Are brand-specific covers like Weber worth the premium over generic 58-inch covers?

Opinions split sharply. Some r/webergrills posters say their official Weber covers lasted 5-10 years and call the fit and material worth the price; others in the same subreddit and in r/BBQ say their Weber-branded cover tore within 1-3 years while a cheaper Unicook or King Kong knockoff outlasted it. The honest answer: brand-specific covers fit better out of the box, but generics often match or beat them on fabric durability.
