I carry my auger on the snowmobile all the time, the Strikemaster power head cover did not last long (zippers, snow and cold weather are not a good combination). I had a local upholstery company make up a soft canvas-like bag with a draw string to put around the power head, it works good and no worries with zippers anymore, it is over 5 years old and is used constantly. The cost to have the bag made was no more than that of a factory cover.
