Ultimate Shield: Skinz Road Bike Fork Mount Protector for Enhanced Safety Review

Good quality, fits securely, in contrast to cheaper competitors. Protects the bike fairing and seat from the elements while you are in the car. It also seems to reduce wind noise somewhat. Note. This model is NOT waterproof. If you have a leather seat, you can also use a separate seat cover. Skinz makes a waterproof model that costs about twice as much.

I have just ridden 3,000 miles on this bike cover and have been very pleased with its performance. There have been complaints of sharp knobs on the handlebars poking through the casing.

Although it isn't advertised as being waterproof, I believe this must be due to the high price of this product. Also, the product is too small for my height of 60cm, which is not a problem in my case as I found an…

Below is a review from a few years ago. The product worked great. Then they began to shorten, and two of them broke. I got one replaced for free. I decided I was going to use the velcro extension on the front and decided to buy another one. It was July 7th. The company appears to have resized to make it even smaller. It no longer fits my handlebars. I know my arms haven't gotten wider so the bra has gotten smaller. My bikes are 59.5 and 59. One is Pinarello FP-7 and the other is FP Quattro. I…
