I’ll second the Kerry covers recommendation. Bought a set for our D2 and
they arrived quickly, fit well, are decently made and are fine for
occasional outdoor use on expeditions as well as their main use as dust
covers inside the hangar.

I am looking for dust covers. My 15 m glider spends all of its
off-du=

col=

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

My sewing skills are nonexistent, and I do not have the equipment

I have outdoor CloudDancers but for hangar dust covers I use Glider

perfectly.=20

I recently bought a set of outdoor covers from Kerry direct from their

office in China. Lewis is the contact person and he will give you a
quote

win=
g covers were sent via FedEx within ten days. The fit is perfect and they
