 BRP Cover doesn't last too long..
Just a heads up in case anyone was thinking of buying a full cover from BRP; Don't do it!
After less than two years, the cotton inside has decomposed, leaving a fine layer of hard to remove lint every time I remove it.

You must have got a bad one. I have had mine for around 5 years on 4 different Spyders, and although it has faded it is still in great condition inside, and yes it is an outside cover.
We now have His and Hers Spyders.

I have one also from 2010 and it seems as good as the day I got it but I will admit that I don't use it often. It sits in my garage in Las Vegas which gets really, really hot but it hasn't decomposed.

After the inside cotton had started to peel away around areas that they're shouldn't be any (exhaust, rubber tires),
I actually took the time to peel that damaged layer off, and run it through a light dryer cycle to remove any loose fibers, so they wouldn't stick to the bike. All to no avail.. $229 down the drain for another BRP POS.
Any suggestions for any other replacement outdoor one?

You're probably right, but it was my last resort! (And it was on the lowest setting..)
