I recently purchased and installed a Leer HF350 for my '21 SLT CCSB. I chose this cover because of the design features where it doesn't use drain tubes and how the cover sits on top of the rails, instead of sitting in the rails. I also like the latching system the Leer has, as it doesn't have the traditional wire latch pulls that can be opened using a coat hanger and the design appears to be more secure than the other brands. I'm posting this info because in searching there are very few reviews online about this cover. 

 

For background on my prior trucks I have owned a Undercover Flex, Gator retractable cover and a Bakflip MX4. 

 

I installed this 2 weeks ago. The packaging was solid, with nothing damaged in shipment. Installation was simple and straight forward. The hardware is of good quality and the fit and finish of this cover is nicer than any of the others I have owned. The overall design is good and it looks like a lot of thought went into the design, specifically how it doesn't need drain tubes. So far in the rain (heavy downpour) I did get a few water drips in the front corners and along the tailgate. I have since made a few adjustments and will know once we get the next rain storm.  Both the Flex and the MX4 leaked a little bit in heavy rain, and I'm not expecting the Leer cover to be 100% waterproof. So far the Leer is about the same as the other leaking wise, but I think making the recent adjustments will help and I will know for sure once we get another heavy rain storm. 

 

I had the Flex for 4 years, and after about 2 years the paint started to peel off the aluminum frames on the panels. The rubber along the rails and along the tailgate were showing signs of aging and wear.

 

I had the MX4 for 3 years and the only issue I had with it was dents in the top from a hail storm. 

 

So far I would say I like the Leer 350 best, and now that I have it on the truck I would buy this one again without hesitation. I'm impressed with the Leer's design, build quality and fit and finish, plus the 350 was a little bit cheaper than a new Flex or MX4.

Glad you found one you like.Looks good!

On my last truck I had the Undercover UltraFlex and when my paint peeled and flaked I called Undercover for advice on how to repair and they told me I had a 5 year and they'd gladly send me out a new one with a free upgrade to the ArmorFlex for the inconvenience. Now that's top notch service and standing behind your product!

I recently bought a new truck and this time I decided to give the Bak Revolver x4 a try since I liked its low/sleek profile. Both Undercover and Bak are Truck Hero companies and the new x4 also came with a 5 year warranty which gave me piece of mind.
