Strong elastic hem
Double-stitched seams

2. iCover PWC5102

The iCover PWC5102 (appx. $40) is not only perfect for jet skis, it can also accommodate small boats. Its roomy design ensures that your personal watercraft will be completely shielded from the elements and in like-new condition the next time you want to take it out for a spin.

3. Seamander Oxford

4. Classic Accessories Stellex

The Classic Accessories Stellex (about $54) can accommodate machines up to 140 inches long, and ties down tightly, preventing any extra material from getting caught and torn during transport. If the fabric does fail, though, don't worry: it's covered by a four-year warranty.
