How many of you use fletch covers and which kind do you perfer?

I love mine. I always use fletch-dri powder on my feathers before the season, but I like to use chartreuse feathers and the cover both protects from rain and allows me to get a little extra movement.

I got the fleece advantage cover from 3 rivers and I absolutely love it. I've tried a few others from some different sources and none of them gave me what I wanted. The fleece one is definitely the best I've used so far.

I bought lightweight generic camo fleece from Joann Fabrics and sewed one up...it's not pretty but it works.

I have one to cover up my bright fletch.  Mine is from SafariTuff.  It seems to work pretty well, but it is also the only one I've used.

I also have the 3 River Fleece Cover.  I tie ie to my Fred Bear quiver at the beginning of the season and it stay on until Januarry. It fully covers my 4" pink feathers and wraps. Quiet, light, works well.

I use an old Face mask. I only use it for turkey season.  It doesn't keep them dry but it works.

I had my wife sew one up from water proof material we got at fabric store. I also got the stretch cord to attach it with.that way I can remove an arrow without undoing anything.
I used it only a couple times. It does not rain out here very much anymore.

I got this one at 3 Rivers a few years ago. it has an open bottom making getting your arrows out very easy.

Using a back quiver like I do, at times I get caught in the rain. I spray my fletching down with silicone but I always carry my Kelly Fletch cover.

For turkey hunting I use an old cut off length of cotton camo pant leg with the draw string tied over the bottom arrow gripper rail. I left it open for easy arrow removal. With some spray it could be water-proof, just haven't done it yet.

Since I have been using a SF Duiker, I have no need for fletch covers, but someone posted awhile ago about using baby bottle liners on each arrow.  I thought that might be a good idea especially in rain.

When I use a bow quiver and there is a chance of rain I use the baby bottle liners. They work pretty good.

Like Cyclic Rivers I've used a face mask as a cover but prefer home-made.  Bright/light-colored fletchings can attract attention with the slightest archer movement so covers are handy to avoid getting busted.  They are easy to make.  Mine is from the pantsleg of an old pair of olive-colored cotton thermal underwear (open on both ends).  Just cut to desired length, attach a cord through one end and tie it across the rubber  grippers so that it hangs down over the fletch and nocks.  Effective, quiet (low fletch noise with cotton) and easy to remove an arrow from.

It's good 'insurance'.
