Default Soft Door question

So I've wanted soft doors since last summer mainly because I got stuck in the rain a few times without doors while at work and put trash bags over my seats so they won't get wet. I want to be able to keep the soft doors (upper and lower) in my jeep (2 door) all the time in case of rain or if my nephews come with me and don't like the wind etc. Is this even possible? I've never seen them so have no idea how bulky they are. Could I stand them up in the trunk? If both won't fit than I probably won't bother getting them so I want to know before I spend the $450.

Yep, it's doable. I keep all four (upper/lower) in the cargo area of my JKU strapped to the backseat. The ones I have are the Rugged Ridge canvas lowers and uppers. They are perfect, but good enough that I take my hard doors off once the temps are above 35 and use them until the temps drop below 35 again. They are a bit 'flappy' when doing 70mph but I'm okay with that.

I have a 2015 2 dr Wrangler and as soon as the weather breaks I run bestop 2 piece soft doors. I love them. As another stated, they are a bit flappy at highway speeds and they do leak slightly. I have the back seat removed from my Jeep 90% of the time. In this scenario I stand the 4 door pieces up behind the drivers and passengers seats and run a bungee cord to hold them in place. When the back seat is in, you can stand them up in the cargo area. If you have the top down it's a bit tight but I've done it numerous times.

I tried to to attach a pic so you could see how the doors stored but you can't really see them that good.

Correction: can't see them at all! Sorry

Yup, you can.
I have them on my JK.
I don't have the back seat in. I pull them apart and just lay them on the floor in the back.
They're noisy, and they leak, but they're the best thing I've bought for my JK
