Covers what to buy?
I would also recommend Vertigo Covers.
Their product seems to be the ONLY one that is breathable. Having
breathable covers is important to prevent the ingress of condensation.
Other covers trap it in with coated fabrics and try to add ventilation with
netting on the bottom. Where as the Vertigo ones have a breathable outer
fabric which works with the inner liner to wick dry the wings.
Its the only product I would buy and my full set of Vertigo Covers on my
Std Cirrus are fantastic.
I think they do the hail protection as well if you wanted it.

We have a set of these covers for our Arcus M; spent the whole of last
season in the open - April thru' November, Swiss weather - and still
look
good.
Each wing cover is in 4 panels.
Big selling point is the thick honeycomb layer in the top surface to
protect against hail.
Downside is that their English language skills are pretty poor, so
write,
don't call...

Very helpful people.
The previous covers from jaxida did not last as long as our current
ones. The DG500M is the whole season on the airfield.
Its all about Vertigo covers for me.
The UV protection is alleged to be better than all their rivals and
they
won't turn into a brown crisp after 1 year!
You get for what you pay!
My covers are 6 years old and still look as good as new - used
regularly
throughout the season.
I would highly recommend.

Paul, what is the warranty on Jaxida covers. I had a set many moons
ago
and
they did not last well, and they were only used a three or four
weeks
per
year. I too am looking for good covers that will be used maybe
three
weeks
every year, one week at a time.

Hi,
Jaxida has improved their product over the years. Jaxida is an
extremely
well respected company - and preferred by many glider pilots. You
can
pay
less, but you can't buy better quality.

I have found that the Clouddancers Uncuttable covers are better
quality
than
the Jaxida Covers and half the price. Many customers in the
Western
US
were
not satisfied with Jaxida they turned brown and brittle in a couple
of
years.
