I've tried OEM,Slippery and Jettribes and the Jettribe is by far the nicest quality cover for the money .
It has zippers to gain access and straps to go under the boat if you desire but will stay on without the straps because it fit's like OEM .
The only problem with any cover is when I went to straight bars none would fit anymore because I had a stock hood still .
I've heard the jettribe will fit with straight bars if you have a lowered hood/nose but havent actually seen it work .$99 for a jettribe .
I sold my to Saki so he might know if it fits with the AM bars

I have a slippery cover and love it, it fits over my xmetal bars but is tight. The access panels and extra straps are nice and it looks awesome. Only had one problem, didnt have plugs in my ODI grips and after a 20 hour trip to texas the ripped through, worked great for shorter trips. Im going to patch and reinforce the areas where the bars sit now and it should be better than new. My ski stays in the garage with the pole up and hood off at all times so I dont have to worry about it fading.

most things that have some sort of UV protection fabric, paint, plastic ... will hold up pretty well in the sunlight.
cheaper things, fabrics, paints, plastics without UV inhibitors dont fare so well.

I currently have three matching OEM covers I use for trailering. I had a Slippery I purchased for my old squarenose. The fit, finish, heavier denier and zipper access was nicer than the OEM. BTW the square covers will fit the Roundnose.
I will try a Jetribe next time.
Hey guys.
Check my company out at socalcovers.com
My covers won't fade or transfer color to your ski. They are made out of Sunbrella or Glen-Tuf material which is the same that they use to cover boats.
Ours are custom to fit your exact ski and are perfect for trailering. They even come with gas flaps so you don't have to take the cover off the fill up, no matter what model you have.
We have covers for all the newest models as well as the classics that just get better with mods.

No offense So Cal, but this is the best deal I've found on the same covers:

I looked around the site and it was hard to tell what he is charging for S&H. I know that we have a very low markup and with a 10% discount that almost eliminates it.

most of our ski cover business comes from people (say Florida) where their skis sit out on their dock all year. Or if the skis are trailered a lot. If you have it in a garage it may get a little dusty, but thats about it.

only time I use a cover is when trailering longer distance.

Yeah mine is sitting on my dock so I gotta protect it from the sun. I want a loose fitting one though. It's too big of a PITA to put a tight one on every time, if I don't need it tight for trailering.

I have this same Blowsion one pictured and it is great. I had a Slippery before that and HAD to strech it to get over my short, lowered and straight bars.
You live on the water, spend the $250 and get the Blowsion ones. They have the gas door, plenty or room to pull it all the way over your rail with stong bungee type elastic sewn in. It has a zipper over your tray for easy access. I have my ski in the garage now (cover off and stiff) but still use it when trailering. Love it! Kevin at Legdrag.com (cheaper shipping) :Banane09: usually has em or can get em quick.

$78 each and shipping was $20 for 2 covers. Best deal I could find
(as long as they show up!)
Covercraft is a good cover too. They fit well, and have zipper access. They look like the Wamilton and the Blowsion covers too. I got one with a ski, but I sold because it didn't match the others.
