Re: Reversible Bumpers
125 used the reversible bumpers for the 2010 season, and standard swap out bumpers for this past season.
In 2010, we really liked the idea of being able to swap the color so easily. Luckily enough, one of our students is a very talented seamstress and volunteered to make the bumpers. As time went on we realized how much more difficult this was than we initially thought. I believe in the end, our student spent over 20 hours sewing the things to get them right.
Even after they were sewed properly, they still didn't look quite as clean as they could be (mainly at the corners where 2 bumpers met). They functioned quite well for the season as a whole, but it was a much larger undertaking than initially thought. That is what led us to change to regular bumpers for 2011.
Hope it helps.
