Default all-weather covers from Kerry Cover Co. Ltd.

I came across the home page of Kerry Cover in China,
www.kerry-cover.com

They offer all weather covers for a quite interesting rate. I wonder if
someone has been in business contact with them and is willing to share
his experiences re. quality, delivery time, etc.

Thanks,

This is exactly the sort of business that folks in China should be
good at, since they have pretty much taken over a good chunk of the
clothing and fabric industry. I am unaware of anyone in the USA that
offers a service like theirs, so I think there are a few of us who
would be interested in any follow-up.

I'd recommend Emfo or Jaxida covers.
It's cheaper to buy quality once instead of sweat shop rubbish
multiple times.

We have Vertigo covers for our Duo Discus. UK made by glider
pilots, they have so far lasted very well for four seasons, including
one in South Africa. They compare very well with other European
manufacturers for durability, quality and cost.
www.vertigocovers.co.. Well recommended!

The three sets of Jaxida covers we had were before production moved to
Germany, but they had a finite life of about three seasons even if
reproofed with a latex mixture every year.

I now have a set of Vertigo covers, and I am very happy indeed with them.

Peter,

Kerry Covers used to make covers for CloudDancers. There was talk of
quality issues and the relationship was ended.

CloudDancer Covers can be purchased:

I have a sample tail plane cover on a glider parked out side in
Williams, Ca.

It appears to be an exact knock off of a Jaxida cover. It has been 2
months and seems to performing about the same as well. Turning yellow
bit providing protecting from sun and dew set.
The delivery was very fast.

At 600 dollars for a complete set delivered for a Duo Discus I am so
far impressed.

I have these covers here......no quality problems! Already many happy owners
here in the USA and sold several to other coutries as well and all have been
quite pleased and quite impressed with the quality of materials and
construction and very reasonable costs.

Have had mine now for 3 seasons. Only use them occasionally(around 30 times). Holding up as new.
But I do treat them at the start of every season with Star Brite waterproofing with PTEF. I use a spray bottle and then a brush to spread it. It dry's in a short time and doesn't yellow. It also helps with UV protection.

Best. #711.
