Custom covers - Roqsolid or Hotcovers?

Out of the two suppliers above, which one would be more recommended at the moment? I seem to recall reading that one had been less dependable in the last couple of years, but can't recall which, or whether that still applies. Or are there others in the UK worth looking at?

Have to confess I've no experience of HotCovers having always used Roqsolid, but I'm very happy with the cover I recently had custom-made by Roqsolid for my Trace BLX-110 cab. Very easy to spec via the online form, followed by a quick response and production / delivery once I'd placed the order, and fits perfectly. FWIW, I think Roqsolid are still doing a 15% off discount code at the mo.

Hotcovers every time. Thicker, more robust, perfect fit with every order that I've had... and amazingly quick turn around. Roqsolid for me, are more like a thinnly padded amplifier slip... conversely, hot covers are the fully padded version.

To be perfectly honest, the unpadded dust-cover / amp sleeve type of thing is all I really need, so Roqsolid works for me. I presume HotCovers' "600D Canvas" option is similar, but they don't appear to offer the choice of contrast colour seam binding which appeals to the Gear Tart in me! :blush:

Pretty much what I was going to post verbatim.

This. Although I've had Roqsolids that I was perfectly happy with, I've found that Hot Covers products are better padded and sturdier. You pay a little more, but they are better.
