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

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. On Tuesday, October 14, 2014 8:55:23 PM UTC-7, Charlie Gillespie wrote: Any recommendations for good all-weather covers (rain, sleet, snow, dark of night)? |

I'm also very pleased with the covers and with the general attitude and responsiveness of CloudDancers. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org | |

I have been very happy with the covers sold by Eastern Sailplane. http://www.easternsailplane.com/cata...ers-p-125.html 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. Soartech |

Soartech 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.
