x 2- I have the same ones, and I'm happy with them. Bonus for me is that they are from a local vendor, but not sure if they're made here.

I have been using them for years. They really make difference when it gets cold.

There was already a opening for highway pegs but it was not large enough for mine. I took a razor an cut open the stitching and made the opening large enough for my peg to pass an also to allow enough room to cover my fog lights. It is a tight fit and not perfect. I purchased heavy black thread and heavy needle from a fabric store and sewed the released folded edges. I really did not like covering the lights because I use them all the time. But I would rather be warm and have dry feet the few times a year I use the soft lowers.

Agree...if you're gonna do lowers - might as well go all out & do it right...

Once you get them on - they never come off.

So...when it's 100 degrees out, you get to share it with the engine? No thanx.

I like to feel all the air when it gets above 60 degrees.

ya, me too. Those Fleabay covers didn't look too bad; worth the money, but I am glad I sprung for the Airlites, regardless.
I need to do something with the holes I cut for the ground lights, even tho I cut them very neatly; I'd like some kind of rim around them to finish them off, but that sewing idea isn't bad either!
...if I can find the patience...

Dunno, they definitely stamped the company logo in them, I'm assuming they're made in canada but it's hard to say for sure.

I also liked them because the cutout for the highway peg is lower compared to other brands. I like my highway pegs low so I can rest the heels of my feet on the boards.
