Who is worth checking out? Need a decent amount of protection e.g. not just a rain cover.

    The padded Roqsolid ones are great at very reasonable prices.

    Roqsolid is best value and hot covers look tough, but a Studio Slips cover (in brown) looks lovely and is for for keeping visible and near your significant other.

    I like hotcovers, I've got around ten at the minute, they've all lasted well.
    Incidentally I just contacted them about one small issue I had with a cover I've owned for maybe five years.
    They've asked me to ship it back and they're making me a new one for free.

     I have one roqsolid one thst came with an amp and haven't been impressed.

    Roqsolid are good but I think hotcovers are better.  They feel more padded and durable.

    I have used Jenart in the past for one off custom stuff and they make a great quality cover.

    Roqsolid, but always get the 5mm foam padding upgrade.

    Roqsolid for me, perfect fit and well padded for when Grandma gets frisky and twats it with the vacuum.
    My other passion is firearms! Does that make me a closet Redneck???

    Got a hotcovers for my Bandit and it does so much more than just covering the amp. You can move the amp in full confidence that nothing is going to happen to it.

    To be fair, if it’s an old Bandit you could just tie it to the back of your car and move it in full confidence that nothing is going to happen to it…

    I've ordered a couple of covers from CoverAmp in Quebec, Canada
    https://coveramp.com/?ln=en

    Prices are good and shipping also reasonable...

    Will report back when I have them

    The cab is very strong, but the tolex is certainly not bulletproof. The cover takes care of that.

    The older ones were - the particular rough tolex they used will strip the skin from your knuckles if you’re not careful, and is apparently bonded to the wood with the same glue that Boeing later found was OK for holding the wings onto a 787…

    Another vote for Hot Covers. I’ve got four on various amps plus a gig bag for another little amp, and they’re brilliant

    Older than the Transtubes - Solo series (80s-90s) and earlier.

    Like reinforced concrete with gravel render on :).

    Ah, the one that survived the swarm attack in Stranger Things then. A true legend.

    Roqsolid. All my covers have come from them and always survived years of heavy use and heavy hands.

    Did you get any additional padding? Or is this just the standard? They do look great
