Default Emfo vs. Jaxida covers

I bought a set of Emfo covers for my Std. Cirrus 3 1/2 years ago in
preference to Jaxida following discussions with owners of both.
I left my glider rigged for most of the season the first year with the
covers on and have used them fairly regularily since, with the canopy
cover supplied as part of the set used pretty much all the time- they show
no visible signs of UV aging or other signs of wear. I ordered mine at a
busy time and was quoted 6 weeks lead time to have them made and they were
ready to be shipped in 5.
Definately no regrets...

The EMFO covers are a little heavier, which means they require more
storage space and are a bit of a handful when you're rolling them up.
But this seems to mean good durability too.
My Nimbus 3/25.5 set was their first for that span of N3. The wing
tip panel covers weren't cut right, but they were replaced as soon as
I provided the dimensions that EMFO needed. Great customer support.
The covers have not seen lots of use, and still look quite new.
