Amp covers

Not sure if this should be in this section or not. I'm looking to get padded covers for my Head and Cab. The two companies to choose between are http://www.hotcovers.co.uk & [url="http://www.roqsolid.co.uk"]http://www.roqsolid.co.uk[/url] Who has used them, anyone used both, opinions on you experience with them?

Thanks.

I prefer the aesthetics of the Hot Covers, and they look like they have more padding. However the Roqsolid ones are a lot easier to fold up if you need to tuck them away somewhere by the side of the stage, and the material seems like it would be more resistant to nicks and tears.

I have two of the RoqSolid and one Hot Covers. They're both fine but for the base level the Hot Covers one has a bit more padding. Also offers the opportunity for either a bit of amusement or a bit of a disaster as they tend to keep their shape when empty, so when you leave it in the corner inevitably someone will try to sit on it. On the other hand it's quite useful turned upside down with your coats, soft gig bags etc. stuffed in it at gigs.

I got a roqsolid cover when I bought my Rumble 500 combo. Lovely snug fit and it's kept the amp looking pristine. I went for the optional front pocket and cut a piece of hardboard to fit - for some added protection for the cloth grille. They are not cheap but worth every penny in the long term

Thanks for the feedback guys. So looks like most have R[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]oqsolid and even being a little less padded does the job well. Both companies got back to me with the info I needed but [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]roqsolid were really fast and gave a discount code so I think I'll go with them. Cheers again.[/font][/color]

Having had both, was going to say Hotcovers > Roqsolid but it looks like your decision has been made!

Hot Covers for me. Had Roqsolid but they began falling apart after about a year of heavy touring.

Now you have me both thinking...
