The purpose of the present invention is to provide an exterior cover for straddle-type vehicles which can be light-weight while ensuring rigidity and toughness. This exterior cover (50) for straddle-type vehicles includes an integral laminate resin unit (63) which is integrally formed by laminating a first resin layer (62) and a second resin layer (61) in a state in which the first resin layer (62), formed from a crystalline resin, is thinner than the second resin layer (61), which is formed from a resin with a lower Young's modulus than the first resin layer (62). In a first cross-section taken in a first direction intersecting with the exterior surface of the exterior cover (50), the integral laminate resin unit (63), which comprises the first resin layer (62) and the second resin layer (61) integrally formed in layers, forms a cover main body (51U, or 51D) on which the exterior surface is formed, and two first curved parts (54U, or 54D) formed curved at both ends of the cover main body (51U, or 51D).
