hurricane...

Yes, just one buckle at the front wheel. I clip the buckle between spokes in the front wheel, not under the tire. The buckle is effective in wind; when the buckle is clipped, the cover shifts around only a slight bit due to wind on stormy days and my bike stays covered. If you don't clip the buckle and rely only on the elastic along the bottom edge of the cover, strong winds can catch under the cover to puff it up like a balloon and tip over your bike (the wind/balloon effect doesn't happen when I remember to clip that front buckle). You're correct, the bottom edge is elasticized which works really well to cover the front and rear wheels.

We have had storms here with wind gusts of 50-60mph and the solar cover stayed in place. You have to remember that the cover is sitting on the water surface so it gives it a little suction on the surface. Hope this helps. Claire

I just ordered another one-so the answer is no. Hope that two will keep the umbrella from falling over in the wind, but we do have alot of wind.

I have a boy too. Not sure what you mean about the part that covers buckle? The buckle comes through it so that it works just like it does without the cover. The cover's great though. It does a great job at protecting the seat from food spills.

The cover is indeed secured when folded back. You use the same buckle that you use to secure the cover when it is in front.

The rain stays out of it. I've had my bike outside. Then it got really hot here and the seat is still like how I left it before the rain. I'm not am avid rider though.

Yes it does. I haven't put it on my bike yet. I brought it for the price.The top overlap about inch from the side. The inside flap is about 1 1/2 long. You should have no problem with the rain getting inside the bag.

No, the cover does not close at the bottom, but we have had no problem even with pretty high winds. It is a great grill cover and looks so nice.

I had lived in places with high wind in the past, so I would say any covers can get ripped depending to how strong the winds are. With that said I think this one has better chance of staying put, due to its material of construction and elastics at the bottom, also it has a vent which could move the air through it. It is better than any other ones I had in the past and I paid almost twice as much for those.

The cover does not secure very tightly. The straps at the bottom just come together at both ends and cause the cover to narrow a bit at the bottom. I have never had my cover blow off but it is also in a partially protected area on my patio.

No rain cover, but the material is pretty water-resistant by itself. Mine stays on my bike's gas tank and is used every time I ride. I can highly recommend it to you!

The buckle is not an actual buckle, it's a D-ring closure. But yes, it does work. And the shade does fold up.

No buckle. It is elasticized and cover the bike completely. So far with rain, ice and winds the cover has remained secured

There is elastic around the bottom on the ends to hold it in place. There are no additional straps or pull strings. I have found that my cover blows off on very windy days. There is at least one set of reinforced holes at the bottom on the sides. I took a piece of wire, ran it through one of the holes, under the car, through the hole on that side, back over the top of the car and tied it back down by the first hole. Even with very strong winds, my cover has not blown off since.

There is one clip (not velcro) strap on the back left leg of the tall back chair cover....as well as an elastic draw string that tightens around the base of the chair. We haven't had any trouble with the cover moving in wind. Stays put.

If your bike got a rear carrier the brace bar that goes down hold the bag out from the spoke . I've got over 1500 mileson mine and in the wind it don't get close. it will slow you down a little in the wind. Ken

Cover has elastic all around the bottom which keeps it snug to the hot tub. It also has anchoring straps at each corner for adding support in high wind areas. We really like our cover and have had no problems, it keeps our hot tub cover look like new. Hope this helps.
