All Weather Covers

Any recommendations for good all-weather covers (rain, sleet, snow, dark of
night)?

These seem to be the best: http://www.cobratrailer.com/?lang=en

Nice, but not an option in this case!

Just one word of caution. Don't use them in moist climates, because in the morning the covers surly will be moist (wet?) and you stuff them someplace while you go flying for 5 or 6 hours. Then you land and think "Oh yes, I will fly tomorrow. No need for the covers tonight."
End result: Mold and early cover disintegration.
We replaced that unknown set with CloudDancers (www.CloudDancers.de) and like them.

I have a set of CloudDancers for my Libelle. I'm also very pleased with
the covers and with the general attitude and responsiveness of
CloudDancers.

I have been very happy with the covers sold by Eastern Sailplane.

They seem to be rain proof, keeping the machine dry underneath. The construction looks same as more expensive covers from Europe and they fit perfectly.

Try Skycovers, we had a set made for our Arcus, £700 and they are great
value for money, we have used them a number of times now with no problems,
fully waterproof, well worth having a look.

Rain Sleet Snow Dark of Night are important.

At the top of my glider cover priority are flies
Dang flies.
Are Cloud-Dancers truly fly proof?
gotta know...
Richard?

Yes your glider will not fly with the covers on.
