Default Covers what to buy?


The Vertigo optional hail protection layer feels very shock absorbing
but makes the covers very heavy and bulky. I think it is worth it for a
glider parked outdoors in South Africa or somewhere else prone to
large hailstones but if not and if I ever need another set of covers it
would be Vertigos without the hail protection layer - unless they
come up with a lighter weight version'

Their product seems to be the ONLY one that is breathable. Havin
breathable covers is important to prevent the ingress of

condensation
Other covers trap it in with coated fabrics and try to add ventilation

wit
netting on the bottom. Where as the Vertigo ones have a breathable

oute
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

m
Std Cirrus are fantastic.

I think they do the hail protection as well if you wanted it.

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 fou

weeks
per

year. I too am looking for good covers that will be used mayb

three
weeks

every year, one week at a time.

I have found that the Clouddancers Uncuttable covers are

better
quality

than
the Jaxida Covers and half the price. Many customers in th

Western
US

were
not satisfied with Jaxida they turned brown and brittle in a

couple
of
years.
