Default Bestop NX Diamond vs Twill Noise

I am going to catch some crap for this post but oh well. I am going to upgrade to the TrekTop but I didnt know if anyone had any experience whether one is noisier than the other or whether longevity is better with the the twill. Any input?

Thanks yall

You probably won't find many guys that have run both. I've ridden in jk with one of the twill factory tops but there was so much different between that jk and mine I have no idea what the actual difference is in terms of noise reduction. Could always go to the dealer and test drive one with a twill top and one with a regular top. Might give you a better idea.

I have the NX twill, replaced the factory standard soft top. The twill NX is virtually silent in comparison to the oe. Between how tight it fits and the 3 layer design, I'd imagine it's much quieter than the standard NX that uses the similar black diamond material as the standard oe soft top.

x2. I just installed the twill, and while I can't speak to longevity, road noise is almost nonexistent.

Honestly I hear very little extra road noise from my hard top to the regular NX
