XTSL Cover

babidius · Oct 22, 2010

If you have an XTSL which cover do you have and which is most durable? Thanks!

I've had the Eclipse in a regular XT, but the cover didn't change with the XTSL. It snagged easily because it was mesh. I would assume the Nitro would do the same since it's also mesh.

I saw the Shadow at a store and it seemed like it would repel water or other liquids longer than another fabric. It's slick.

The Bentley, Flora and Petal are all plush.

I have the Ventura which is just regular cotton. It's not as soft as the others, but I like it. I only let kids have water in my car so we haven't had any spills where i've had to wash the cover.

I've heard Ventura cleans up like a dream. I had one of the super-soft covers on my RN80 2 years ago and it repelled liquids really well. I have a Nitro right now and it snags and DS1 hates the way it feels.

I have 2 Nitros, and while I think they are awesome, DD hates them. She won't even ride in the seat. She says they are scratchy. Instead, she is RFing in DFS's TrueFit because I got tired of fighting with her every.single.ride. I just found out that I am pregnant with a girl, so I might order a Flora just to see if she likes it better.

We have nitro - The white piping looks kinda grey even after washing which is annoying, but other than that its fine. No snagging issues b/c ds only wears flip flops or WAHM shoes, never anything with velcro.

I ended up ordering the Shadow for my boys, it looks like it will wear well.

Probably to late in the game but I have:
Flora
Ventura
Bentley

Out of those three I like the Flora best. The Ventura snags easily even though it's a cotton base and I'm really not fond of it.

From what I understand, while the shadow is slick and rumored to be easy to clean up, it has terrible off gassing and smells like chemicals for a while.

I read that but I think I will air it out a bit. My boys and I don't go out everyday so maybe I will wash it and hang it out to dry, we live in the country so we have fresh country air, lol. Thanks!
