I want a canopy for my pickup.

I like both the ifor Williams solid and the soft one.

What are the pros and cons of both and how does the ifor Williams ship?
Is it completely disassembled and packed safely enough to make the trip to the Bahamas?

How would the soft top hold up in the tropics?

Thanks.

Soft tops are made of a plasticky material these days so would be ok ish in sun, Ifor canopy is pretty big and heavy, not sure it'll pack down either.

I have a spare one but its no good to you in Devon!!

You can't leave anything worth nicking in a soft top though.

I got a soft top, got a big old bit of nylon coated steelwire and a padlock, thread it through hi-lift, my ropes and oil cans and all sorted. Bolted an old ammo box on the floor to leave spanners, bottle jack etc and just stuck a padlock latch on it. Never had any problems with stuff getting half inched

Also IIRC you can't break an ifor down, the skin is one piece.

Hey I'm not in sheffield, I'm out in a village nearby and I think you're confusing Sheffield with Liverpool anyway.
