To whom it may concern, I just talked with Great River Outfitters (I got my replacement VCP hatch covers from them) about life expectancy for the covers. They said I should expect 1 to 2 years. Maybe a little more if I was real careful about storage out of the sun. I was a little surprised, but since they deal with a ton of Valley kayaks I would consider them a good authority. I guess my budget needs to be adjusted to allow for replacements. First gas prices double and now I have to replace hatch covers regularly. That $1.69 flowered shower cap over-cover idea is sounding better by the minute. Maybe I could get white shower caps and paint Inuit pictographs on them. Mark J.
