Sled Cover

I'm thinking of going this route.....

Anybody have any experience with them? $51.00 for a trailerable cover with a two year warranty sounds a lot better to me than $180-300. I've had the $200 factory covers and they are nice....for awhile.

Anybody ever tried one of these? And what size did you use?

Thanks,
Murph

Murph - I have two of them. I have the XL's. Plan on them lasting about two seasons. I trailer quite a bit and they work just fine. I will now be ordering another one to put over my sled when sitting on the trailer outside in the sun and then putting on my expensive Skinz just for trailering

Good to know, thank you.

i know two people that have ruined motors because road grime (i.e. sand type material) got into the intakes and ingested. the sno-skinz cover is very custom fit and also comes with an inner cover that just goes over the hood area, made of a soft material that protects the paint. NEVER had the slightest area of paint affected. however a few hours of rocks and sand blasting the hood might...
no way i pay 12 grand for something and then let it get covered in 5 inches of brown muck without protection.

Exactly!!! Take some pride in your ride!!!!

Wow, don't know where that came from. I normally don't call somebody out on here, but this is a first class company (SnoSkinz) with a first class product. I couldn't disagree more with your post.


BigRock on the SPG's - these covers should not be left outside and used for storage, just use for trailering. They asked me to go ahead and post this on Snowest. In all honesty, with the price point that these covers are at, that is information that should have been included to help consumers make an informed decision. I love the cover for trailering - top of the line, but not sure that I would have purchased one just for trailering and then not keeping my sled covered between trips and having to have a seperate cover when not trailering.

I don't know, I figured out along time ago that the sun rots just about any kind of material, without being told by anyone. If I didn't have a garage to park my sleds in, I would find some kind of sheltered area, even if I had to rent a storage area or space from a buddy. But that's just me.

I will not cover my sled if it goes on an open trailer, the wind makes the cover rub on the paint work AND IT WILL RUB THROUGH face-icon-small-con

I can't speak for the SnoSkinz, but I can assure you that my sleds show ZERO abrasion/scuffs/damage from my SPG covers.
