After writing harsh but fair review which stated the cowl that I bought was not as advertised, I received a call from customer care who sorted everything out quickly and efficiently. Manufacturing specs had changed although they had not informed I-Sells.co.uk . These thing happen.
The skirt is a heavy duty gritty felt which would appear to more than adequate to do the job
I-sells response was excellent and I would not hesitate to order from them again. Delivery was very quick too
