I am one of those people with high standards, does a ton of research and doesn't mind paying more for quality. I have a Weber Genesis - in my opinion the best grill for the money that will last a lifetime if it's taken care of.When I bought it in 2010, Weber made AWESOME covers for it. Yes they were expensive. But, they were made of heavy and thick material, didn't fade, didn't leak and fit perfectly.When that finally wore out after 5 full years of being exposed to the elements, the search for a replacement began. EVERY other cover on Amazon, including the actual Weber cover is the same. A lightweight nylon/poly cover. They fit ok and look ok. After a couple of months they start to fade and by 6 months, they will be varying shades of gray depending on what's most exposed to the sun. By less than a year, you will see cracks and leaks.This cover however is the BEST! It is heavy and thick made of high quality material. When you put it on, the weight of the material pulls out wrinkles and contours to the shape of the grill. The Velcro straps then pull in the sides tight to keep the cover on and protect your grill from the elements.The material has a nice texture and the red stitching makes it look custom made - all for less than half the price of the now crappy Weber cover!Here's my advice - you spent over $500 for a great grill. Why bargain shop or be dumb in your choice of covers so that you need to replace your grill instead of just buying a new cover every 5 years?!?!? A great, well made cover! And no, this was not a paid review - I paid for my cover!!!
