Default Emfo vs. Jaxida covers

This question was already asked in 2005....and no real answer was
given to the initial author (James d'Andrea).

I recently have received from Emfo company a small piece of their
cover they are proposing. The external plastic sheet seems to be far
more robust than the one proposed by Jaxida. I intend to buy a Emfo
covers set when the current Jaxida ones I have will be completely
"eaten" by UV.

Has someone a pragmatic experience with the Emfo covers? What is the
expected life time of the Emfo covers? How robust is the Emfo covers
against UV and humidity (belgian weather)

Cheers,

I have use EMFO for 3 summer. They fit very well , very well made.and
do not show any sign of wear.
They must be aired if you have heavy dew in the morning. They tend to
accumulate mildew inside otherwise.
The elastic band to attach them could be better but it is a minor
item. Good buy for the price.
