Re: Bumper covers, two bumpers sets or reversible bumpers?

The flipable covers work well as a convenience but are difficult and time consuming to make. They also are dificult to properly secure and can look sloppy. We used them in 2010 and 2011 but gave up in 2012 because they took too long to make and weren't worth the effort.

I say go 2 complete rigid sets. In the long run you'll be happier.

Our team used one rigid set and one removable cover and we didn't like how the removable cover look after going through matches. They would hang and not look good. So for that this year my team has decide to go with two sets of rigid bumpers w/ quick disconnect pins.
