Arrow Great covers!

I ordered it on Monday and it arrived today. Its the best cover for our Green Jeep, better than the Best Top half cover which is not quite long enough and doesn't have enough straps.

I'm very impressed.

PS. The free hat is pretty cool too!

Nice looking. I'll have to steer my wife to this thread. Bet she'll order one also.

Looks nice.

You think it may be good enough to keep on the jeep while it is being towed on the trailer? You know, for protection from rain.

I've had one of those for a few years now - VERY happy with it. Wish it had the option of deleting the mirror slots (I just fold the mirrors)

In my opinion, it would work for towing if you did your part in placing the strap hooks.

I suspect it would if you took some care in strapping it down as Jeff said. I've not seen any cover product as heavy and well made as this thing is.

Beyond nice.

I am finally ready to order one of them covers.

I need the cover to protect the jeep interior from rain while on the trailer. Are these still the best covers around?

I realize some additional straps will be needed, and the mirror holes should be sewn tight so that the wind doesn't rip the cover off.

i love this cover as well. she and i each have one for our jeeps. i too wish you could order it without the mirror slots...but some easy stitching can remedy that. mine has been leak-free from the start as has been hers. oh, and buddy of mine in our club tows the 2 1/2 drive on his auto dolly to and from paragon and rausch creek with it - no issues so far (as long as strapped properly).

All right, thanks! Just ordered one for my jeep.

Hey, Chris, it is kind of hard to see, but I think there is somebody hiding behind the jeep on that picture. Some kind of animal, I think... A raccoon, or perhaps a monkey...

just for your safety...i'd say your lucky she doesn't even know this bbs exists! my fiance, erica, is also an avid jeeper. her '01 tj is slightly lifted, skidded, and she and i alternate driving our own rigs and spotting/navving for the other person. oh, and she's on the board of directors for our local state jeep club
chris

p.s. the funny thing is that she bought me my raincover and i had bought her the same thing for hers!

I tried the cover on today. So far, it looks like a very high quality product.

Here are some pictures.









The yellow strap is my contraption.

Why - some kinda white trash anti-theft device

PS - used my Bestop cab cover for the first time friday in the rain - it doesn't keep the water out that is for sure.

Sold it cheap (I tried to give it away) to Darrell and Annie so their son could have a cover for his TJ.

I'm going to order one of these tomorrow.

Man, you?re right about the Bestop, it really is an inferior product compared to Rain Gear. I have the one I bought before the Rain Gear ? where?d you sell it?

A picture from the day I took it out of the box:
