Default Gorilla Bike Covers

If your shopping on Ebay for a nice cover for your Bike and you come accross Gorilla Bike covers, keep on looking.

I received my first one in December and it lasted until April. Then it started cracking all over and falling apart. They did replace it for an $8 fee. The new cover was much worse and didn't last four weeks. The pictures show the results of two windy days. I'm not talking huricane winds, but simply a windy day. Now they want me to ship this one back before they decide if they will ship another. The first time they shipped me a new one and sent me a label to return the old one. I was able to wait for the new one so my Bike wouldn't have to sit outside without a cover. But this time they expect me to leave my Bike sitting outside for about two weeks till I get another. I asked to speak to a supervisor, but was told I cannot. So I told them I would send this one back for a refund as I don't want to do business with them any more.

Buyer Beware!!

Got my new cover from Champion. Like night and day the difference from the old Gorilla cover that fell apart.

First when you open the box a nice little back pack slides out. Open the back pack and you have your cover. The materials are far superior and much more durable a cover then anything I have had. It even comes with a coated steel cable and a lock with a key to lock the cover on your bike. Now this is quality.
