All Wheel Trim hoods, any good?

[Gareth]

After my Exmoor trim hood rotted and tore after just short of 3 years use, I have been looking at other options.

One seems to be All Wheel Trim. Had anyone got an experience of their recent products, and can comment on longevity?

I've just bought one for a Ninety and very happy with it. No idea how long it will last, but the quality is good. Most importantly, I've dealt with AWT for donkey's years and never had a problem that they couldn't sort.

You could ask what weight of fabric they use ( per square metre) Some are a bit thin. I've asked one or two including Exmoor and they all seem to be about 18 oz.
I haven't done so yet but it would be interesting to compare that weight with duck. I think Martrim might even quote the weight on the web page for the duck they supply.

From the website. 18oz Filamore 100% cotton

A quick look at double duck gives a thickness of 2 mm and weight in the region of 42 oz per square kilogram e.
