I have and use Alaska Wing Covers [ alaskawingcovers.com]. I have had them for about 4 years now and like the tight fit so they don't flap around in the wind. They might be a bit costly bit I think they are worth the money.

Where are you from? I am in Saint John, NB for the winter. Lost my wing covers last year along with my new ELT antenna in a big wind storm. Haven't replaced them yet as I don't know whether I'll keep the plane or not. Haven't hardly been home long enough this winter to fly anyways.
There's lots of great folks here, hope you'll join in often.

I have ordered from Bruce's. They have an excellent selection of covers for the 150 with several options of protection. I was looking for something to help with the hail here through the warm season and snow off in the cold. I went with the all season padded covers for the wings and tail.
I spoke to Alaska, they didn't have anything for hail protection but were willing to work with me to make something, but suggested about $1500 for just the wings. I paid $1070 for both, plus the shipping to Canada, I am looking forward to that bill... | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 7,054 Likes: 99 Member/5000+posts! | Member/5000+posts!

I ordered mine from Kennon covers ( http://www.kennoncovers.com/). Frees shipping to Canada from Wyoming. I think it was around $575 Canadian. I am located in Sask and we had some days this winter with HUGE wind (100km/h) and they did develop a couple tears. Easily fixed with a good sewing machine I suppose. But the are nice looking and fit well.
