nilebodgers Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I thought I’d look at getting a softcover for my new Ashdown RM210 evo2 cab and have looked online at the Roqsolid and Hotcovers options which are approx the same cost (hotcovers has better padding) and both have recommendations and their fans. The hotcovers one looks sturdier, but I read a comment in an old thread that they don’t really fold up when off the cab which makes them difficult to store at a gig. What are people’s experience of the two manufacturers covers on small-ish cabs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I always get Roqsolid. I’ve had Hotcovers ones before and agree that the padding is better but as per the comment, they don’t fold up too well so you have to find space to store your cab-sized cover. Which can be a bit of a pain in pub venues with no dedicated storage areas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I have both Roqsolid and Hotcovers. Hotcovers are better made and padded, but Roqsolid do the job. If you sling your kit around/treat it roughly, I'd suggest Hotcovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M@23 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I’m going to be looking for one for the same cab shortly. I’ve had both and both did the job. Hot Covers is probably where I’ll go as I liked the padding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I've got Roqsolid on my combo! Very durable and folds up nicely. It's got that flap on the bottom which I don't like though 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Never been impressed with Roqsolid unless all you need is a bit of dust and light rain protection, you can definitely do better for your money. I've always gone for either the manufacturers padded covers or a custom made one from a local company near me. If you're using a van or transporting a fair bit of gear in a people carrier etc then I would 100% go for a more substantial cover, if you just travel to gigs with your cab in the boot or back seat of the car then the Roqsolid one might be more suitable.
