Having owned 3 sets of Jaxidas and looked at (and seriously considered)
Emfos over the years I would definitely be getting Vertigo covers next
time. The tailoring is a bit simpler than Jaxidas but the coverage is
good and the new material seems excellent. It is not a coated material
but seems to be extremely water resistant. You can easily blow water
beads off the covers by mouth - they just run away. I have been feeling
inside the wing covers of a couple of gliders parked out all wet summer in
them and the interior is dry - unlike my Jaxidas.

I have no connection to or interest in the company.

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)


I'm not sure if they ship to your country, but Vertigo Covers have
been branching out into glider covers of late, and they seem to be
excellent quality and good for several years - I guess Belgian weather
is pretty similar to UK weather. They are certainly more robust than
Jaxida covers, I haven't handled other makes.
