I am looking for dust covers. My 15 m glider spends all of its off-duty hours in my hangar, but since this is New Mexico (i.e., a desert) it collects dust and I would like to keep it covered, especially over the winter when I do not fly as much. Jaxida and Cloud Dancers offer dust covers, but the $500 to $1,000 cost seems high, and that's not including the $200 shipping charge. Are there any alternatives? I searched for Kerry Covers, but there is little info on their website, and I couldn't find any prices.

My sewing skills are nonexistent, and I do not have the equipment anyway. If I do decide on a do it yourself solution, what fabric should I choose? I've been thinking breathable, waterproof ripstop nylon.

I have outdoor CloudDancers but for hangar dust covers I use Glider Pyjamas which are very keenly priced, well made and fit my glider perfectly.

I recently bought a set of outdoor covers from Kerry direct from their home office in China. Lewis is the contact person and he will give you a quote - contact info is on their website. I paid by wire transfer and the new wing covers were sent via FedEx within ten days. The fit is perfect and they are of decent quality. Perhaps not as good as Jaxida, but one quarter the price and great value.
