Will the covers turn grey overtime if left out in the sun? That's what happened to my saddlebags.

Tom, not really sure what the sun would do to the grips. I actually removed mine because I didn't really care for them...

I keep my bike in the garage. Ride several times per week during summer. So far no change in color after one season. I love the grips!

No the light does not bother them...I usually change them every other season due to wear...they are easy to change using an air gun to put them on...there are you tube videos that are awesome for doing almost anything. As far as the fading bags goes there are sprays to bring them back to black and UV protect-ants that will keep them that way... I hound some @ Gander mountain and other sporting goods store near the waterproofing.

Geez it had to happen. The day after I give a thumbs up, the left grip split at the far left end about a half inch. Darn-it. Gonna have to get some more or another brand. I had really liked these so far.

Not sure but they are neoprene rubber much like the grips ago on bicycles. Think overtime will just look at Crispie old but they're pretty cheap so I would recommend him.

My cover is grey and cream colored. It is effective in reducing heat load from the sun and is not showing any aging after more than one year.

That hasn't been my experience. I leave the cover on all the time - no problem with overheating. I love this cover!

My MB has very light grey seats with nearly white stitching. It has not discolored in several uses. If anything, it will take the dirt off from clothing rubbing on the stitching and make it cleaner.

Mine are outside under a covered porch but the rain blows in on them and they are in full southern sun all afternoon. About 6 months so far and they look brand new. The material looks like it will survive anything, The finish may fade eventually and they may rust. I wouldn't have any concerns about leaving them outside with a cover.

Bill, They fit skin tight. I learned a trick on you tube for them. Bring your saddle bags in the house. Use a hair dryer to get the covers good and warm and they will stretch right over and when they cool they are nice and tight. Hioe this helps... Stay in the wind bro

Unsure. I do know that I have owned two of these for a couple of years now.In this ALabama heat & humidity, I thought they would "take a toll" with faded color or rust. They look great! I take them in for the winter and wipe them down with a damp cloth. Put them away and take them out the next spring to compliment my back deck again. I am very happy with both the performance and purchase of these corner racks.

I have light gray leather on my car and after 3 months of sporadic use of this seat cover, I do see the black rubbing off on my leather seats. I cleaned the seats with a leather cleaner and the discoloration came off but I've stopped using the seat cover and is looking for a replacement.

We have had it for a few months and it is a very nice heavy duty cover. I would assume if it will be in the direct sun every day it might fade some.

Hello, it depends what you mean by outdoor. How long they will be outdoor under what conditions? because direct sunlight and extreme weather will damage the bags. Thank you

All covers will eventually wear out from sun and weather. To last a bit longer i spray mine with waterproof boot spray

mine, water will seep through after extended periods of rain. Also, cover lost its colorafter a few weeks. (turned white).

Yes, it might cover grey roots temporarily but it will be a big waste of product.

I don't think so, as it fades to grey. I like it any way and have my second one. They last ~ 3 yrs.

We bought several covers in the Veranda line. We noticed mildew on the inside of the table cover after a few cold foggy weeks (we live in the SF Bay Area). Concluded that it was due to condensation on the vinyl interior. Left our seat cushions underneath the Verdanda covers and some cushions did have condensation and some mildew. I removed the seat covers and soaked them in some bleach+laundry detergent over night. Mildew came out without a problem, but I don't know how I'm going to get the mildew off the interior of the Veranda covers.

I read others reviews posted when i purchased that said they were not weatherproof.I personally bought mine to be inside of storage rm so i cannot tell you this i read from others they molded the cushion inside there bags and were shelded under a pation table that was coverd and still had problems. Hope this helps
