Have mine in Australia. Several years old, washed them in industrial washing machine once and they are like new.
I have probably used them for 50 days now total. |

I purchased my covers from them, standard + hail. Lewis communicated promptly & effectively, zero delay in shipping and the covers have been in service for over a year. A fellow club member has been using same for over 4 years without issue. The material is of good quality and sewing fine from a functional point of view but 'unpolished' from an aesthetic point of view. The bungee/clip system provided for securing it was inadequate. Whilst I was nervous sending money to a Chinese bank account, the whole process turned out to be painless and I'm happy with the end product, especially given the price.

I responded tot his post five years ago. Since then, I have sold my
50% share in a Duo Discus and bought a Ventus cT. I only wanted covers for occasional use. The Ventus is easy to rig and I keep it in its trailer for most of the time. I only leave it parked out under covers if we have a run of good weather, which is a rarity here in the UK! The service from Kerry Covers was excellent. They do not accept credit card payment so I was worried about lack of consumer protection. I had to wire the money across to China. I did this on a Monday and the covers were delivered direct from China to me at Lasham on the Thursday of the same week. I was subsequently charged import duty but the majority of that charge was the courier's handling fee. In terms of use, the Kerry covers fit adequately but after only two seasons of very occasional use, they have become mouldy in places on the inside and a sticky white residue has formed on the outside. This sticks to your clothes when fitting and removing the covers. In short, they have not lasted well. Meanwhile, I see that the Vertigo covers that were bought nearly ten years ago, are still being used on the Duo and are in daily use throughout the season are still going strong. Moral of the story: Buy cheap, buy twice. I will be replacing my Kerry Covers with Vertigos in due course. |

Perhaps living on a soggy little island caused the mold issues with Mike's covers.
I have a set and have used them for 5 seasons and they are holding up extremely well. They are probably used about 40 nights a year between contests and nights at home. I have seen no evidence of the problems Mike has had. They are 1/3 the price of the expensive covers and I expect I'll get 10 years out of them. Pretty good value in my opinion |
