The South California based company has released a new series of personal watercraft covers. Recently we tested the new cover that features a new waterproof (The triple coat of PU backing makes the material 100% waterproof, except for the joining seems) material (Featuring the "Stealth Skin Technology" with advance weaving pattern that is twice as strong compared to the previous material), velcro instead of zip at the gas tap area and new graphics. In the past the plastic material that was placed around the edges around the rear was deteriorating especially when it was wetted by salt water. The recent model does not have this particular material in the inner side of the cover. The cover is supplied with side and rear tie down straps which are engaged via completely detachable buckles. The new 2011 design is nice and the material seems to be a lot better. The particular 800SX-R cover was supplied by Champions (www.championsjetski.com), the official importer of Jettribe products in Greece.
